Step 2: Switch on power supply
Disconnect the power supply of the optical reader. The optical reader is supplied with power
either via a connected CM cable or via the Power IO RS232 cable or PoE cable. You can find
more detailed information on the connection in the section "Connecting the reader
(Page 117)".

indicated by the power LED flashing and lasts from a few seconds to 2 minutes. Once the test
is completed, the power LED lights up in constant green and the optical reader is ready.
