Intermec 6620 manual Docks, Connections

Introduction SECTION 1

Docks

Two basic dock accessories are used for the 6620 Computer: the single dock and the vehicle dock. Custom versions of these docks may be created for customer requirements. See the 6620 Computer User’s Guide for meanings to the dock LED indicators.

Connections

The following connections are on the docks:

Parallel

The LPT1 Printer Port is an enhanced parallel port with a 25-pin (DB-25) female, D-Sub for connecting parallel de- vices such as a printer or storage device to the computer.

Serial Port

A 9-pin D-sub connector (COM1), located behind the flap on the upper end of the computer, supports RS-232 signals for two-way communication between peripheral devices and is capable of supporting a 5-volt bar code scanner. When docked, these computer signals are carried on the docking connector and are accessed through the RS-232 port on the dock.

Mouse

A6-pin mini-DIN connector connects a PS/2 standard exter- nal mouse to the computer.

Video

(Single docks only — not present on the vehicle dock) A VGA connector provides RGB (red, green, blue), horizontal and vertical synchronous signals to a remote VGA monitor.

Network

(Single docks only — not present on the vehicle dock) Al- though all 6620 Computers have Ethernet capability, the connection is physically located on the single dock.
