MS-880 and MS-890 Ethernet: Connect to IP, but communication errors

[Omron Forums Support]

If you are able to connect to the scanner's IP address, but the commands are not accepted, and there is faulty communications, the Ethernet card may need to be programmed. The Ethernet card installed in the MS-880/890 is a serial to Ethernet gateway. The Serial side of the card connects to the RS-232 Host port of the scanner. For proper communications, the RS-232 Host port of the scanner must match the RS-232 port of the Ethernet card. This procedure will explain how to do this. Connect ESP to the MS-880 via serial, and receive the scanner settings. Under the communications tab of the Parameters view, record the Host Port settings for Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity and Stop bits. Now, enter the embedded HTTP configuration of the Ethernet card 1. Open a web browser and enter the card’s IP address in the URL window. 2. When the card prompts you to log in, enter the following: - User Name is root - The root default password is dbps Change the Serial port settings of the card: 1. Click on the Serial Port link on the left. 2. Set the settings to match the port settings you recorded earlier. 3. Click Apply, and wait for the card to reboot (up to 20 seconds)
