Then, proceed with the network setup

Net-Autoset procedure

Network Wizard procedure
=
Express Network Setup procedure
Net-Autoset
This procedure is to be used when all scanner addresses and labels are unknown (typically when configuring the
network for the first time or whenever a network reconfiguration is required).
By clicking the
icon or selecting the "Net-Autoset" option from the Device menu, the Net-Autoset procedure is
started allowing automatic assignment of random addresses to all slave or Stand Alone scanners connected within the
network.
Once the procedure has been completed, it is possible to:
define customized addresses and labels through the Network Wizard;
display the scanner default labels through the Express Network Setup.
Express Network Setup
Before performing this procedure, an ID-NET™ address must be assigned to each slave scanner. The most practical
method is through the Net-Autoset procedure. Refer to the scanner Reference manual for details about alternative
address assignment methods.
Once all addresses have been assigned, the Express Network Setup is to be used when all scanner addresses and
labels do not need to be modified.
By clicking on the
icon or by choosing the related option from the right-click menu, the procedure is started
which automatically performs the following operations:
- opening the wizard;
- polling the network to discover connected scanners;
- transferring all scanners found to the "Requested Devices" area of the wizard where your network
customization is defined;
- saving the new network configuration;
Once the procedure has been completed, a dialog box will appear asking whether to send the configuration to the
Master. Choose the "Yes" option to start this procedure.
