Connecting A Keyboard; Connecting To Serial Devices And Networks - Intermec Trakker Antares 2460 Getting Started Manual

Connecting a Keyboard

You can connect a keyboard to the 246X terminal. There are two
keyboards available for the terminal:
Alphanumeric keyboard (Part No. 068662)
Numeric keyboard (Part No. 069113)
You can also attach a standard PC-AT keyboard to the terminal. However,
you will find that not all of the keys on the keyboard work the same as if
the keyboard were attached to your PC.
To connect a keyboard
Insert the keyboard DIN connector into the keyboard connector on the
246X terminal.

Connecting to Serial Devices and Networks

You use the terminal's serial ports to transfer data between the terminal and
a serial device. Every 246X terminal has one serial port (COM1) that
supports RS-232 communications. You can use COM1 to connect to a
serial device, such as a printer, scale, 9189, or PC.
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.

2. Insert the 25-pin serial or multi-drop connector from a serial device or
network to the COM2 port on the back of the terminal.
3. Use a small straight-slot screwdriver to tighten the two screws in each
cable connector.
4. Attach the other end of the serial or multi-drop cable into the serial
device or network.
5. Turn on the terminal and configure the serial ports. See "Configuring
the Serial Port Parameters" later in this guide.
