IPV4
• Obtain IPV4 Address via DHCP - The reader supports both automatic TCP/IP configuration via
DHCP and manual configuration. The DHCP button turns DHCP on and off.
If DHCP is turned on, this window displays actual current values of the reader's IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway, and DNS server. Because these are obtained from the DHCP server, they
cannot be changed manually.
If DHCP is turned off, you can set the following values for these fields.
• Current IPV4 Address - IP address (in dotted notation) at which the reader is assigned.
• IPV4 Subnet Mask - Subnet mask (in dotted notation) appropriate for the network in which the
reader resides.
• IPV4 Default Gateway - Default gateway (in dotted notation) appropriate for the network in which
the reader resides.
• IPV4 DNS Server - DNS server (in dotted notation) appropriate for the network in which the reader
resides.
• MAC Address - The MAC address of the reader.
NOTE: You must click Commit to update the network configuration (see Save Changes.) If the Commit
is not successful, the system indicates the problem and allows correcting it by repeating the operation.
DHCP and IP address updates do apply until the reader is rebooted.
