Status Verification
The status of the reader, the PC software, and the network link in between should be constantly
monitored. The following are the methods:
1.
PC server side IP configuration: run command prompt and then run "ipconfig". Make sure
the PC IP address is in the same subnet as the CS468.
2.
CS468 reader side IP configuration confirmation: run command prompt and then run "ping
192.168.25.203" (or any other IP address that you have already assigned to the CS468
reader).
3.
Socket status: run command prompt and then run "netstat -na"
4.
Reader read tag capability: put a reference tag (tag with an ID that you know a priori) on an
antenna connected to the CS468 reader. Reference tag is actually an excellent idea to
check the health of a reader. The backend system should monitor the presence of this ID.
If this ID is seen, then the reader is still alive and well.
