Veri-Series Setup Guide

7. [RS-485 network only]: Set up network using 9600 baud rate.

Only increase this data rate after the system is operating

properly at 9600.

8. [Ethernet network only]: Typically a star network topology is

used with a network switch or hub, but a bus topology may be

used. Be sure to connect all devices using straight-thru (as

apposed to cross-over) cables. The exception to this is when

connecting a single device directly to the computer Ethernet

adaptor.

9. [Ethernet network only]: Up to 254 readers can reside on a

single Ethernet bus, although repeaters may be required to

boost the signal over longer distances. The V-Station supports

10base-T Ethernet (10 Mbps)*. A 10 Mbps Ethernet network

supports distances up to 100 meters (328 ft.) between readers

(2,500m with repeaters). Bioscrypt recommends isolating your

network of readers from computers (other than the admin PC)

and other devices to maximize security. A firewall is highly

recommended if the network will include other devices or PCs.

For obvious reasons, it is not a good idea to expose your

network of readers to the outside world (i.e., the Internet).

*Ethernet communication is supported in firmware versions 7.10

and higher. VeriAdmin 5.10 or higher is required for administration

over Ethernet.
