Connecting to an IBM 468X/469X Host
This connection is made directly from the scanner to the host interface.
Figure 5-1 IBM Direct Connection
To connect the IBM 46XX interface:
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the port on the bottom of the scanner, as
described in Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-3.
2. Connect the other end of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the appropriate port on the host.
3. Select the port address by scanning the appropriate bar code from Port Address on page 5-4.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
NOTE Figure 5-1 shows an auto-host detect cable. Your cable may vary.
NOTE Scanners branded with a silver logo must use auto-host detect cables, and
automatically detect the host interface type, but there is no default port setting. Select a Port Address
bar code to select the appropriate port.
Scanners branded with a black logo must use a standard IBM cable. Select a Port
Address bar code to select the appropriate port.
NOTE The only required configuration is the port number. Other scanner parameters are typically controlled
by the IBM system.
