IP address.
The IP address can either be set manually and permanently via BootP/webConfig tool or assigned dynam
-
ically via a DHCP server.

4.5.3 Ethernet – linear topology
The innovative further development of the BCL 358
i
with integrated switch functionality offers the option
of connecting multiple bar code readers of type BCL 358
i
to one another without direct connection to a
switch. In addition to the classic "star topology", a "linear topology" is thus also possible.
NOTE
The
BCL 358
i
communicates via the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP).
CIP Safety, CIP Sync and CIP Motion are not supported by the
BCL 358
i
.
NOTE
