to DS3678
1. Connect the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the cable interface port on the cradle. See
Connecting the Cradle on page 1-5.
2. Connect the other end of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically Port 9).
3. Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Pair the digital scanner to the cradle by scanning the barcode on the cradle.
5. Select the port address by scanning the appropriate barcode from Port Address on page 11-5.
6. To modify other parameter options, scan the appropriate barcodes in this chapter.
NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 11-1 are examples
only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain
the same.
NOTE Disconnect the host cables before the power supply, or the digital scanner may not recognize the new
host.
NOTE The only required configuration is the port address. Most other digital scanner parameters are typically
controlled by the IBM system.
