An alternative Pass-Through layout allows the more efficient ID-NET™ network to be used. 
This  layout is  really  an  ID-NET  Master/Slave  Multidata  layout  which  also  allows  each 
scanner (Master and Slaves) to  accept input  on the Auxiliary interface,  for example to 
connect a device such as a hand-held reader for manual code reading capability. 
Each  DS2400N  transmits  its  own  messages  plus  any  messages  received  by  its  Auxiliary 
interface onto the ID-NET™ interface. The Master passes all messages to the Host. 
When  On-Line  Operating  mode  is  used,  the  scanner  is  activated  by  an  External  Trigger 
(photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.
