INSTALLATION
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the male, 10-pin RJ45 end
of the PowerLink cable into the
10-pin socket on the MS5145.
3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the
PowerLink cable to the appropriate
communication port on the host
device.
4. Plug the external power supply into the
power jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC input requirements
of the power supply to make sure
the voltage matches the AC
outlet. The outlet must be
located near the equipment.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer.
6. Turn on the host system.
Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee that
scanned information will appear at the PC. A software driver and correct
configuration settings are also required for proper communications to
occur.
Powering the MS5145 directly from the host device can sometimes cause
interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all
computers supply the same current. For this reason, using an external
power supply is recommended. For additional information, contact a
customer service representative.
All MS5145-00 scanners leave the factory with the Laser Emulation Mode
enabled. If recall defaults is scanned while re-configuring the scanner the
Laser Emulation Mode will no longer be enabled. Refer to the MS5145-00
Laser Emulation Mode section of the MetroSelect Single-Line
Configuration Guide for information on enabling the Laser Emulation
Mode.
