The table below gives the pinout of the CBX100/500 terminal block connectors. Use this
pinout when the DS8100A reader is connected by means of the CBX100/500:

Auxiliary Interface Reference
* Do not leave floating, see par. 3.2.2 for connection details.
Do not connect GND and SGND to different (external) ground references.
GND and SGND are internally connected through filtering circuitry which
can be permanently damaged if subjected to voltage drops over 0.8 Vdc.
DS8100A scanners do not support Host Interface Modules with the
CBX500. Use the CBX800 Gateway for Host Interface Applications,
(Fieldbus and non Fieldbus).
