83
10.2 Starting the device
Connect the +18 … 30 V DC supply voltage (typ. +24 V DC); the BCL 308
i
starts up and the bar code
reading window appears on the display.
Deviations from these settings must be set via the webConfig tool. See "Leuze webConfig tool" on
page 78.
As a first step, you need to set the communication parameters of the BCL 308
i
.
10.3 Setting the communication parameters
With the communication parameters, you determine how data is exchanged between BCL 308
i
and host
system, monitor PCs etc.
The communication parameters are independent of the topology in which the BCL 308
i
is operated (see
"Ethernet topologies" on page 70).
10.3.1 Manual configuration of the IP address
If your system does not include a DHCP server or if the IP addresses of the devices are to be set perma
-
nently, proceed as follows:
Have the network administrator specify the data for IP address, net mask and gateway address of the
BCL 308
i
.
Set these values on the BCL 308
i
:
In the webConfig tool
In the main menu, select
Configuration
, submenu
Communication
->
Ethernet interface
.
10.3.2 Automatically setting the IP address
If your system includes a DHCP server which is to be used to assign the IP addresses, proceed as follows:
Activate the DHCP client mode in the BCL 308
i
.
Via webConfig:
Configuration > Communication > Ethernet interface
Activate the
DHCP
= ON setting there.
NOTE
The BCL 308
i
can decode the following code types in the standard setting:
• Code 128
Number of digits 4 … 63
• 2/5 Interleaved Number of digits 10
• Code 39
Number of digits 4 … 30
• EAN 8 / 13
Number of digits 8 and 13
• UPC
Number of digits 8
• Codabar
Number of digits 4 … 63
• Code 93
Number of digits 4 … 63
• Code GS1 Data Bar OMNIDIRECTIONAL
• Code GS1 Data Bar LIMITED
• Code GS1 Data Bar EXPANDED
NOTE
If the setting is performed via the webConfig tool, the BCL 308
i
must be restarted. The set IP
address is only accepted and active after this restart.
NOTE
The BCL 308
i
responds to ping commands. A simple test to determine whether the address
assignment was successful is to enter the previously configured IP address in a ping command
(e.g. ping 192.168.60.101 in a command line window under Windows).
