IBM Interface 11 - 3
Connecting DS3608 to an IBM 468X/469X Host
Connect the digital scanner directly to the host interface.
Figure 11-2 IBM Direct Connection to DS3608
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital scanner.
See Installing the DS3608 Interface Cable on page 1-15.
2. Connect the other end of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically Port 9).
3. The digital scanner automatically detects the host interface type, but there is no default setting. Scan the port
address by scanning the appropriate barcode from Port Address on page 11-5.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate barcodes in this chapter.

NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 11-2 are examples
only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the digital scanner
are the same.
NOTE The only required configuration is the port address. The IBM system typically controls other digital scanner
parameters.
