Connecting to an IBM 468X/469X Host
This connection is made directly from the cradle to the host interface.
Figure 9-1
IBM Direct Connection
To connect the IBM 46XX interface:
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the host port on the bottom of the linear
imager scanner cradle (see Connecting the Cables to the CR0078-S/CR0008-S Cradle on page 1-8 or
Connecting the Cables to the CR0078-P Cradle on page 1-9).
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 9-4.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
NOTE See Chapter 4, RADIO COMMUNICATIONS for information about linear imager scanner/cradle pairing
and wireless communication
The linear imager scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect.
When the linear imager scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned,
a long low/long high beep sequence sounds.

Interface Cable
Power Supply
NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 9-1 are examples
only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the
same.
If a power supply is used, disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the cradle may not
recognize the new host.
The only required configuration is the port number. Other linear imager scanner parameters are typically
controlled by the IBM system.
