Internal Network Configurations
Product Reference Guide 157
Internal Network Configurations
Internal Network configurations (also called Master/Slave configurations), are
designed to collect data from several devices connected together in an ID-NET™
network and send data output to the Host system.
DL.CODE has a Net Autoset feature for the Internal ID-NET Network which
au
tomatically recognizes and assigns addresses to all connected Slave readers.
In order to automatically recognize the ID-NET Slaves, all devices must be
ph
ysically installed and electrically connected (including ID-NET network wiring).
The general procedure (also detailed in the following paragraphs) is to:
1. Mount all the readers mech
anically (refer to "Mechanical Dimensions" on
page 54 and "Mounting
And Positioning Matrix 300N" on page 57) and
electrically (refer to "I
D-NET Interface" on page 67) with factory default set-
tings (Layout Type = Alone, Internal Network Role = Slave).
In order to automatically recognize the ID-NET Slaves, all devices must be
ph
ysically installed and electrically connected (including ID-NET network
wiring). Run DL.CODE and verify that all the devices are discovered and
shown in the device list area.
2. Connect to the designated Master device in DL.CODE and open the Setup
Internal Network Configuration. You will be prompted to change the device
to Master. Click OK. The Slave units will automatically be recognized. See
"M
aster Configuration" on page 158.
3. Depending on the application, select Mu
ltidata, Synchronized Phase Mode
or Synchronized PackTrack Configuration.
4. Connect to each Slave reader via Ethernet and set the Slave specific param-
eters depending on the application type. Save each Slave specific configura-
tion. See "M
ultidata ID-NET Network Configurations" on page 160 or
"Sync
hronized ID-NET Network Configurations" on page 165.
5. For Synchronized networks Verify/Test network performance. See "Ve
rify
Master/Slave Synchronized Configu
ration" on page 169.
6. Perform the Backup cu
rrent Internal Network configurations procedure. See
"Ba
ckup" on page 173.
