Connecting the
Device
Brief descriptions of possible M
x
800 Series terminal device connections and the
power pack connection are provided in this section. For complete information
about installing and using an optional device, refer to the user documentation
supplied with that device. For a list of compatible cables for these connections,
see Accessories.
Multiport Cable
The M
x
800 Series terminal uses a multiport cable (Figure 10) to make most
connections, including connections to
• an ECR,
• an RS-485 LAN, or
• a development/host PC.
Ethernet LAN and USB connections are made using the Installing Optional
Modules option.

Disconnecting
Multiport
The following are the precautions taken at the time of disconnecting the Multiport:
• Improper installation or removal of the terminal connector may
permanently damage the M
x
800 Series.
• Do not force the terminal connector into place.
• Always make sure all of the pins are lined up in correct parallel fashion
before applying light pressure to snap the terminal connector into place.
• Do not attempt to remove the terminal connector by pulling directly on the
cable. Instead, firmly grasp the sides of the terminal connector with thumb
and forefinger, then pull straight away at the same angle the connector on
the terminal is facing.
• Disconnecting the power source during transaction processing may cause
loss of transaction data.
WARNING
Before connecting the M
x
800 Series terminal, ensure all units are not connected
to a power source. Unplug all power packs from the wall jack.
