Possible faults when operating as a DHCP/DNS server
Note that the optical reader is set up as a DHCP/DNS server when establishing a
connection via the "CONNECT" button. This may interfere with communication in an
existing network. Another DHCP/DNS server in the network must not be enabled.
If the IP address of the reader is changed after the connection has been established, the
connection is aborted. In addition, the "CONNECT" function is disabled. This function can
be enabled again via the "Settings > Options > Extras" menu.
Automatic adaption using the "READ" button
Using the "READ" button, you can align the optical reader and automatically adapt all
relevant program settings.
● To use the function, you need a code in the target area of the reader.
● The WBM of the reader is closed.
