Connect to WebLink

MicroHAWK ID-20 and ID-30

When you double-click the WebLink desktop shortcut or enter the reader’s IP address directly in the address bar of your web browser, WebLink will load and start.

 

Type http://192.168.188.2 (the default IP address) in the web browser’s address bar. The WebLink session will begin shortly after you enter the reader’s IP address.

MicroHAWK ID-40

A slightly different method is required to connect to the MicroHAWK ID-40:

 

1. Configure reader hardware as required and open the web browser of your choice.

 

2. Type http://192.168.188.2 (the default IP address) in the web browser’s address bar.

 

3. Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center on your PC.

 

4. Click Local Area Connection 4. In the Local Area Connection 4 Status dialog, click Properties.

 

5. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties again. Set your PC to a 192.168.188.x address (192.168.188.5, for example).

 

6. Open ESP Software, connect to the MicroHAWK ID-40 via Ethernet TCP/IP, and click Search to find the reader. When the reader's name appears in the field below the Search and Send buttons, select it.

 

7. Set the ID-40’s IP address to match that of the host PC.

 

8. Click Send. The camera will reboot and ESP will search for the reader again. When the ID-40 is found, you can use it with WebLink.
