The M6 and Astra-EX Reader Listing Page appears, as shown in the Figure 12.
Identify Reader
In the last column of the list of readers found there is a button labelled IdentifyReader.
When clicked this will cause the corresponding readerʼs LED to flash between green and
red. This provides visual confirmation of the named reader.
Note
M6 and Astra-EX readers must be using firmware version 4.17 or later to support
this functionality.
Note
By default Identify Reader will not work with Windows Internet Explorer (IE). IE by
default blocks URLs with username and passwords. In order to compromise that
setting, Windows provides a Fix It solution which is provided here.
