  • If the reader fails to pair, check if the Firmware version of the DataMan 8000 and Base Station are the same using a USB cable to connect to the Base Station. If not, upgrade or downgrade the Base Station's firmware to match.

Next setup the Ethernet connection with Base Station using DataMan Setup Tool:
