Reader debug

This page instructs you how to connect your reader device to our network for debugging purposes.

Download Putty (Windows)

Putty is a telnet/ssh client software capable of tunneling tcp connections to different networks.

Download and install putty-0.66-installer.exe

Connect reader

Connect your reader to the same computer or network where you start Putty.

Power up your reader.

At next steps we assume that your reader IP address is: 10.1.1.3

Testing reader connection

Before proceeding test that your reader answers through network connection.

Run ping test using Windows Command Prompt or Power Shell.

C:\Users\user>ping 10.1.1.3
Pinging 10.1.1.3 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.1.1.3: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=127
Reply from 10.1.1.3: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=127
