Configuring rf IDEAS badge readers

  1. From your computer, run the rf IDEAS PCProxConfig application.
    Note: You can also use the PCProxConfig application to configure the badge bit length. To connect to the rf IDEAS device, use its IP address, followed by the appropriate port number. Use port number 2000 for serial badge readers, or port number 2001 for USB badge readers.
  2. Connect to the IP address of rf IDEAS Ethernet 241.
  3. Click the Data Format tab.
  4. Set the number of bits used for the badge.
Notes:
  • To show the badge number, use a telnet protocol using the IP address of the rf IDEAS device, and then scan the badge.
  • To check the configuration of the rf IDEAS device, use a telnet protocol using its IP address, followed by the default telnet port number 23. This process lets you check the values for the data_serv_addr, data_serv_port, and data_str. The format must match your load balancer URL and correct port (9780).
