Installing the R/F Reader with a dedicated serial port

The Base Station can be directly attached to a spare serial port as shown

below. This configuration requires the Worth Data F10 5v power supply for

powering the Base Station. Upon power-up, the Base Station LED will flash

with 3 more flashes than the channel setting; i.e. if it is set on Channel 0, it

will flash green three times. If the Channel were set to 7, it would flash green

10 times.

Your software will need to read the serial port as a separate device, unless

you're using an IBM-compatible computer and Worth Data’s PortKey

software, which makes serial-port data appear as though it had been typed at

the keyboard. You can also use the WDR Test Utility to test communication

with your com port.

If you specified a 25-pin null-modem cable (part number F34) or a 9-pin cable

(part number F36) when you placed your order, you can cable directly from

the RF/Reader's Y-Cable port to your computer's serial port. Refer to page 6

for the details of the pin-outs of the cables.

Turn to page 7 to configure the RF Laser Reader using the Setup Menu.
