6 FIELDBUS CONNECTIONS
6.1 ETHERNET INTERFACE
This connector is only available for DS8100A Ethernet models and allows the Ethernet
connection between the host and the reader.

This interface and the connector pinout (see the following table) are IEEE 802.3 10 BaseT
and IEEE 802.3u 100 Base Tx compliant.

In order to meet EMC requirements use Ethernet shielded cable.
The Ethernet interface can be used for TCP/IP communication with a remote or local host
computer by connecting the scanner to either a LAN or directly to a host PC. There is no
need to use a crossover adapter since the scanner incorporates an auto-cross function.
The following is an example of a connection to a LAN using a CAB-ETH-M0x straight
through cable:
