2OVERVIEW
2.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The purpose of Ethernet Reader is to handle user authentication and authorization to the device using card.
User can use also the PIN authorization (using the MFD integrated panel). The Device Server has to be confi-
gured properly.
Picture 1 - System Overview
Only selected card readers are supported by Ethernet Reader.
The Ethernet Reader is displayed on the Picture 2.

Picture 2 - Ethernet Reader
The Ethernet Reader is equipped with a 2-ports network switch and so it is not necessary to provide another
Ethernet socket for connection - the copier or printer can be connected via the terminal. It features a micro-
computer, flash ROM, network interface and a card reader.
Terminal is powered by external power supply that is also included in installation package.
Picture 3 - Interface of Ethernet Reader
The emergency button is used for reset the terminal into default settings.

3TERMINAL CONFIGURATI ON
Ethernet Reader requires TCP/IP connection to the YSoft SafeQ server. Ethernet Reader has own IP and MAC
address.
There is special tool for configuration of Ethernet Reader SafeQ Terminal Configuration utils see Picture 4.
Note: This util applies to Ethernet Reader (based on YSoft SafeQ® Terminal UltraLight) with firmware version
1.2 and newer. There is another tool for older firmware version.
Picture 4 - SafeQ Terminal Configuration util
When you start this tool and press on Scan button, the tool discovers all the readers in the same network (in-
dependently on the network settings), see Picture 5. You can change settings for the particular reader in the list
and using Save button the configuration is applied. Upon successful configuration change the terminal will be
rebooted.

Picture 5 - Ethernet Reader configuration
There is a default network configuration used for Ethernet Reader:
DHCP=0
IP=192.168.0.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.254
DNS=192.168.0.254
SERVERIP=192.168.0.254:5011
SERVERUPD=192.168.0.254:4096
The SERVERIP corresponds to the IP address and port of the Y
used for card authentication.
The SERVERUDP corresponds to the SafeQ server and serves for firmware updates.
Emergency button is the way how to reset the terminal into default settings if anything goes wrong with the
configuration. Also it is possible to do some other actions such as force firmware update.
The correct procedure of using the emergency button is the following:
Unplug the reader power cable
Use a paper clip or a tiny screwdriver to push the emergency button. Hold the button pressed.
Plug the terminal power back.
The terminal now starts with short series of beeps with a longer pause between them. The action is se-
lected by releasing the button in the pause. Once the beep count reaches selectable maximum it starts
over again from 1. To cancel any selection unplug the power cable and release the button.
1 beep - do a set default configuration
2 beeps - do the firmware emergency update
3 beeps - do the normal firmware update
4 beeps - do the emergency reload - reset configuration to default and start emergency update

5 beeps - set network configuration to use DHCP server
After the action is selected it is processed and the reader is rebooted after that
It is possible to enter emergency button menu by holding the button for more than 5 seconds when Ethernet
Reader firmware has booted and the terminal is in default "Place card" state.
