IF2 Port Descriptions
Port Description
GPIO General purpose input/output (GPIO) port that
connects the IF2 to industrial controls such as relays or
indicators.
For more information on the IF2 GPIO interfaces, see
“About the GPIO Interfaces” on page 74.
DC power Connects the reader to a 12 volt DC power source.
COM1 Connects the IF2 to a desktop PC for configuration.
Use an RS-232 null modem cable (P/N 059167).
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 Intermec sales
representative.
