INSTALLATION

Small Synchronized Network

When building a small local Lonworks network (less than 10 scanners), the DS6400 master

reader must be connected to a local host computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a

CAB-60XX cable connected to the 25-pin or 26-pin D-sub male connector.

The master reader connects to the first slave reader of the system through the local

Lonworks 9-pin female connector. For Master/Slave models, the local Lonworks 9-pin male

connector must be properly terminated by inserting the BTK-6000 Lonworks terminator.

Fieldbus models are provided with an internal Lonworks terminator.

The slave readers are connected together through the local Lonworks connectors. Only the

9-pin female connector of the last slave reader must be terminated by the BTK-6000

terminator.

The presence sensor is connected and powered through the C-BOX 100 by the scanner and

is unique to the system. There is only a single reading phase and a single message from the

master reader to the Local Host. The On-Line operating mode is used for this layout.
