Connecting To A Crossbar Network; Connecting Directly To An Ethernet Network - Intermec Trakker Antares 2460 Getting Started Manual

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. Connect the 25-pin RS-232/422/485 connector from your 9154 or
9161 controller to the COM2 port on the back of the 2460.

2. Use a small straight-slot screwdriver to tighten the two screws in the
RS-232/422/485 connector.
3. Plug the other end of the multi-drop cable into the 9154 or 9161
controller.
4. Turn on the terminal and configure the serial ports. See "Configuring
the Serial Port Parameters" later in this guide.
5. Use the FileCopy utility that ships with the PSK and EZBuilder to
download your C/C++ application from a PC to the 2460.
6. Load and run an application.
For more detailed information on installing the 2460 in an existing
CrossBar network, see your user's manual.

Connecting Directly to an Ethernet Network

The 2461 comes with an Ethernet (10BaseT) card that allows it to
communicate with a host or any device on an Ethernet network.
To connect to an Ethernet network
1. Configure your host computer and network. Assign an IP address for
the 2461.
2. Connect the Ethernet jack to the Ethernet connector on the back of the
2461.
3. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet connector on
your network.
4. Turn on the terminal and configure it to work in an Ethernet network.
See "Configuring the Ethernet Parameters" later in this guide.
