The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an IBM 46xx StratosH application. The scanner must then
be configured to match the host's IBM 46xx parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosH will
communicate properly with the host system.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (
MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (
1.
Turn off the host system.
2.
Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the IBM interface cable (
Scanner RS232 / IBM 46xx to Host, on the bottom of the StratosH. Refer to Figure on page 23.
3.
Connect the other end of the IBM cable to communication port 9 on the host device.
Before continuing verify that the IBM cable is connected to the appropriate interface socket on the scanner. An
incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner and/or terminal.
Manufacturers Note: Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the host device does not guarantee that scanned
information will appear at the host device. A software driver and correct configuration settings are also required for
proper communication to occur.
4.
Plug the external power supply (

Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. The outlet
should be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.
Metrologic recommends using a switched AC outlet. The switch should be located on the operator's side of the
checkstand in close proximity to the StratosH to facilitate calibration and service of the unit.
5.
Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.
6.
Turn on the host system.
7.
Configure the StratosH to match the host system's IBM 46xx parameters.

Caution: To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV
(Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950/UL 60950 and norm EN/IEC 60950, the power source should
meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
