TYPICAL LAYOUTS 
 
 
The following figure shows the general system layout. 
 
 
Figure 38 – General System Layout 
 
 
The general system layout allows the CBX800 Gateway to connect any serial device (Hand-Held Reader, 6K, 
8KA Scanner, Matrix-2000, etc.), collect its information and send it to a Host over a serial or TCP/IP or Fieldbus 
interface. 
 
Generally the external system Host is connected to the CBX800 Host interface. The reading device connects to 
the 25-pin connector (Source). The reading device auxiliary interface signals are also available on the internal 
spring clamp connectors. 
 
The ID-NET interface allows any serial device to be connected to a Full-Speed ID-NET™ compatible network. 
 
The dotted lines in the figure refer to optional hardware configurations. 
 
A portable PC can be quickly connected to the CBX800 Auxiliary port through the internal 9-pin MUX/GWY 
connector for CBX800
 configuration. 
 
Likewise the portable PC can be quickly connected to the Source Auxiliary port through the internal 9-pin Source 
connector for reader
 configuration. 
 
 
After making system cabling and switch settings, switch ON the CBX800 power switch (see Figure 4). The Power 
LED turns on (blue) when the power connection has the correct polarity. The Power LED turns on (red) in case of 
wrong polarity. 
 
After CBX800 configuration and system functioning has been verified, close the CBX800 using the four cover 
screws.
