Setting Up the Reader

Follow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your reader up and commu-

nicating with its host:

1. Install the Interface Cable

2. Select the Interface Type

3. Configure Interface Settings (only if not using factory settings for that interface)

Configure Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings)

Install the Interface Cable

The reader kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for

your installation. If not, contact Technical Support.

Seat the cable assembly into the reader, aligning both the connector, aligning the cable

clip with its opening as shown in the insert portion of Figure 1.

RS-232 Serial Connection —

Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to

the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1. If the terminal

will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply reader power, use the ap-

proved power supply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the sock-

et on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.
