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 hostnames 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. 

As an alternative to using the host name on the reader 
label, construct it using the reader MAC address on the 
bottom of the reader. To do this, enter the prefix 
FX7500, followed by the last six characters of the MAC 
address. For example, for a MAC address of 
0023683BA63A, use the prefix FX7500, followed by 
3BA63A. Enter

address bar to access the reader.
