16 MX800 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE
Multiport Cable
The MX800 Series terminals use a multiport cable (Figure 12) to make most
connections, including connections to:
• an ECR
• an Ethernet LAN
• a development/host PC
Figure 12 Sample Multiport Cable: Front and Rear
The following precautions must be taken with multiport cables:
• Do not force the terminal connector into place.
• Always make sure that all of the pins are lined up in correct parallel fashion
before applying light pressure to snap the terminal connector into place.
• Do not attempt to remove the terminal connector by pulling directly on the
cable. Instead, firmly grasp the sides of the terminal connector with thumb
and forefinger, then pull out at the same angle the connector on the
terminal is facing.
• Disconnecting the power source during transaction processing may cause
loss of transaction data.
CAUTION
Improper installation or removal of the terminal connector may permanently
damage the MX800 Series terminal.
