8 Web server
The unit is equipped with an integrated web server that allows to
●configure the IP settings of the unit
●update the firmware
The settings are made via a web browser, e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer® as from V7.0
►To access the web server, connect the device to a PC using a suitable M12 Ethernet connection cable.
Please note that the evaluation unit and the PC must be set to the same IP-address range.
Default: 192.168.0.x (→ 8.1 Verify and set the IP address of the PC)
►Open the web browser on the PC and enter the IP-address of the evaluation unit
Default: http://192.168.0.79
8.1 Verify and set the IP address of the PC
►Activate menu "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties".
The Windows menu "Internet protocol (TCP/IP) Properties" is accessible for example via:
Start → Control Panel→ Network and Sharing Center → Change adapter settings → Local Area
Connection → Properties.
►Select the menu item "Use the following IP address".
►Verify and set the IP address, if necessary (here e.g. 192.168.0.10).
►Enter the subnet mask (255.255.255.0).
►Leave default gateway blank.
►Confirm the settings with [OK].
Changes in the network settings of the PC require extended user rights.
Contact your system administrator.

8.2 Tab "Home"
This is the main menu from where all functions of the evaluation unit can be accessed. Additionally the
Ethernet/IP EDS file of the RFID evaluation unit can be downloaded to configure the device within a PLC.

13
UK
8.3 Tab "Network"
This menu allows to change various Ethernet interface settings of the evaluation unit.
Consult your network administrator which settings are necessary to integrate the device into the existing
network.
If the evaluation unit is directly connected with the PC a static IP address setting is recommended.
(→ 8.1 Verify and set the IP address of the PC)
The network address of the PC must resides within the address range of the evaluation unit.
Example:
PC Ethernet IP address: 192.168.0.10
Evaluation unit IP address: 192.168.0.79
Red marked address settings must be the same, if Subnet Mask of the evaluation unit is 255.255.255.0
Be careful when setting the IP address of the evaluation unit. This address should not exist in the
EtherNet/IP network.

14
8.4 Tab "Firmware"
This menu allows to update the firmware of the evaluation unit.
►Open the “Firmware” tab on the browser interface.
►Choose firmware file DTE102.nxf and commit via button [transfer]
Do not interrupt power or disconnect cables from the system while the firmware transfer is in
progress.

15
UK
8.5 Tab "IO-Port"
This menu allows to configure the IO-Ports of the evaluation unit.
Each IO-channel can be configured to mode „Inactive“, „Input“, „Output“ and „RWH“.
Mode Function
Inactive No function, inactive
Input IEC 61131 input
Output IEC 61131 output
RWH RFID read/write head (Type ANT4xx or ANT5xx)

16
“Data hold time” define how long the RFID data are kept stable. This is helpful if the time interval, in which
the RFID tag data are available, is shorter than the host can read these from the RFID unit.
“Number of blocks” define the number of blocks available on the ID tag.
“Block size” define the number of bytes per block available on the ID tag.
If the value "Block size" does not match the physically value of the ID tag, the read and write
commands will fail.
“UID edge controlled" allow the reading of the UID of the ID tag once by setting bit "RD" from 0 to 1 in
the process data output image of the controller. This mode is suitable if the user knows when the tag is
present in front of the Read-/Write head. The read UID is kept in the data bytes 2…18 stable while bit RD
is set to 1.
►Set “Overload detection” to “off” if the load on terminal “L+” is above 0,5 A.
The current is limited to 0,7 A by hardware.
►Set “Overcurrent detection” to “off” if load on terminal “C/Qo” is above 0,5 A.
The current is limited to 0,6 A by hardware.
►Set "High Current" to “on” if the current on ports IO-3 and/or IO-4, terminal “C/Qo”, shall be possible to
1 A.
The maximum power input shall not exceed 3,0 A, otherwise the device can be damaged.
Button Function Remark
