Introduction Congratulations on selecting Intermec to help meet your data collection needs. You have chosen the world leader in the data collection industry. The TRAKKER Antares 246X stationary terminals (2460 and 2461) are wall-mount or desktop data collection terminals. You can use these programmable terminals to run client/server applications such as work-in- process, time and attendance, or document tracking.
Standard Features The 246X terminals ship with these standard features: 512K of RAM reserved for applications 750K flash drive to store user applications and files Scanner connector to attach a wand, badge scanner, laser scanner, or CCD scanner Serial port (COM1) for RS-232 communications You can purchase this option for the 246X terminal: 4MB flash memory, 2MB of which you can configure as a 2MB drive Accessories...
Using the Status Lights You can use the status lights on the terminal to monitor the status of the backup battery power, network communications, special keys, and bar code scanning. The status lights only flash or turn on to indicate the current status.
Installing the Terminal Make sure that you have the necessary equipment to install and connect the 246X terminal to your network. Power supply Power cord Input device (badge scanner, wand, laser scanner, CCD scanner) Optional keyboard RS-232 or RS-232/422/485 serial communications cable Multi-drop cable (2460 only) Ethernet (10BaseT) cable (2461 only) The steps to install your 246X terminal depend on the options that you...
Connecting the Power Supply You connect power to the terminal using the main power supply. To connect the power supply Connect the power supply to the power connector on the terminal. Connect the power cable from the power supply to a powered electrical outlet.
The 2460 has an additional serial port, COM2. COM2 supports RS-232/422/485 communications. You can use COM2 to connect to a serial device, a wired network, or an Intermec CrossBar network. To connect to a serial device or network 1. Insert the 9-pin RS-232 connector into the COM1 port on the back of the terminal.
Connecting to a CrossBar Network If you have a 2460 terminal, you have two serial ports: COM1 and COM2. COM2 supports RS-232/422/485 communications. You can use COM2 to connect the 2460 to an existing CrossBar network. The 2460 can communicate with a 9154 or 9161 controller using Multi-Drop protocol. To install the 2460 in an existing CrossBar network 1.
Charging the Backup Battery The backup battery backs up all memory and the real-time clock in case of a power failure. The backup battery ships inside the terminal, but it may not be fully charged. You need to fully charge the backup battery after you install the terminal.
