Connecting the Reader to Another Device

You can physically connect the reader to another device using one of the three
methods described next.
Note: If you have a JANUS 2010 with an RF back, you do not physically connect the
reader to another device. The reader communicates through radio signals instead of a
physical connection.
Communications Dock Place the reader in a communications dock and connect
one or two devices to the dock's serial ports. The dock's network port is a
25-pin DTE connector and the auxiliary port is a 25-pin DCE connector.
Depending on how you set the dock's DIP switches, the reader communicates
with both ports or the ports communicate with each other.
If you plan to run Interlnk with the reader connected to a host computer
through the communications dock, you must connect the dock to the host
computer with a 3-wire (2, 3, and 7) cable for Interlnk to operate properly.
If the reader will communicate through only one port (network or auxiliary)
on the reader communications dock, you must select that port with the
Communications Dock Port command. For help, see "Communications Dock
Port" in Chapter 12 or the JANUS 2010 Communications Dock Quick Reference
Guide.
