Multidata ID-NET Network Configurations
The Multidata ID-NET network communications between Master and Slave are 
managed by the application job (configuration) using the pass-through feature. 
A pre-configured job is loaded with the correct pass-through settings for both 
the Master and Slaves when the Default Multidata Configuration is selected from 
the Internal Network Setting feature.
1. Complete the configuration of 
all the application parameters (including 
Image Settings) and save them to the Master with an application specific 
name.
Optionally, checking the Save on Sl
ave Device box can be helpful to save all 
the current individual Slave configurations with the new configuration 
name
. This does not clone any parameters. If not checked, Slave 
configurations will remain as 
Temp
 configurations and you will be warned 
that changes to the Master have not been saved to the Cluster.
For Multidata configurations, the option to Cl
one Master configuration on 
Slaves must not be checked.

The jobs must not be cloned because the Master and Slaves have different input/
output communication channels. The readers are also working independently 
from each other, often on separate stations with different code reading 
requirements, different operating modes, etc.
2. Connect to each Slave reader via Ethernet (see note below), and set all the 
c
onfiguration parameters of each Slave device.
