Page 8: Introduction
Reader(s) interface to Smarteye Netx Control Units through the reader port(s). The reader senses a pattern of coded bars in the Smarteye label. As a label passes in front of a reader, the coded information is passed along to the Smarteye Netx Control Unit. The Smarteye Netx Control Unit then deciphers the coded information and makes the information available to the control system(s). -

Page 10: Power/Wiring For Power Over Ethernet 802.3Af (48V) - S-Netx And T-Netx Only
Diagrams of the Ethernet connection can be found in the appendix. The serial control port connector for an S-netx is a cage clamp type and is located at the bottom of the CPU circuit card. The T-netx and Multi-netx use a spring clamp connector for the serial control port that protrudes through the bottom of the case. -
Page 11: Reader Wiring And Mounting
Belden 9773 (3 shielded pairs, 18 gauge) is recommended for connecting the network control unit to the remote junction box. For the S-netx, a remotely mounted reader will also need the four-hole reader cable grommet replaced with a single-hole grommet, which is shipped with each unit. -

All Smarteye Netx Control Units have two serial ports, a network port, and one to eight reader ports. The two serial ports are labeled “Auxiliary’ and “Control”. The auxiliary port is used for monitoring, configuration and optionally a Bluetooth data access port. -
Page 24: Software Configuration Using The Network Port
Ethernet crossover cable. The first item that has to be configured on the Smarteye Netx Control Unit is the IP address. The IP address must be set first in order to access the unit over the network. Unless provided with specific network IP addresses from the customer, Smarteye network readers are shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.22.243 and DHCP turned off. -
Page 25: Pre-Assignment Of Ip Address
8.1.2 DHCP Automatic Assignment of IP address If the Smarteye Netx Control Unit is configured to use DHCP and a DHCP server is available on the network, the unit will automatically be assigned an IP address. If a DHCP server cannot be found then the unit will use the default IP of 192.168.22.243. - Page 26 Once the units have been connected to the network, the configuration can begin. The Smarteye Netx Setup Utility program can be run directly off the provided CD or copied onto and run from a computer that is connected to the same network as the Netx control unit(s).
- Page 27 5. Then click the “Set IP Address” button to complete the assignment. In the example illustrated above, a Smarteye Netx Control unit with MAC address 0050C22C21CF is assigned an IP address of 192.168.22.75 with a mask of 255.255.255.0 and no default gateway.

Page 54: Auxiliary Port Operation
There are two ASCII message protocols supported by the Smarteye Netx Control Unit. The first is the original Smarteye ASCII protocol that will be referred to as the Classic protocol and the second as the Full ASCII protocol. The Classic protocol is identical to the protocol used on the earlier Smarteye SEA-8 and Twin units. - Page 55 SMARTEYE Netx Control Unit User Manual Page 48 Zzz is the checksum field where zz is two ASCII lower case letters representing the checksum byte. The checksum byte is obtained as the exclusive-or of all the bytes in the message string up to and including the checksum field indicator, 'Z'.
