30 Using the Display (LCD) The MK1000 has a back lit 240 x 64 pixel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The display’s colors are white on blue. The MK1000’s display can handle both text and graphics. The LCD’s contrast is adjustable.
Power-over-Ethernet. If an external power supply is used, it plugs into the power port on the rear of the MK1000 via a 2.0mm barrel jack. The center pin of the jack is positive and the outer tab is ground.
The MK1000 supports Power-over-Ethernet (Symbol Technologies' Bias-T functionality). When an Ethernet (10Base-T) cable is connected to the LAN port, in addition to being the conduit for data exchange, it can also be used as a conduit to provide power to the MK1000. RS-485 RS-485 is sometimes termed the Multidrop LAN since it can connect several devices in a LAN network environment.
Setup and Installation: Mechanical Overview This chapter describes the hardware setup and installation of the MK1000. Topics covered in this chapter include mounting, providing power, and connecting communication cables (if required) for the following four MK1000 communication interfaces: • Wireless Ethernet (2Mb or 11Mb RF) •...
Ethernet cable. Wired Ethernet: Power via AC Outlet With this installation option, the MK1000 communicates to the host via a 10Base-T Ethernet cable and receives power via a power supply plugged into an AC outlet. To install the MK1000, follow the instructions below.
Wired Ethernet: Power via Power-over-Ethernet With this installation option, in addition to the MK1000 communicating to the host via a 10Base-T Ethernet cable, the MK1000 also simultaneously receives its power via the same Ethernet cable. Note: Power-over-Ethernet should NOT be used in conjunction with an external power supply connected to the power port on the MK1000 otherwise damage can occur to the MK1000 and/or network.
Wireless Ethernet: Power via AC Outlet With this installation option, the MK1000 communicates to the host via a wireless (RF) connection and receives power via a power supply plugged into an AC outlet. To install the MK1000, follow the instructions below.
Wireless Ethernet: Power via Power-over-Ethernet With this installation option, the MK1000 communicates to the host via a wireless (RF) connection and receives power via an Ethernet cable. Note: This Ethernet cable does NOT provide data to the MK1000. To install the MK1000, follow the instructions below.
For MK1000 devices installed where pre-existing PCK 9100 wiring exists, an RS-485 pin- out converter can be used. This pin-out converter maps the PCK 9100 signals into the required MK1000 pin-out and attaches to the existing PCK 9100 wiring, and then into the MK1000.

Setup and Installation: Communication Overview This chapter describes the steps required to establish communication between the MK1000 and a host. Note: The host must be able to support either the RS-232 or Ethernet communication interface. Common host operating systems that support these interfaces include Windows, Unix, DOS, and IBM 468x/469x.
The four types of interfaces are listed in The number and type of communication interfaces your unit has is specified in its model number. For a list of MK1000 model numbers and their supported onboard communication interfaces see the Appendix F, Table 3-1.

ACK/NAK handshaking is supported for data sent from the host to the MK1000. If enabled, the MK1000 ACKs or NAKs a data packet based on its format and the LRC being correct. Because no error checking is performed on the data in the packet, the MK1000 ignores invalid display commands within the packet and sends an ACK.
Allows binary data communication, no software handshaking is used. Data packets contain no control characters. Communications Examples Example 1 - Correct Communications MK1000 <STX> <DATA> <ETX> <LRC> <EOT> Example 2 -Wrong First Transmission MK1000 <STX> <DATA> <ETX> <LRC> No Time-out...
The host and the MK1000 communicate with each other using the following packet format: <SOH> <ADDR> <STX> <DATA> <ETX> <LRC> If the MK1000 is polled and has no data, it responds with an EOT character. The same ACK/NAK protocol used for RS-232 is used for RS-485 communication.

Message Commands A message is composed of display commands and text to be displayed. Commands are executed in the same manner as host commands. The MK1000 has four default messages (see Table 5-4 on page 5-10) that can be replaced using the Resource Manager to create messages with the same ID numbers.
MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide Button Press - Event Notification When one of the MK1000 function buttons is depressed, a string is sent to the host where <Keypad digit, 1 through 4> is the number of the button pressed. For example, "BTN4" is sent to the host when the right most button, ‘4’, is pressed.
