Setup the reader for Windows Server

with No Comments

To make it simple, you just connects your PC (set the IP address of it to 192.168.1.1) and the reader, either directly or through a switch.

Then install the IIS with PHP support (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh994592(v=ws.11).aspx).

Create \avea.php as follows:

<?php
echo “<html><body><AVEA>”;
echo “DHCP=0”; // disable DHCP
echo “IP=192.168.002.105”; // whatever IP you want
echo “NM=255.255.2555.000”; // whatever netmask
echo “GW=192.168.002.001”; // whatever gateway
echo “WS=192.168.002.222”; // whatever web server
echo “BEEP=1”; // make a beep sound to indicate the setup is success
echo “</AVEA></body><html>”;
?>

After the reader make a beep sound, power off the reader and reset the PC to original IP settings. Power up the reader again and it will talk to the web server (i.e. 192.168.2.222).
