12 Ports and connections

Ethernet port

The Ethernet port is located on the lower left corner of the terminal. It is a 10 position 8-pin female port which will accept a male 10BASE-T (RJ-45) modular connector. The terminal has the capability to communicate across an intranet, a WAN or the

Internet.

Note: Ethernet communicates via TCPIP 10BASE-T only.

W

AND

Ports and connections 13

RS-232 Serial port

The RS-232 serial port is located on the lower left corner of the terminal. It is a 6 position 4-pin female port which will accept a male RJ-11 modular connector.

The Acroprint Data Collection

Terminal can use RS-232 serial communication to connect directly to a host computer. A connection for an IBM PC or compatible is shown below.

The terminal serial port is used for connection to a serial printer.

Printers, such as the serial printer shown on page 24, use a circular

DIN connection. The Serial DIN Cable is shown below (see page

26).

Local Area Network: RS-485 serial port

The RS-485 serial port is located on the lower left corner of the terminal. It is a 6 position 4-pin female port which will accept a male RJ-11 modular connector.

W

AND

The terminal can use RS-485 2-wire serial communication, allowing up to 32 terminals to be connected to one host port. An

RS-232 port on the host is typically used in conjunction with an

RS-232/RS-485 converter to complete the connection.

Through software, the host can communicate with individual terminals even though they are wired in parallel. RS-485 communication uses a differential bus which provides good protection from interference over long runs of up to 4000 feet.

NOTE: When wiring a network, always follow the electric wiring codes in your area. Typically, a teflon coated wire is required for wiring through the ceiling. The junction box to junction box wire shown on the opposite page is a teflon jacketed cable.

Modem port

Terminals which are equipped with a MODEM port, will not have an RS-485 port. The MODEM port, when installed, physically replaces the RS-485 port and occupies the same location - the lower left corner of the badge terminal. It is a 6 position 4-pin female port which will accept a male RJ-11 modular connector.

W

AND

RS

MODEM

The internal modem (modulator/demodulator) converts electronic data into tones which are then transmitted over phone lines. The modem is compatible with Bell 103/212A and CCITT V.21/V.22

devices. It supports both asynchronous and synchronous (SDLC) communication and can communicate with a host computer over phone lines at 300, 1200, and 2400 baud.

18 Ports and connections

Modem cables

The cabling for modem operation is typically very simple. The modular connection uses the two inner wires of the RJ-11 jack for

“tip” and “ring.”

Connect one end of the cable to the terminal and plug the other end into your RJ-11 type modular telephone wall jack.

If a modular wall jack is not available, obtain an adaptor from your local telephone company.

Wand port

The Wand port is located on the lower left corner of the terminal.

It is a 6-pin DIN port which will accept a circular DIN connector.

W

AND

The Wand, when connected, uses only 3 of the 6 pins available on the DIN connection. If a Bar Code Gun (non-contact reader) is used, the center pin supplies additional power. The terminal uses

2 of the remaining pins as logic lines for external controls. See pin-out and function table below:

Wand and Y-Cable

Disconnect power to the terminal before connecting the Bar Code

Wand. The wand is capable of reading bar code stripes by passing it directly over the label. Check the software manual to identify the codes your terminal will read.

Bar Code Wand

The Y-cable shown below allows for connection of both a wand and other external devices. The single end of the cable is plugged into the terminal. A wand can be connected to one split and another device to the other. See appendix for External Relay Box part number.

Y-cable (splitter)

Ports and connections 21

Parallel port

The parallel port is located on the right side of the Acroprint Data

Collection Terminal. It is a 25 pin female port which will accept a 25pin male connector.

This type of parallel port is typically used on IBM ® PC or IBM-PC compatible computers. The Acroprint Data Collection Terminal provides strain relief if the connector is locked in by the securing screws. Additional strain relief can be obtained by securing the parallel cable to the wall or mounting surface.

* IBM ® is a registered trademark of International Business Machines.

22 Ports and connections

Parallel cable

The parallel port is typically used for connection to a parallel printer. Shown below is a parallel interface cable. Since this is the same cable that is used to connect an IBM-PC or compatible to a printer, it will likely be available from most computer dealers offthe-shelf. One end is a male DB-25 connector, the other end is a

36-pin Centronics-type connector to match the parallel port on the printer.
