4.10 Configuration switch and 9-pin internal connector
The 9-pin internal connector may have two different functions according to the
position of the configuration switch.

4.10.1 Switch position "NORMAL OPERATION" (default):
In this position, the C-BOX 300 is in the normal operating mode. It communicates with
the scanner through the 9-pin internal connector and the scanner auxiliary serial
interface. The internal connector pinout is illustrated in the following table:
4.10.2 Switch position "CONFIGURATION":
When the switch is in this position, the C-BOX 300 is in configuration mode. The
communication with the scanner is interrupted and pins 2 and 3 are no longer
dedicated to the scanner auxiliary interface but to the C-BOX 300 configuration (see
table below). The system enters configuration mode and waits to be configured
through VisoSetup.
Once the C-BOX 300 configuration is completed, it is necessary to replace the switch
in the Normal Operation position. At the end of the reboot phase, the C-BOX 300 is
ready to operate with the new configuration.
