Use the included Industrial Mini-IO cable to connect the IO Connection Box to the RFID reader. If the Power LED of the IO Connection Box does not light up, you need to enable the Mini-IO port through the RFID reader’s web user interface.



Configuration through the user interface 


  1. Log in to the RFID reader's web interface. You will need the credentials from the reader's type label. 
  2. Select Hardware from the main menu and GPIO under it. Set the GPIO port to "GPIO-mode". This turns on the power to the Mini-IO port 
  3. GPIO lines 1 and 2 are used as inputs and lines 3 and 4 are used as outputs. GPIO Pins sate allows you to test the operation of the outputs. 



Enable/disable relay outputs 



The IO box has two SPDT (single pole double throw) relay outputs that can be switched on/off from the DIP switch on the back of the box. Relays are connected to GPIO lines 3 and 4. Please note that relay control will consume 400mW per relay, which is away from the current/power usable from the 5VDC / 24VDC output (max 2W).
