Connecting to the Reader

Service Information

To connect via host name:
1. Open a browser. Recommended browsers are IE6, IE7, IE8, or
Mozilla 3.
2. Enter the host name, provided on a label on the reader, in the
browser (e.g., http://fx7400cd3b0d) and press Enter. The User Login window appears and the reader is ready.
NOTE Connect the reader to a network that supports host
name registration and lookup to ensure the network can access the reader using the host name. For instance, some networks can register hostnames through DHCP. When first connecting to the reader, it is recommended to keep DHCP enabled in both the PC and in the reader, although it is not guaranteed that host name will work all the time.
As an alternative to using the host name on the reader label, construct it using the reader MAC address on the bottom of the reader. To do this, enter the prefix FX7400, followed by the last six characters of the MAC address. For example, for a MAC address of 0023683BA63A, use the prefix FX7400, followed by 3BA63A. Enter http://FX74003BA63A in the browser address bar to access the reader.
If you have a problem using the equipment, contact your facility’s technical or systems support. If there is a problem with the equipment, they will contact Zebra Support at:
