Connecting ECR in Tailgate Mode
To connect an ECR to the MX 900 Series terminal, insert the multiport cable plug
into the bottom socket on the terminal and install the retainer. Then connect
the SDL tailgate connector to the desired 12-volt port on the back of the IBM
register, such as 9A or 9B.
Caution:
Connecting to a Serial Port
To connect the MX 900 Series terminal to the serial port of an ECR or PC, use a
serial cable such as the 26264-XX-R. Connect the DB9 plug to the device and the
RJ-45 plug to the assigned COM port on the I/O Module or the Multiport Cable.
Connecting to the Ethernet LAN
To connect the MX 900 Series terminal to an Ethernet LAN through the Ethernet
port using a standard Ethernet cable, insert the LAN cable from the LAN router
or hub into the Ethernet port on the multiport cable or the Ethernet port on the
I/O Module if no multiport cable is used.
Connecting to USB Host or Hub
The CBL132-002-XX-A cable connects a USB host to the USB On-The-Go (OTG)
port on the I/O Module. The 23741-02-R Multiport cable connects directly to a
USB host.
Powering up
This section describes how to connect the MX 900 Series terminal to a power
source using the multiport cable or I/O Module.
Note:
Warning:
Note:
Use caution because the various ports on the back of the register
have different voltages. Plugging into the wrong port may damage
the register or the MX 900 Series terminal.
If connected to an ECR using a tailgate cable, the MX 900 Series terminal
can receive power from the ECR.
Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the
terminal outdoors.
The power outlet should be on a dedicated circuit or on an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If other devices are plugged into the
same circuit, the MX 900 Series device can potentially experience power
fluctuations that might cause it to malfunction.
