Network Settings
Field
Definition
IP Address
An IP address specifies a unique host ID for the reader on a particular TCP/IP
network. Consult your network administrator for a valid IP address for the reader.
Net Mask
A net mask modifies a standard IP address into subnets. A default class C net mask
should be valid in most cases (either 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.240.0). Consult your
network administrator for the net mask value.
Gateway IP
Address
A gateway allows the reader to reach other systems not on the local network and
remote systems to reach the reader. If the reader requires external connectivity,
consult your network administrator for a valid gateway address.
Net Host Port1
or
Net Host Port2
Connection Type
– The following connections types are available for each network
port:
TCP/IP Server: As a TCP/IP server, a Port # must be specified. In this case it
is the TCP/IP client’s responsibility to initiate an AXIOM connection.
TCP/IP Client: As a TCP/IP client, aside from the Port #, the Remote IP
Address of the TCP/IP server which is to receive the bar code messages must
be specified. The
Reconnect Time
specifies the interval (in seconds) at which
the AXIOM attempts to establish a connection.
UDP Messaging: In some instances, it may be desirable to use a
connectionless UDP message to send bar code data. In this case, only the Port
# and Remote IP Address of the receiver need to be specified.
EtherNet/IP (Net Host Port1 only): This enables use of the EtherNet/IP protocol
on the AXIOM.
Message Format:
There are four message format options: Custom Message,
Standard Message, User Defined Message and MUX (ADP) Message.
Controller/Client
Configuration
Number of Client Readers
- This number in a multi-reader network must be
defined on the AXIOM Controller. Drop-down list selectable for up to five (5) AXIOM
readers functioning as “Clients”. Client readers must be set at zero (0).
Group Number
– All AXIOM readers in a Controller/Client group (both the
Controller and ALL Clients) must be set to the same controller group number. The
default of zero (0) disables a reader from listening for messages to become a client.
Ethernet Link
Drop-down List with 2 selections: 10 Mbps/Full Duplex, 10 Mbps/Half Duplex
Message Format
Selection Definition
Custom Message
