Introduction
In this manual you find the instructions to install and configure your
IP-reader. This manual is meant for all the Inepro IP-readers.
This manual, the IP reader hardware and software are subject to
change, make sure you have the latest version of this manual,
because the older versions may have become obsolete.
Function
The purpose of the IP reader is to read the unique ID contained in
the card that is presented to the reader and transfer this ID to a
server. In most cases this data will be the card serial number. To
facilitate this a variety of card reader software module have been
developed. Our configuration tool will enable you to change the
setting on the IP reader board.
Topics
The following topics will be addressed:
1. The components in the IP-reader set
2. The operating procedures
3. Communication
4. Network Connections
5. Status LED's
6. Software configuration settings
7. Connecting to the Business Server

Communication

Communication
Communication between the card reader and the IP
Controller Board
The communication between one of the supported card reader and
the IP Controller board is done by a protocol (a definition of
communication codes or language by which they can communicate).
Many manufacturers of readers have defined their own
communication protocol.
To comply to those protocols the IP reader software is adapted to
the applied protocol.
Communication between the server and the IP
Controller Board
Inepro has defined it’s own protocol for communication between the
IP controller board and the server.
To ensure the security of the card data an AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) encryption is applied to the data.
Encryption
The encryption key is renewed with every connection so it is not
possible for another device than the IP controller board to present
card data to the server. With every connection the server will send a
new AES key to the IP controller board. This encryption key is
received by the IP controller board and used to encrypt the data
before it is transmitted to the server.
A time-out for the data to arrive at the server is set at 10 seconds. If
the server does not respond within this time, the protocol will be
cancelled and the data will not be processed.
Alternative server
It is possible to set up a second server for the IP reader. This allows
the IP reader to look for an alternative server if the main server does
not respond.

Network Connections
Part

12 - IP Reader
Network Connections
Switch
On the IP controller board there are two network connectors. The IP
controller board can be used as a switch because of the Ethernet
switch chip on board and can be placed between a wall outlet and an
existing Ethernet device (like a printer or multifunctional device).
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
If the power supply adapter is used both connectors can be used
normally to connect to the wall outlet and the Ethernet device. But
the IP controller board can also be supplied with energy by a Power
over Ethernet switch. In this case the connection from the PoE switch
must be made to the "PoE" Ethernet connector, the Ethernet device
can be connected to the "no PoE" connector.
If the cables are connected falsely (ie. the PoE switch is
connected to the "no PoE" Ethernet connector), nothing will be
damaged. In that case the IP controller won't have energy and will
not operate. Switching the Ethernet cable to the "PoE" connector will
activate the IP controller board.
