Step 2 — Connect the System
Important: If you are connecting Ultra-Lock cordsets to the QX-830
and QX-1, align the pins first and then push the connector into
place. Do not twist the connectors, as this will bend the pins.
Important: Do not attempt to power more than four scanners
with a single power supply in a daisy chain configuration. Add a
QX-1 and one power supply for every four additional scanner in
the daisy chain.
Note: The configuration instructions below are for simple, direct
connections to an RS-232 or Ethernet host. The QX-1 can be
added to RS-232 or Ethernet configurations in which greater
flexibility and complexity are required. The first diagram in Step 1
shows a standalone configuration that includes the QX-1.
RS-232 Standalone (without QX-1)
1. Connect the Serial Communication Cable from "B" on the
QX-830 to the host.
2. Connect the power supply to "A" on the QX-830.
3. Plug in the power supply.
Ethernet Standalone (without QX-1)
Important: Configure Ethernet-enabled scanners off-line and
then connect to network when ready for dynamic use.
1. Connect the Ethernet Communication Cable from "B" on
the QX-830 to the host network.
2. Connect the power supply to "A" on the QX-830.
3. Plug in the power supply.
