8 - 2 DS9208 Product Reference Guide
Connecting to an IBM 468X/469X Host
Connect the digital scanner directly to the host interface.
Figure 8-1 IBM Direct Connection
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital
scanner. See 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 (typically Port 9).
3. Select the port address by scanning the appropriate bar code from Port Address on page 8-4.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
Host Port Connector
Interface Cable
NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 8-1 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.
