4.1 Configuration by means of RogerVDM
RogerVDM software can be used for initial configuration of RFT1000 reader. Further configuration
including enrolment of users is performed by means of PR Master software.
4.1.1 Connection and communication parameters
In order to connect and configure RFT1000 reader it is necessary to know its communication
parameters. Factory default settings are as follows:
·IP address = 192.168.0.70
·Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
·Port = 13544
·Communication is encrypted with default (empty) password
It is assumed that mentioned above parameters will be changed in particular access control
installation, specifically IP address, port and communication password. These parameters can be
modified with RogerVDM software, which is available for download at www.roger.pl.
Note: In order to connect with reader in local area network (LAN), the computer with RogerVDM
software must be in the same subnet. In case of RFT1000 with default IP address, the IP address
of computer should be 192.168.0.xxx.
Procedure for establishing connection with factory new reader
1. Connect the reader to the network by means of Ethernet port.
2. Install and start RogerVDM software
3. In the top menu of RogerVDM select Device and then New
4. In the newly opened window (see fig.4) select RFT1000 v.1.x fv. 1.1 device and then
Ethernet communication channel (RFT1000 v.1.x fv.1.0 pertains to old version of
RFT1000)
5. IP address and port of RFT1000 reader should be automatically detected by RogerVDM software
if the reader and PC with RogerVDM are in the same subnet and communication between them
is not blocked. Default IP address of the reader is 192.168.0.70 and port is 13544, while
communication passwords is empty.
6. Select Connect button.
After establishing the connection it is possible to modify communication parameters both for
Ethernet and RS485 communication. For that purpose, select the option Configuration in the
top menu, in the area General settings (see fig. 5) enter your settings and then upload the
configuration to the reader by means of Send to device button.
