Ethernet Port Operation
Note:
The optional Remote Communication Board is required to make an Ethernet connection.
The IS1001 reader can be monitored and configured remotely across a local area network.
1. Connect the IS1001 reader to a local area network using a CAT5 Ethernet cable (not
supplied).
2. Start the BioTerm or BioStat communication program.
3. Determine the IS1001 reader
’s IP address by selecting
Tools > Lantronix Device Utilities
and clicking on the
Search
button within the BioTerm or BioStat utility.
The IS1001 reader is set to automatically obtain an IP address when it is powered on. The
easiest way to discover the assigned IP address is to use the BioTerm or BioStat
communication program. This utility will scan the network for Lantronix products (the IS1001
reader uses a Lantronix XPort Ethernet module) and will display the IP addresses of the
devices it finds. If there are multiple IS1001 readers on the network use the MAC address of
the IS1001 readers
’ Ethernet module to help identify each one.
4. Select the desired IS1001 reader and then click on the
Connect
button to make a connection
to the IS1001 reader.
If you receive an error when attempting the connection, make sure the BioTerm or BioStat
communication parameters are configured as follows:
•
IP address
= the IS1001 reader
’s IP address
•
Port
= 10001
•
Connection type
= TCP/IP
If connection problems persist or if the IS1001 reader is not shown in the list of found devices,
use the Lantronix DeviceInstaller utility to reconfigure the IS1001 reader
’s XPort Ethernet
module (described in the
Configuring the IS1001 Reader
’s Ethernet Settings
section on page
25).
