4.3Connecting to a Reader using ReaderManager
Magellan’s Readers are complex and powerful
network devices. As most network devices they
should be handled by well trained network
administrators.
A Reader provides Ethernet and USB device interfaces to allow for client
connection. The USB interface uses TCP/IP networking over USB as the
protocol. This allows you to connect to a Reader as if it was a normal
network. So all the usual services, such as telnet and FTP are available.
Step 1. Open the Reader Manager. Ensure a communication cable is plugged in and
a Reader is turned on.
ReaderManager will automatically detect all Readers on the local network.
When a Reader is connected for the first time to a network using an
Ethernet cable or a host computer using a USB cable, the Reader is
identified by its Model Name-Serial Number (recommended to keep).
Customers can replace or add additional
information to the Model Name-Serial Number
such as a physical location or customer ID
number.
Subsequently when a customer starts using the
Reader the new name will appear on the list of
Readers in the
Connection
menu.
Tip: If you want to use the new name
immediately, simply unplug the power connector
and plug in again to view the new name on the
Connection
menu list.
