CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
Connections should always be made with power OFF!
Datalogic Skorpio™ Serial/Modem Cradle can be connected to a Host by means of an RS232 interface or can
provide a modem connection by means of the integrated modem through the RJ11 phone connector.
RS232 Connection
The Datalogic Skorpio™ Serial/Modem Cradle can be connected to the Host by means of cable 94A054000 for 9-
pin connections. The RJ45 connector of the cable must be connected to the RS232 port of the cradle.
Then, it is necessary to insert the power supply plug into the power jack on the base of the cradle and attach
the power supply to a power outlet.
Once the Host has been turned on, insert the mobile computer into the cradle.

It is not possible to use the serial connection and the modem connection at the same time.
CAUTION
By default, the Datalogic Skorpio™ Serial/Modem Cradle allows serial communication
through the rear RS232 connector. It is mandatory to use an appropriate custom
software application in order to use the cradle integrated modem port.
Power Supply
Each connection requires a power supply to be connected to the cradle. We recommend the DL FPS18
power supply.
