Wireless POS Terminal Interface
Installing Extended Basic Coverage Area
Use this procedure for installing the extended basic coverage wireless hardware.
Step-by-Step
To install the extended basic coverage area:
1.Ensure the host terminal is properly configured and connected for use as a standard POS terminal.
See the manual provided with the host POS terminal.
2.If this is a system upgrade from the basic system, discard the single unit adapter cable. Insert one end of the PIN pad cable, Hypercom P/N 810022-001, into the PIN pad port of the host POS terminal. Insert the other end of the PIN pad cable into the connector marked To Terminal on the terminal transceiver interface.
3.Mount the two terminal transceivers, Hypercom P/N 020123-002, to a vertical surface. Place them as high as possible in an area that has the best visibility from the areas where the peripheral devices are used. Separate the transceivers as far as possible from each other while still providing the required coverage. You may mount the transceivers by using the metal hook or the rubber suction cups provided. An alternate method is to remove the metal hook and the rubber suction cups, replacing them with double-sided tape. The terminal transceivers must not be mounted on or next to metal objects.
4.Insert the male connector of the 12-foot cable from the terminal transceivers into the female connectors marked Terminal Transceiver 1 or Terminal Transceiver 2 on the terminal transceiver interface.
If the 12-foot cable is not long enough, it may be extended up to 1000 feet by using any four- conductor, one-to-one standard telephone extender cable available at various electronic appliance retail outlets.
You can also have the premises wired for extending the cables. Firms that install telephone cabling in buildings can perform this task because the wiring is identical to a two-circuit telephone system.
WARNING
To avoid damaging the terminal transceiver unit, do not insert the cable connectors from the single unit adapter or the terminal transceiver into any receptacle designated for use with the premises telephone system.
