2.4 USB Only mode – Function and specification
The iPOINT Device can be used with a single connection over the Mini USB port.
During this operation, 5V is supplied and powers the device.
This can be a fast way to access the device in the field for configuration purposes.
The device can also be fully functional in USB mode, using a low-power, short range LF driver

2.5 Communication Interface Priorities
The priorities for the wired connections will be:
1.
USB
: Highest priority. A connection over USB will terminate all other existing connections
2.
Ethernet
: A connection via Ethernet (PoE interface) will terminate all serial connections
3.
Serial
: RS422 Serial connections
When a higher priority connection is disconnected, bus access is released to the next priority connection.
2.6 Lid Open Detection
There is a feature in the iPOINT where automatic detection of the housing being opened can be communicated to
the Host system. This can be used as a safety feature or as a tamper alert.
