Small Synchronized Network

When building a small local Lonworks network (less than 10 scanners), the DX6400 master
reader must be connected to a local host computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a CAB-
60XX cable connected to the 25-pin or 26-pin D-sub male connector.
The master reader connects to the first slave reader of the system through the local
Lonworks 9-pin female connector. For Master/Slave models, the local Lonworks 9-pin male
connector must be properly terminated by inserting the BTK-6000 Lonworks terminator.
Fieldbus models are provided with an internal Lonworks terminator.
The slave readers are connected together through the local Lonworks connectors. Only the
9-pin female connector of the last slave reader must be terminated by the BTK-6000
terminator.
The presence sensor is connected and powered through the C-BOX 100 by the scanner and
is unique to the system. There is only a single reading phase and a single message from the
master reader to the Local Host. The On-Line operating mode is used for this layout.
