CAUTION

When connected to a C-BOX 3x0 through the 25-pin connector, the

9-pin Auxiliary port connector on the Matrix reader cannot be used

for communication (i.e. configuration through VisiSet™). The Matrix

reader can only be configured through the 9-pin connector inside

the C-BOX 3x0 and the C-BOX 3x0 must first be configured. see

the following paragraphs for details.
