Question

How can a DataMan reader connect to a TCP/IP server?

Answer

The DataMan reader acts as a TCP/IP server, and clients can connect to it through a specified port. This functionality is always enabled and cannot be disabled.

If you need the opposite way, connecting from the reader as the client to a TCP/IP server, then this needs to be set.

  1. Go to Communication Settings in DataMan Setup Tool software and enter the IP address and port number of the TCP/IP server under the Network Client section. Please note that these values can be changed only while the Enabled checkbox is unticked.
