Each DataMan 150 reader must be individually configured for multi-port operation, and you must perform this
configuration using a USB connection.
l
If
any
reader in the multi-port chain loses power or becomes disconnected, then no data from any other reader
will be transmitted.
l
If a DataMan 150 is transmitting its own read result, it will buffer any data received from another reader until it has
finished its own data transmission. If a DataMan 150 is transmitting another reader’s data, it will buffer its own
data if it receives a trigger signal while it is processing the other reader’s data.
l
If you use a single power supply for multiple readers, make sure that the power supply can provide enough
power for all of the readers.
