3.1.3
Configuration of Dynamic IP Address Mode
Dynamic configuration of an embedded encoder device is typically utilized when
programmatically accessing the OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device. This process is detailed
in the OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder Advanced User Guide. The basic manual steps which the
utility supports are shown here.
To add a new OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder device in Dynamic IP Address Mode select the
Use
Dynamic IP Configuration
option and click
OK
. In this mode the IP Address or Printer Name will be
specified at the time that the encoder session is established. See section, “Using Dynamic IP
Address Mode to Establish an Encoder Session”.
3.1.4
Completion of Device Configuration and Installation
The OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder Utility will attempt to install the new encoder device
instance. The installation process may require a couple of minutes to complete, especially if this is
the first encoder device instance installed on the current server or workstation. During the device
installation process the following dialog will be displayed.
If the newly installed encoder instance has been configured in Fixed IP Address Mode or Fixed
Printer Name Mode, the OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder Utility will attempt to establish a
temporary encoder session with the newly installed encoder device instance. This temporary
session will enable the utility application to retrieve the device configuration information, including
the associated serial number. During this device configuration process the following window will
be displayed.
Upon successful completion of the device installation (and, if required, the temporary encoder
session process) control will return to the main window of the OMNIKEY 5121 Ethernet Encoder
Utility. The new encoder device instance will now be displayed in the Encoder Selection drop-
down list. Device Display for Fixed IP Address Mode.
