14.1.1 Ethernet Section
The Ethernet connection is established by linking the reader into an existing network or by directly connecting the
reader and the control computer. To directly connect the reader to the PC, a cross-link cable is required, unless the LAN
interface on the PC supports
auto-mdi-x
. Alternatively, it is possible to use two standard patch cables and a switch.
