Install necessary software
Before you start using the Wi-Fi scanner, you are recommended to install following software into your host machine. You can
download the software for free on www.sick.com.
SICK WaveCentre
The WaveCentre is a useful Windows-based wireless management utility together with an IP virtual COM software driver.
Once you installed WaveCentre into your host machine, it can create a virtual COM port for each connected Wi-Fi scanner
corresponding to its IP address. Then the Wi-Fi scanner will work as a local serial device of the remote host.
SICK IDM Wi-Fi Set Up Tool
By using the SICK IDM Wi-Fi Set Up Tool, you can create Wi-Fi profiles, change configurations and upgrade firmware with
ease. Please note that you have to install the USB virtual COM software driver before using the Set Up Tool.
To connect the scanner to the set up tool you have to set it into host link mode. This can be done via the scanner display
under “Setup” and then “Advanced”. You then need to place the scanner on the cradle and go to section upload after
opening the set up tool software.
