Connecting Two or More Savi Fixed Readers
If you are connecting several Savi fixed readers in a daisy chain
configuration, use a standard Savi-provided network cable to connect each
reader, as shown in Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4 Savi fixed readers in daisy chain configuration
To connect the multiple Savi fixed readers:
1. If you are installing the Savi fixed reader in an outdoor location, slide
heat shrink tubing onto the network cables before connecting the cables
to the reader.
For detailed instructions regarding application of the heat shrink tubing,
follow the procedures in Appendix B.
2. Connect the first cable’s female connector (cable 1 in Figure 2-4) to
the NETWORK IN port on the Savi fixed reader.
The other end of this cable connection connects to the host computer.
3. Using a second, unconnected cable (cable 2 in Figure 2-4), plug the
cable’s male connector into the NETWORK OUT port on the
Savi fixed reader.
4. Connect the female connector end of the second network cable
(cable 2 in Figure 2-4) to the next reader’s NETWORK IN port.
