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.

Note: WebLink is the preferred
user interface for MicroHAWK ID readers, but Omron Microscan’s ESP
Software can also be used for configuration and testing. ESP is
particularly useful in the following circumstances:
Device discovery to find the reader
IP address;
If you only have an RS-232 (serial)
connection;
Updating MicroHAWK ID firmware;
Using the Configuration Database;
Creating barcodes for reader configuration;
Generating Symbol Quality reports.
