Cable Installation (Interface Specific)
Full Speed USB
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for a Full Speed USB scanner application.
The scanner must then be configured to match the host’s USB parameters. Cable installation alone does
not guarantee that the scanner will communicate properly with the host system.
Note: Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (PN 00-02407x) and
the MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02034x).
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the USB interface cable (PN 57-57201x-N-3 or 57-57227x-N-3) into the
10-pin socket labeled ‘Scanner Host USB’ on the bottom of the scanner. Refer to the figure on page
25.
3. Connect the other end of the USB interface cable to the appropriate USB port on the host device.
Stop: Before continuing, verify that the USB interface cable is connected to the appropriate socket
on the scanner. An incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or
potential damage to the scanner and/or terminal.
Note: Plugging the scanner into the USB port of the host does not guarantee that scanned
information will appear at the host. A software driver and correct configuration setting are
also required for proper communication to occur.
4. Plug the external power supply (PN 46-002xx) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled ‘DC Power In’ on the
bottom of the scanner.
Note: Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches
the AC outlet. The outlet should be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.
Using a switched AC outlet is recommended. The switch should be located on the
operator’s side of the checkout counter in close proximity to the scanner to facilitate
calibration and service of the unit.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power
on.
6. Turn on the host system.
7. Configure the scanner to match the host system’s USB parameters.
Note: The IBM OEM Full Speed USB Communication Defaults** bar code is located in the MS2xxx
Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02034x) under Scanner Configuration Bar
Codes: Dual Cable Scanner Configuration Bar Codes, IBM OEM Full Speed USB
Communication Defaults and IBM OEM Full Speed USB Protocols.
** Applies only with MS2421/MS2431 non-scale scanner models. If a scale has been integrated into a
scale ready MS2421/MS2431, the configuration bar code shown does not apply.
