INSTALLATION
INTERFACE
FULL SPEED USB (INTEGRATED)
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for a Full Speed StratosE application. The scanner must
then be configured to match the host’s USB parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosE
will communicate properly with the host system.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x) and the MS2xxx
Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02034x).
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the USB interface cable (MLPN 57-57200X-n-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled,
Scanner USB to Host, on the bottom of the StratosE. Refer to the figure below.
3. Connect the other end of the USB interface cable to the appropriate USB port on the host device.
Before continuing verify that the USB interface cable is connected to the appropriate socket on the scanner. An
incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner.
Manufacturers Note:
Plugging the scanner into the USB port of the host device does not guarantee that scanned information will
appear at the host device. A software driver and correct configuration setting are also required for proper
communication to occur.
4. Plug the external power supply into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC Power In, on the bottom of the StratosE.
Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet.
The outlet should be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.
Metrologic recommends using a switched AC outlet. The switch should be located on the operator’s side of the
checkout counter in close proximity to the StratosE to facilitate service of the unit.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.
6. Turn on the host system.
7. Configure the StratosE to match the host system’s USB parameters.
Refer to the MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02034x) under Scanner Configuration
Bar Codes, Dual Cable Scanner Configuration Bar Codes: IBM OEM Full Speed USB Communication
Defaults.
