NOTE
In a Master/Slave layout with a great number of Slaves, a Power
Supply Unit can be connected to the scanners and the C-BOX 150
can accept the scanner power by setting the Power Source Jumper
in the right position. See paragraph 2.4.6

conditions:
•
the Master/Slave network is composed of one master and up to 9
Slaves maximum
•
