THE LINK NETWORK GATEWAY
CONFIGURATIONS
All Network gateways include two radio modules operating at 433 MHz for communication with Omni-
ID’s View and Power
Tag families. Additionally, a Gateway can be configured from the factory with an optional RFID reader module capable of
reading any EPC Gen 2 compliant tag as well as the RFID component of the View and Power tags. This enables the device to
become the center of all tag communication with one simple interface and without the cost of additional equipment.
The specific products available are detailed in Table 3 below.

POWER
The system can operate from any combination of PoE (Power over Ethernet) or DC inputs, and will switch transparently
between them. The DC power input utilizes a 2.5 mm, center pin jack (CUI PJ-066B) which allows for a barrel style connector
for quick attachment or an optional locking ring for more secure connection.
•
Mating connector: 2.5 mm ID, 9.5 mm long barrel plug, center positive
•
Locking ring thread size: 5/16 - 32 UNEF 2B (e.g. Switchcraft 760K, 765K or equivalent)
The DC supply should be a limited energy source operating at 24V / 0.5A, such as SL Power Electronics model TE10A2403B01.
I/O PORT
The Gateway provides two general purpose inputs and one output, implemented with a TE 796866-6 connector. The pin
