IF5 Fixed Reader User's Manual
To use a communications program, you must have:
• a terminal or PC with an open serial port and the
communications program.
• an RS-232 null-modem cable (P/N 059167). One end of this
cable must be a 9-pin socket connector to connect to the
serial port on the IF5. To order this cable, contact your local
Intermec representative.
Note: If you have Microsoft ActiveSync running on your desktop
PC, you may need to disable ActiveSync to make the serial port
available.
To use a communications program
1 Use the RS-232 null-modem cable to connect the serial port
on the IF5 to a serial port on your PC.
2 Start the communications program and configure the serial
port communications parameters on your PC, and then click
OK. You should configure the serial port communications
parameters to:
Bits per second
Data bits
Parity
Stop bit
Flow control
3 Connect the IF5 to AC power. The IF5 boots as soon as you
apply power.
4 Press Enter when the message "Starting system" appears on
your screen. The Username field appears.
