WDR Reader Installation - Host & Terminal
If you attach the WDR R22 Reader between your computer and a terminal,
as shown below, using the F45-1 Serial Y Cable, bar code data will display
on the terminal as if it had been typed.
The F45-1 Serial Y Cable
assumes you already have a
dumb ASCII terminal connect-
ed to a host computer. Unplug
the host cable from the termi-
nal and plug it into the DB25
Female cable end on the F45-1
cable. Connect the other 25
pin end of the F45-1 Y Cable
to the terminal (where the host
cable was plugged previously).
The WDR R22 now sits in-
between the terminal and host
acting as a wedge reader; data
scanned is echoed back by the
host to the terminal screen.
The WDR reader must be con-
figured so that the Baud Rate,
Data Bits, Stop Bits and Parity
match the settings on the ter-
minal. You may need to consult your terminal’s documentation to deter-
mine how those settings are viewed on the terminal. Once you know what
the settings are, you can use the bar coded WDR Setup Menu to make any
necessary changes.
For configuration settings and details, see the PDF Users Guide on the
Utility CD provided with the reader.
