The fastest and most reliable network communications is always through a cable. This also gives access to the most reader functionality. Connect your timing computer’s Ethernet RJ45 socket to the reader’s Ethernet RJ45 socket using a standard CAT-5 network cable. The router module can then automatically assign an IP address to your computer. The reader will be assigned the first IP address 192.168.0.101 and your computer will be assigned the next available IP address. eg. 192.168.0.102
