Appendix B: Connector and Cable
Diagrams
This appendix provides an overview of the connectors and cables used to hook-up your
POS equipment.
I/O Panel Connectors
The following connectors are located on the Base Station I/O Panel.
IDN Port
The IDN connector is a combination RS422/RS232 port assigned to COM4. This port is
functionally equivalent to the RS422-A and RS422-B ports on the WS4/WS4 LX/KWS4
and the IDN port on all current MICROS workstations. Two configurations are detailed
in the following pages, configured through the POS application.
Warning: Do not insert a 6-Pin modular plug into the 8-Pin
IDN Port. The 6-Pin plug can push pins 1 and 8 of the
connector out of position. These pins are used by the RS232
Interface. Should you wish to use the RS232 Interface at a
later time, it may not function. Always use an 8-Pin modular
plug to connect an IDN printer to the workstation.
IDN Port - Driving MICROS IDN Printers
The most popular configuration of the IDN Port is for printing to printers with IDN
Modules. Also known as IDN(+), the figure below shows the pin-out for this
configuration.
