the browser (For example, for a FX9600 MAC address of 0023683BA63A, use the prefix FX9600,

NOTE:Connect the reader to a network that supports host name registration and lookup to ensure the
network can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register host
names through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled in
both the PC and in the reader, although it is not guaranteed that host name will work all the time. Use the
host name printed on the reader label, or construct it using the reader MAC address on the bottom of the
reader.
