Installing the Cisco Reader Module
Installing the Cisco Reader Module is similar to installing the Gateway, except for the following:
• There are no Ethernet ports. The Cisco Reader Module is not directly connected to the IP network,
and is not directly configured.
• The Cisco Reader Module does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). The device is connected to
a DC power source.
• The Cisco Reader Module must be terminated if it is the last device in a CAN wiring bus. See the
“CAN Bus Connections for Optional Modules” section on page 1-7 for more information.
Before You Begin
Before you install a Cisco Reader Module, verify the following:
• Verify that the module has access to a power source. See the “Power Options and Requirements”
section on page 1-12 for more information.
• Verify that you have the necessary mounting brackets or other hardware. See the “Mounting a
Gateway or Optional Module” section on page 1-14.

To install the Cisco Reader Module, perform the following procedure:
Step 1 Mount the module to a wall. See the “Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module” section on page 1-14
for more information.
Step 2 Connect the module to the DC power source:
a. Insert a two-pin connector plug into the DC power port (Figure 3-5)
b. Connect the Voltage In (VIN) and ground (GND) wires.
