How To Configure PoE Readers

Configuring PoE With Telnet

1. Open Command Prompt window
2. From command prompt type telnet and the assigned IP address of the PoE reader followed by 9999. Example c:\>telnet 52.46.49.44 9999

NOTE: If you get the message that 'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file, you will need to enable Telnet or contact your network administrator.

Once connected, the user will be prompted to enter a setup mode. This will bring up the configuration menu options.

0 – Server Configuration

To edit the server IP address currently assigned to the PoE reader enter the IP address when prompted. After the IP address has been edited, the user will be prompted to enter the subnet mask in the same manner.

Once all edits have been made, “set Gateway IP Address (N)” will appear. Press “Y” then “Enter” to change to an alternate gateway address. Otherwise, press “Enter” at the prompt to leave the entry as it is.
