• Obtain IP Address via DHCP - Toggles the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) On or Off. The
DHCP server running on networks can assign a dynamic IP address to the host and readers. Turning
DHCP on autopopulates the Current IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server fields. To
manually set these fields, toggle the DHCP to Off and enter the values. Contact the system administrator
to determine if the network supports DHCP.
• Current IP Address - IP address of the reader, in dotted notation. If manually assigning an IP address to
the reader, check with the system administrator to ensure the IP address is valid in the network.
• Subnet Mask - IP address that determines to what subnet an IP address belongs.
• Gateway - The reader uses this IP address to access another network.
• DNS Server - The reader uses the Domain Name System (DNS) IP address to translate domain names.
• MAC Address – Specifies the reader MAC address.
• Web Server – Configures the web server in either HTTP (unsecure) or HTTPS (secure) mode.
• Shell – Configures the shell to either Telnet (unsecure) or SSH (secure) mode, or disables the shell.
• File Server – Configures the file server to either FTP (unsecure) or FTPS (secure) mode, or disables this.
• USB Operation Mode - Configures the USB client port on the reader to either Network (Virtual Network
Adapter) or Active Sync mode. The default mode is Network. Changing the USB Operation Mode restarts
the LLRP service on the reader.
• Allow LLRP Connection Override (From USB IF) - This option is available only if USB Operation Mode is set
to Network. Allows the reader to listen on an alternate port (49152) on the virtual network (over USB)
interface. When an LLRP client is connected over the primary interface (Ethernet and primary LLRP port)
and this option is enabled, a different client can override this connection on the alternate interface (virtual
network and alternate port 49152). This also allows the primary interface to override an existing
