Connecting the RS-232 Communication Line
The RS-232 data transmission line is used for point-to-point communication with a
local PC. This connection can be used during the 95 Series RFID System configuration
or troubleshooting. The RS-232 connector and jumper are located on the Motherboard
MBD95. The MBD95 is the bottom board of the Reader Module Assembly.
Note For the RS-232 line, use specially designed cables only
, such as, BELDEN type 8102,
or a standard PC cable used for RS-232 interconnections. For more information, see
the 95 Series RFID System Technical Guide.
