10 - 2 DS6878 Product Reference Guide
Connecting to an IBM 468X/469X Host
This connection is made directly from the cradle to the host interface.
Figure 10-1 IBM Direct Connection
To connect the IBM 46XX interface:
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the host port on the bottom of the digital
scanner cradle (see Connecting the Cables to the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle on page 1-8 or Connecting
the CR0078-P Series Cradle on page 1-9).
2. Connect the other end of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically Port 9).
3. Select the port address by scanning the appropriate bar code from Port Address on page 10-4.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
NOTE See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about digital scanner/cradle pairing and wireless
communication
The digital scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When
the digital scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long
low/long high beep sequence sounds.
Host Port Connector
Interface Cable
NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 10-1 are examples
only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the
same.
If a power supply is used, disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the cradle may not
recognize the new host.
The only required configuration is the port number. Other digital scanner parameters are typically
controlled by the IBM system.
