TCP/IP PORT POWER PORT
SERIAL PORT
USB PORT
Wiring for Power Supply
Connection points for power and communication are available on top of the terminals.
Refer to the following diagrams for the terminals you require.
USB PORT
Linking with USB flash disk for remote data transfer.
TCP/IP PORT
Connect with CAT 5 cable for LAN connection, one end to this port
and another end to the computer’s TCP/IP Port.
TCP/IP for Single Connection – Linking the terminal to a single computer
using TCP/IP requires Ethernet 10/100Base-T Crossover Cable. The cable can be
used to cascade hubs or to connect Ethernet stations back-to-back without a
hub. It works with both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
TCP/IP for Network Connection – Linking
the terminals to multiple computers using TCP/IP
requires Ethernet 10/100Base-T Straight Thru Ca-
ble or “whips”. The cable works with both 10Base-
T and 100Base-TX, connecting a network interface
card to a hub or network outlet.
POWER SUPPLY PORT
Insert the Power Adapter point to this port for power.

10
RS232/RS485/WIEGAND CONNECTION PORT
RS232 – Connection to a computer using RS232 cable.
RS485 Single Connection - Connection to a single computer using RS485 wire.
RS485 Network Connection - Connection to multiple computers using Daisy Chain connec-
tion.
Wiegand Output – Connecting with third party connector or terminal(s).
