  • Page 7: Introduction To The 6540 Terminal

    Introduction to the 6540 Terminal The 6540 Terminal is a rugged PC-based data collection terminal. In most respects it is like a DOS PC. Application developers can easily write custom applications for this terminal. Its Ethernet interface makes it easy for network administrators to manage.

The DHB Model has a standard disk drive. In addition, its enclosure is specialized for the requirements of industrial environments. It is designed for permanent mounting to a desktop or wall.

  • Page 9: Set Up

    Unpacking Several different models are available, and each can be ordered with a range of options and accessories. When unpacking, check the packing list against your order, and ensure that all of the listed options and accessories are present. Accessories are all visible, and their presence is easy to verify. The connectors for optional add-on cards should be visible through the rear panel.

    Section 3 Mounting and Adjusting The terminal rests on desktop or is permanently mounted to a desktop or wall using its adjustable mounting bracket accessory. Its protective cable cover accessory attaches to the top panel of the unit, to provide environmental protection. Desktop Configuration without Mounting Bracket In the desktop configuration without the adjustable mounting bracket, the supplied feet should be attached as shown in Figure 3-1.
  • Page 12 Section 3 Mounting and Adjusting The following illustrations show how you can permanently attach the terminal to a desk or wall with the optional mounting bracket. Figure 3-2 Desktop Configuration with Adjustable Mounting Bracket Use the adjustable mounting bracket (part number 2-486015-20) for either surface. Once the bracket is installed, you can tilt the terminal from 0 to 15 degrees, by loosening the thumbscrews, tilting the unit, then retightening the screws.

    Connecting to the Network The terminal includes drivers that let you connect it to all popular networks. In Models DFB and DSB, they are located on the FLASH (B:) drive of the terminal. In Model DHB they are located on the hard disk drive (C:). The network drivers are loaded on the terminal based on your order. All of the network configurations require adding, deleting, or modifying files on the B: or C: drives.

    The terminal features a 4-line by 40-character "advanced supertwist" display that provides large, bright characters viewable from a wide angle, without requiring contrast or brightness adjustment. We offer an optional 8-line by 40-character display. The display can be described as a 4x40 or 8x40 window on a standard 25x80 monochrome PC display.

    Configuring the Bar Code You can configure the integrated bar code decoder with MAXICONF2, a menu-driven program on the utility diskette. MAXICONF2 runs on a PC and generates a file with a custom configuration that you load in the terminal. When you run the MAXILOAD program on the terminal, it loads the configuration file into the decoder, via a dedicated, internal COM3 connection.
