LAN (Local Area Network) Port
The connection to this port is provided through an RJ-45 jack.
The LAN port supports the following network topologies listed and described below.
• Ethernet (10Base-T)
• Power via AC Outlet
• Power via Power-over-Ethernet
• RS-485 (Serial/Cable)
Wired Ethernet: Power via AC Outlet
The LAN port can be used for an Ethernet data connection., either a 10-conductor RJ-45
plug or 8-conductor RJ-45 plug can be used. With this Ethernet installation the MK1000
receives power via the power supply plugged into an AC outlet.
Wired Ethernet: Power via Power-over-Ethernet
The MK1000 supports Power-over-Ethernet (Symbol Technologies' Bias-T functionality).
When an Ethernet (10Base-T) cable is connected to the LAN port, in addition to being the
conduit for data exchange, it can also be used as a conduit to provide power to the MK1000.
RS-485
RS-485 is sometimes termed the Multidrop LAN since it can connect several devices in a
LAN network environment. These devices are all connected to a single pair wire (i.e.,
transmit and receive share the same two wires).
When the LAN port is used as an RS-485 connection, only a 10-conductor RJ-45 plug can
be used.
