External Wedge Installation on PC or Mac
1.Unplug the keyboard cable from where it plugs into the back of the computer, and note its location. (Note: the PC's F30/1 Y cable is convertible from a 5 pin cable to a 6 pin minidin by simply switching the adapter from one side of the Y cable to another, so match your keyboard requirement. Be sure not to plug into the mouse port by mistake.
2.Plug the keyboard cable into the "Y" cable's round female DIN connector.
3.With the power OFF on the computer, Plug the "Y" cable's male DIN connector into the back of the PC where the keyboard previously plugged into. For the Mac, plug into any ADB port; but, preferably on the host.
4.Plug the modular telephone style jack at the Y end of the "Y" cable into the WDP Reader's "Y" cable port. If you have an Integrated Laser or Integrated CCD, the RJ45 telephone connector end of the "Y" cable will plug into the Integrated Laser or Integrated CCD's small black "coupling connector" instead.
5.If you have a decoder box, plug the wand, laser scanner, CCD touch scanner or bar code slot scanner into the WDP Reader's Wand port. (If you have a MagStripe slot scanner, see page 21 for its installation instructions.)
6Your computer, keyboard and reader should now be cabled as shown here:
Notice how the WDP Reader and wand holder are shown mounted on the side of the monitor for convenient access without clutter.
Laser and CCD scanners can also be mounted on the side of your monitor, computer or other surface using the laser scanner holder. Slot scanners can be permanently mounted to a desk, wall or other surface by using the threaded holes on the bottom. If have a Laser or CCD Scanner attached to a decoder box, you may want to change the decode light jumper. See page 37.
