When used with CS Gold, the VRC2100 can use one IP address for
up to 10 VRC2100s in a daisy-chain configuration. The first
VRC2100 in the chain, or a single VRC2100 without a daisy-chain,
is the Master. It will be connected to an Ethernet port using a Cat-5
cable plugged into the Network port on the back of the VRC2100.
All other VRC2100s in the chain will be set to
Slave
. These
VRC2100s will not use a network connection. Instead, they will use
Cat-5 cables to connect the RS-422 multi-drop ports as shown
below:
Note:
Odyssey does not currently support device addressing; a unique IP
address is required for each reader.
