Installing the R/F Reader between a computer and terminal
If you attach the s Base between your computer and a terminal, as shown
below, using Cable Selection F45-1, bar code data will be sent to the computer
as if it had been typed on that terminal. Refer to page 8 for the details of the
pin-outs for each connector on the cable. You will also need to change jumpers
(JP2 on the RF Base) on the board inside the case from the ā€œSā€ position to the
ā€œYā€ position.
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.
Cables may require modification, depending on the genders and pin-outs of
your serial ports and cables. You may require "gender changers" (available at
most computer stores) for the two 25-pin connectors. Refer to page 6 for the
details of the pin-outs of the dual port serial cable.
Turn to page 7 to configure the reader using the RF Laser Reader Setup
Menu.
