Configuration
This chapter describes the basic concepts you’ll need to understand
before attempting to use the built-in configuration menus and screens
of the Dual-Head Bar Code Decoders to:
• select bar code symbology and supplements
• configure scanner operations
• reset decoder status and counters
• configure AUX port terminal and LCD display
• display bar code values
• configure host communications and host message format
• restart decoder
To use the built-in configuration menus and screens, you must first
connect a terminal to the RS-232 AUX port of the decoder.
Supported terminals include:
• Allen-Bradley Industrial Terminal (Catalog No. 1770-T1, -T2,
-T3)
• Allen-Bradley 1784-T45 Laptop Terminal (Catalog No.
1784-T45)
• DEC VT100
• Lear Siegler ADM 3E
• computer or terminal that emulates one of the above
Appendix D provides details on how to connect and setup each
terminal. The AUX port communication parameters are fixed at:
• 8 Data Bits
• 1 Stop Bit
• 9600 Baud Rate
• Parity None
• XON/XOFF Flow Control (Decoder responds to XON/XOFF, but
does not generate XON/XOFF characters to the terminal.)
The AUX terminal can be used to either configure the decoder or for
manual data entry and display functions. The AUX port terminal is
factory set for configuration functions.
