INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of
the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin
socket on the scanner. There will be
an audible click when the connector
lock engages.
3. Connect the 9-pin D-type connector
of the communication cable to the
proper COM port of the host device.
4. Plug the power supply into the power
jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC input
requirements of the power
supply to verify the voltage
matches the AC outlet.
The outlet must be located
near the equipment and be
easily accessible.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer.
6. The scanner will start to initialize. All LEDs (yellow, white, and blue) will light
for approximately two seconds then start to alternately flash. When the
scanner has finished initializing the LEDs will stop flashing and the unit will
beep three times indicating that the scanner is ready for use.
7. Turn on the host device.
Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee
that scanned information will be communicated properly to the host
system. The scanner is shipped from the factory configured with default
settings. Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration
Guide (MLPN 00-02544) or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on
changing the scanner’s configuration. In addition, please check that the
scanner and host system are using the same communication protocol.
See power source caution statement located on page 6 of this manual.
