Security

Before connecting the appliance to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds
to the voltage printed on the type plate of the adapter. If the mains voltage is different, consult
your supplier.

No guarantee can be given if safety regulations are not followed.

Always disconnect the power supply before handling anything inside the device.

This device is in conformity with the EMC directive and low-voltage directive.

CE Conformité Europeène (Conform European Norm)

End of life directives

Introduction

Introduction

In this manual you find the instructions to install and configure your
IP-reader. This manual is meant for all the Inepro IP-readers.
This manual, the IP reader hardware and software are subject to
change, make sure you have the latest version of this manual,
because the older versions may have become obsolete.

Function

The purpose of the IP reader is to read the unique ID contained in
the card that is presented to the reader and transfer this ID to a
server. In most cases this data will be the card serial number. To
facilitate this a variety of card reader software module have been
developed. Our configuration tool will enable you to change the
setting on the IP reader board.

Operating Procedures

Part

8 - Inepro IP Reader V2

Operating Procedures

The card reader is connected to the IP controller board by the card
reader cable. Using this cable the IP controller board
communicates with the card reader. When a card is presented to
the reader it will read the card’s data. The IP controller board
makes a request to the card reader for the data. The IP controller
board will then transfer this information to the server by means of
an Ethernet connection. The server will receive the card’s data and
returns an (error) code to the IP controller board. The IP controller
board will show this code through the LED's in the card reader’s
housing.

IV

Network Connections

Part

10 - Inepro IP Reader V2

Network Connections

Switch

On the IP controller board there are two network connectors. The
IP controller board can be used as a switch because of the
Ethernet switch chip on board and can be placed between a wall
outlet and an existing Ethernet device (like a printer or
multifunctional device).

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

If the power supply adapter is used both connectors can be used
normally to connect to the wall outlet and the Ethernet device. But
the IP controller board can also be supplied with energy by a Power
over Ethernet switch. In this case the connection from the PoE
switch must be made to the "PoE" Ethernet connector, the Ethernet
device can be connected to the "no PoE" connector.

If the cables are connected falsely (ie. the PoE switch is
connected to the "no PoE" Ethernet connector), nothing will be
damaged. In that case the IP controller won't have energy and will
not operate. Switching the Ethernet cable to the "PoE" connector
will activate the IP controller board.

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)

Part

14 - Inepro IP Reader V2

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)

Antenna Housing LED

Inside the card reader’s housing a LED is mounted which can be
used to let the user know that card data has been read and this
data is presented to the server. The LED will also be used to show
an error has occurred, by using different blink patterns.

Blink patterns

In case of an error situation the LED will blink with an irregular
pattern.
The number of times the LED blinks between the longer 'on' (or
'off') pulses is an indication for the error code.

Error Codes

Also the server can generate error codes. These error codes are
shown when the card lies on the card reader. This error code will
enable the user to communicate the type of error without the
necessity of a service engineer to be present at the reader’s site.

There are card readers that have a protocol installed where the controller board does
not have to establish an active connection with the card reader. The card reader itself
will generate a data string containing the card number. The IP controller board will
receive this data string and, after encryption, redirect this data to the server. This
situation can cause the CARD LED and the RS232 LED to behave differently.
