7.4 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 automatically
recognizes and assigns addresses to all connected Slave readers.
In order to automatically recognize the ID-NET Slaves, all devices must be physically
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 mechanically (refer to par. 3.2 and Error! Reference source not
found.) and electrically (refer to par. 4.3) with factory default settings (Layout Type =
Alone, Internal Network Role = Slave).
In order to automatically recognize the ID-NET Slaves, all devices must be physically
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 par. 7.4.1.
3. Depending on the application, select Multidata, Synchronized Phase Mode or
Synchronized PackTrack Configuration.
4. Connect to each Slave reader via Ethernet and set the Slave specific parameters
depending on the application type. Save each Slave specific configuration. See par. 7.4.2
or 7.4.3.
5. For Synchronized networks Verify/Test network performance. See par. 7.4.4.
6. Perform the Backup current Internal Network configurations procedure. See par.
7.5.1.
