NSTALLATION
RS485
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the
cable into the 10-pin socket on the
MS7580. There will be an audible
click when the connector lock
engages.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to
proper COM port of the host device
.
4. Turn on the host device.
5. The MS7580 will start to initialize.
The white and blue LED will alternately
fade on and off for approximately three
seconds. When the scanner has
finished initializing, the unit will flash
the white LED three times while
simultaneously beeping three times.
The low intensity blue LED will remain
turned on.
The MS7580 requires 12V power from the host for RS485 operation.
Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee
that scanned information will be communicated properly to the host
system. The scanner is shipped from the factory configured with default
settings. Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration
Guide (
MLPN
00-02544) or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on
changing the scanner’s configuration. In addition, please check that the
scanner and host system are using the same communication protocol.
See caution on page 6.
