“About the GPIO Interfaces” on page 84.
DC power Connects the reader to a 12 volt DC power source.

Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTx port that connects the reader to
your Ethernet network. The reader auto-negotiates with
the server to set the best data rate. This port uses MDI/
MDI-X auto-switching so you can connect either a
standard Ethernet cable or a crossover cable.
The Ethernet port also supports POE. To use POE you
need an 802.3at compliant power converter. For more
information, contact your sales representative.
