DC Power Jack

Connect the power cable to this power jack; see Powering the Optimus 5900 RFID eBase Device on page 9-4.

USB Port

The USB port is full-speed (v1.1). Using the USB cable, you can connect the base to a USB- compliant device to facilitate USB communication to and from the terminal. USB communication occurs through Microsoft ActiveSync (v.4.1 or higher). For more information about ActiveSync setup, see ActiveSync Communication on page 7-1.

Serial Port

The serial port supports serial communication between the terminal and another device. Note that the connector is a DB9 Male connector, requiring a female connector on the serial cable. The following four signals are supported:

•Transmitted Data

•Received Data

•Request to Send

•Clear to Send

Note: ActiveSync is not supported over the serial port.

Ethernet Port

Using a standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable, you can connect the eBase to an Ethernet-compliant device to facilitate Ethernet communication to and from the terminal. This equipment is for indoor use only. The communication wiring is limited to the inside of a building.
