3. Setup the BioStar System older versions of BioStar. If you are using an older version of BioStar be sure to install the correct USB drivers.  Virtual USB Device: choose this option to search for virtual devices that you have added to a USB drive. 4. Click Next. 5. For USB or Virtual USB searches, skip to step 7. If you are searching for devices connected via LAN or serial ports, set advanced search criteria:  LAN: Select whether to search for devices using TCP or UDP protocols. When you select TCP, you can specify an IP address range, the type of device you are searching for (BioStation/D-Station/X-Station/BioStation T2/FaceStation: 1470, BioEntry Plus/BioEntry W/BioLite Net/ Xpass/Xpass Slim: 1471, or Custom: enter manually), and the port to search with. If you select UDP, you can search for devices only in the same subnet.  Serial: Specify a COM port (or select All port) and a baud rate. You can connect up to 31 devices per COM port via RS485. If the RS485 cable is too long, the signal may be weakened. In this case, you should install a terminating resistance at both ends of the bus by turning on the Dip Switch on your device for normal signal transmission. On the other hand, if the cable is too short, the resistance may interrupt signal transmission. Therefore, by considering the length of the cable and the signal status, select whether to turn on or off the terminating resistance switch. 6. Click Next. 7. When BioStar completes the search, you can specify network settings as described below. Click a device name in the list on the left and then configure the settings as required: Note: If you change the network settings for a device at this point, the device will be removed from the device list. To add the device in the following steps, you must search for the device again. You need not and should not add devices with server mode. The devices will connect to the server by themselves, and will be listed under the BioStar Server on the Device Tree dialog box. If you are trying to add devices with server mode, the process will fail.  DHCP or Static IP: If you choose to use the DHCP option, the device will automatically acquire network settings from the DHCP server. If you do not use DHCP, you must configure the network settings manually.  Direct connection: This is the default connection option. With this option, the BioStar client will connect directly to the device. If you choose this type of connection, the BioStar client must be running to retrieve the log records from the device. 40 Copyright ©2014, Suprema Inc. On the web: www.supremainc.com
