Add Devices
The MS-Connect 5100 supports up to 32 Microscan readers in a Multidrop network. After
all devices (readers) in the network have been added, you must assign a station number
(Multidrop address) to each.
Each reader must be assigned its own Multidrop address when it is added to the network.
