Networking the Reader

M6 and Astra-EX User Guide 36

Reader Discovery

You can find the available Readers on the network by using the Multicast DNS (mDNS)

protocol (http://multicastdns.org/) and Reader Listing.

Using mDNS

To find Readers on a network, you can use any client or client API that allows discovery of

services using mDNS (a part of the Zero Configuration Network Standard). One common

client implementing the Zero Configuration Network Standard is called Bonjour

developed by Apple. Bonjour works on networks without a DHCP server and is included

in the Apply Safari web browser (it must be selected during the Safari install).

After you have installed Safari the Bonjour icon appears under Bookmarks | Collections

You can select the Bonjour tool to discover other Readers available on the network.

Note

Each ThingMagic Reader in the Bonjour frame is referenced by the domain name

(ThingMagic) followed by the hostname (M6 or Astra-EX) and the last six

characters of the device's MAC address (such as 210027).

A device frame on the left side of the browser opens and lists the names of all

active Bonjour devices available.

1. Double-click on the name of the Reader that you want to access.

The Login dialog box for that specific Reader appears.

2. Enter the following:

User name: web

Password: radio

3. Click OK.

The Reader displays the Status page of the selected Reader.

The list of Bonjour devices displayed on the screen is refreshed periodically so that new

Bonjour-enabled devices appear as they come online.

Reader Listing

The Reader Listing Page allows you to find Readers including ThingMagic M6, Astra-EX,

Astra, and Mercury5, that run on the network. It uses the same Multicast DNS(mDNS)

protocol used by the Bonjour.
