1. 

Select your network interface if you have several options on your PC.

 

 

2. 

Your network is automatically scanned for all HERMOS reading devices using the

 

„Search Devices“ button.

 

 

3. 

Select the desired reading device in the list to open the network settings.

 

Here, you can edit the network settings and apply them to the 
reading device by pressing the respective button. 

Use „HERMOS“ if 

you are asked to enter a password! 
 

 

After parameters are changed, the reading device reboots and can be read in using 

„Search Devices“.

 

 
 
 

 

CAUTION 

Changing network settings generally cause the reading 
device to reboot. This closes an existing HSMS host 
connection.
