Finding a "Lost" CS468
Sometimes, the operator may have changed the IP address of CS468 and then forgot what it is.
In that case the user can use the auto-discovery function of the Demo Application to search for
the CS468.
1.
Hardware Setup
The only external hardware connections required by the CS468 are power and a connection to the
network.
1.
Connect the CS468 to a network with Ethernet cable. Please note that you may need a
"Crossover" Ethernet cable for connecting the reader to a computer directly. For
connecting it
to a switch/router, it depends on whether the switch/router’s network port
supports auto-switch to handle crossover cable (Auto-MDI/MDIX). If not, then a
straight cable is needed.
2.
Power up the CS468.
2.
Software Setup
After the hardware setup, open the Demo App. The utility provides the following functions:
1.
Search for available CS468 in the network.
2.
Change the CS468 device name and IP address.
3.
Change the TCP timeout value. (best set to zero)
4.
Update the CS468 Boot Loader and Image to newer version.

reader searching function to work properly.
