  • Page 9: Rapid Configuration

    1 RAPID CONFIGURATION STEP 1 – CONNECTING THE SYSTEM To connect the system in a Stand Alone configuration, you need the hardware indicated in Figure 1. In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the RS232 auxiliary serial interface which is also used for reader configuration by running VisiSet™.

  • Page 10: Step 2 - Mounting And Positioning The System

    When connected to a C-BOX 3x0/4x0, Matrix-1000™ can only communicate through its Auxiliary Interface. The Matrix-1000™ 9-pin Auxiliary port connector cannot be used for communication (i.e. configuration through VisiSet™). To configure Matrix-1000™ through the 9- CAUTION pin connector inside the C-BOX 3x0/4x0, the C-BOX 3x0/4x0 must first be configured.
