Description
スキャナ206は、コネクション404を通じて、イーサネット・インフラ402に接続される。コネクション404は、例えば有線または無線であることもある。例えば、コネクション404は、ケーブルが使えない場所で、壁を通して、あるいは遠距離にわたって、やり取りするために、無線であってもよい。本発明の様々な実施形態により、二次ネットワーク・ケーブル406が、例えば、NIC(Network Interface Card)カードおよびハブを介して、スキャナ206のそれぞれに接続される。例えば、二次ネットワーク・ケーブル406は、カテゴリ5(ISO(国際標準化機構)規格による)のケーブル(CAT−5ケーブル)であることもある。
