Ethernet – linear topology
The innovative further development of the BCL 558
i
with integrated switch functionality
offers the option of connecting multiple bar code readers of type BCL 558
i
to one another
without direct connection to a switch. In addition to the classic "star topology", a "linear
topology" is thus also possible.

Ethernet with linear topology
Each participant in this network requires its own unique IP address which is assigned to it
via the DHCP process. Alternatively, the address can be permanently assigned to it manu-
ally via BootP or webConfig tool.
The maximum length of a segment (connection from the hub to the last participant) is limited
to 100m.
Notice!
The BCL 558
i
does
not
support the DLR (Device Level Ring) ring structure determined by
the ODVA.
