The CAN bus must adhere to the following rules:

The maximum length for the CAN bus is 1320 feet (400 Metres).

The last device in a CAN bus must be terminated by setting the CAN terminator switch to ON.

The CAN terminator switch in included on the Reader, Input and Output modules only (the Gateway is always the first device in the CAN bus).

Set the terminator switch to OFF for all other modules in the CAN bus.

For the location of the CAN terminator on each device, see the physical port description for that device.

The Gateway and Reader modules are connected using the CAN1 interface. The CAN2 interface is not supported in this release.
