1. What type of software do we need to collect the data on a PC?
To use the WEB08S, you need to setup a standard WEB SERVER with database. The WEB08S will post data to the server and the server will store data into the database. So, to collect the data on a PC, you just write a web page (html, etc) to pull out the data. Please see the sample code from p17 of http://avea.cc/spec/web08s-sp01.pdf.

2. How can we change WEB08S default ip address, the gateway and the HTTP server ip address including other details?
You need to setup a local server at IP 192.168.1.1 with apache and PHP. Then setup the \avea.php. Reset the web08s to default, then you can modify avea.php to setup the reader. After that the reader can be put into production site.

3. The device won't power on. I'm pretty sure im using the injector correctly.
Please check if you have inserted the jumpers for POE injector or not. See section 2.2 Page 6 of http://www.avea.cc/spec/web08s-sp01.pdf or 2.1.2 on page 3 http://www.avea.cc/spec/web05a.pdf.

4. Are you on 802.3af or 802.3at?
Currently our reader can only support power over ethernet cable by using the spares pairs. The standard POE ethernet switch will not work. Please see page 5 section 2.1.2 http://www.avea.cc/spec/web08s-sp01.pdf You may also use our POE-01 or POE-02 cable with the IP reader + ethernet switch + AC power. Please see http://avea.cc/spec/poe-02.pdf.

5. What are the differences between WEB05A and WEB08S?
Both are 125 kHz cloud based web reader with similar features. The main differences are the WEB08S have no display, no keypad and no local access table. Please see the web08s and web05a user manual from http://avea.cc/spec/web08s-sp01.pdf and http://avea.cc/spec/web05a-v2.0.pdf respectively. For details, please buy one and try. Thanks.
