DIP switch settings on cradle
Setting the DIP switches on or off will result in
differrent baudrates and enabled or disabled
functions of the cradle.
Open the cover of the DIP switches on the
bottom of the cradle in order to reach the
DIP switches.
Turn the DIP switch ON by moving it
upwards into the direction of the dipswitch
number.
Turn the DIP switch OFF by moving it
downwards into the direction OFF.
The functionality of the terminal is determined
by software, the so-called user application,
that is running on the terminal.
Usually, the terminal is not equipped with
software and has no functionality. At first the
user application must be loaded before the
terminal can be used for barcode scanning.
Tools for developing a user application on the
PC for use on the terminal, as supplied by
Opticon are:
Application Generator
PotStar (Limited or Professional)
C language: Microtec ANSI-C compiler
and C library for handheld terminals.
The user application must be downloaded
from the PC into the terminal. You can use the
cradle, an RS232 cable or an infrared adapter
for communication between the terminal and
the PC. A program on the PC will send the
user application to the terminal, where it is
stored in FlashROM memory.
When the functionality of the terminal is defined
by the application it is ready for operation.
In a typical application you will press the trigger
key and scan a bar code label as described in
the next chapter. Scanned data and data
entered from the keyboard is stored in the
terminal's RAM. The user application can use
this data in subsequent steps.
The collected data can be transmitted to the PC
for further processing. For data transmission
you can use the cradle, an RS232 cable or an
infrared adapter to connect the terminal to the
PC.
Exercise caution at all times when
working with AC-powered equipment.
Turn off your devices before
installation.
Because of the special pin-out of the
connectors, use the cables supplied
by the manufacturer.
When you need another cable for a
certain device, that is not supplied,
contact your supplier to purchase the
right cable. In case another cable is
used, take notice of the pin-out
specifications further in this manual.
Connection sequence
for single cradle:
Place the cradle in normal office conditions,
avoid a place under strong light.
Disconnect the power supply.
Set the required DIPswitches for
baud rate and function.
Connect the interface cables.
Connect the power supply.
Place the PHL2700 terminal in the cradle.

Cradle network
Connection sequence
for cradle in network:
Set all cradles to the same baud rate (by
DIPswitch)
Only 1 cradle in the network will be
connected to the PC through one RS232
cable. On this cradle the DIPswitch for RS232
connection must be enabled. Through this
connection all cradles can communicate to
the PC.
A maximum of 16 cradles can be connected
in a network through RS485 cables. For the
cradles that are not directly connected to the
PC the DIPswitch for RS232 connection
must be set to off.
The first and the last cradle in the network
must have the termination resistors set by
dipswitch.
