To connect the printer directly to an AS/400 or midrange computer, you
need
• a twinax adapter card (P/N 067879).
• a twinax cable equivalent to IBM part number 7362267 or 7362062.
The maximum cable length for the twinax interface is 1,525 meters
(5,000 feet).
If you did not order the twinax card to be installed at the factory, contact
your local Intermec representative to have one installed in the optional I/O
board port of the printer.
For help on cabling and communications, see the manual that comes with
the twinax adapter card.
Note: If you are using a midrange computer other than the AS/400, refer
to your system documentation for information on cabling and setting up
communications.
To connect the printer directly to an IBM mainframe, you need
• a coax adapter card (P/N 067880).
• a coax cable equivalent to IBM part number 2577672 or 1833108.
If you did not order the coax card to be installed at the factory, contact
your local Intermec representative to have one installed in the optional I/O
board port of the printer.
The maximum cable length allowed is 1,500 meters (4,920 feet). See the
IBM specification Installation and Assembly of Coaxial Cable and Accessories,
part number GA27-2805-4, for further information.
For help on cabling and communications, see the manual that comes with
the coax adapter card.
