When using multiple IPICO readers, timers will need to assign a unique IP address to each reader. IP addresses for Lite Readers (Serial Number AB000250 and Below) may be changed by using the Network Enabler Web Console. To do this, complete the following steps:
- Note: Your PC must be assigned to the same subnet as the reader. Use the following link to Assign Static IP Address to Computer
- Note: You will need to make sure that the reader's IP address is added to Compatibility View Settings within Internet Explorer. Use the following link to Add IP Address of Reader to Compatibility View Settings within Internet Explorer
- Power on Lite Reader
- Connect Lite Reader to computer via Ethernet cable
- Open Internet Explorer
- Note: You must use Internet Explorer when accessing the Network Enabler Web Console, as it is not fully compatible with other browsers.
- Enter IP address of reader into address bar
- Note: Lite Readers are set to 10.19.1.51 by default
- Press Enter
- Under Main Menu, select Network Settings
- Next to IP Address, enter new address
- Note: If you are only changing the last section of the IP Address, you do not need to modify the Netmask.
- Note: If using FinishLynx set IP Address to a 192.168.0.XXX range.
- Note: If using FinishLynx set Netmask to 255.255.255.0.
- Select Submit
- Select Save/Restart
