Troubleshooting an Ethernet Connection
Based on your network conguration, the Setup Tool may not be able to
communicate with the reader and it will not appear in the list of Network
devices.
First check your Ethernet connection with the reader and click Refresh in the
Setup Tool. Next, scan the Enable DHCP code in the Reader Conguration
Codes document available from the Start menu. This might allow the reader to
acquire a suitable IP address from a DHCP server on your subnet.
If the reader still does not appear, you can use either the Add Device or Force
Network Settings options in the Setup Tool.
If you know the IP address of the reader, use the Add Device option. If you
do not know the IP address, use the Force Network Settings options. Either
method should allow the DataMan 60 reader to appear in the list of Network
devices so that you can connect to it through the Setup Tool and your
Ethernet connection.
You can also use the RS-232 connection to congure the reader with
parameters that allow it to communicate over your Ethernet network.
Use the Setup Tool Menu Bar
The In1 button on the toolbar creates a virtual rising edge signal on
Input 1. Use the In1 button to activate various actions such as training
a code, optimizing brightness or setting a match string without a
physical input 1 channel.
Each reader can store its current set of runtime parameters to a
conguration (.cfg) le, which contains information such as the enabled
symbologies and how any output data should be formatted.
The same conguration le can be loaded onto multiple readers, as the
le does not contain identication information such as the IP address or
device name of the reader used to create it.
A reader can also generate a Cognex device conguration (.cdc) le,
which stores the set of runtime parameters plus any identication
data, such as the name of the device, its IP address, subnet mask, and
so on. Cognex recommends generating a device conguration le for
each reader to allow you to restore a reader to its operating state with
minimal effort.
Use the File menu of the Setup Tool to manage .cfg and .cdc les,
export parameters, or to load, save, or train uploaded images.
