INSTALLATION 2
Small Synchronized Network When building a small local Lonworks network (less than 10 scanners), the DS8100A master
reader must be connected to a local host computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a cable
connected to the 26-pin D-sub male connector.
The master reader connects to the first slave reader of the system through the local
Lonworks 17-pin female connector. The local Lonworks 17-pin male connector must be
properly terminated by inserting the BTK-8102 Lonworks terminator or be powered by the
CAB-860X cable.
The slave readers are connected together through the local Lonworks connectors. Only the
17-pin female connector of the last slave reader must be terminated by the BTK-8100 bus
return or be powered by the CAB-830X cable.
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.
