Troubleshooting an Ethernet Connection
If your reader does not appear in the DataMan Setup Tool’s list of detected network devices, you may need to adjust your
network settings.
1. First, check your Ethernet connection and click
Refresh
in the DataMan Setup Tool.
2. Next, scan the
Enable DHCP
code below (which you can also find in the
DataMan Reader Configuration Codes
document available from the Windows
Start
menu or the Setup Tool
Help
menu). This might allow the reader to
acquire a suitable IP address from a DHCP server on your subnet.
If the reader still does not appear, you can use either the Add Device or Force Network Settings options in the DataMan
Setup Tool.
1. If you know the IP address of the reader, use the
Add Network Device
option under
Reader Maintenance
.
2. If you do not know the IP address, use the
Force Network Settings
option. Either method should allow the
DataMan 8072 ER reader to appear in the list of
Network devices
so that you can connect to it through the
DataMan Setup Tool and your Ethernet connection.
If none of the above helps, reset your reader to factory defaults by scanning the
Reset Scanner to Factory Defaults
code below.
