  • Page 96: On-Board Ethernet Interface

    The on-board Ethernet Interface can be used for TCP/IP communication with a remote or local host computer by connecting the reader to either a LAN or directly to a host PC. There is no need to use a crossover adapter since Matrix 320 incorporates an auto-cross function.

  • Page 97: Typical Layouts

    CHAPTER 5 TYPICAL LAYOUTS The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. However, they also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout. All software configurations are made through DL.CODE which connects to the reader through the on-board Ethernet interface.

  • Page 98: Ethernet Connection

    The Ethernet connection is possible in two different layouts. In a Point-to-Point layout the reader is connected to a local host by using a CAB-ETH-X- M0x cable. There is no need to use a crossover adapter since Matrix 320 incorporates an autocross function.
