2 - 44 MP7000 Scanner Scale Integrator Guide
IBM RS-485 Interface
Connecting
Connect the MP70XX directly to the host interface.
Figure 2-4 IBM RS-485 Connections
To set up the MP70XX:
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM RS-485 interface cable to the POS interface port on the MP70XX.
2. Connect the other end of the IBM RS-485 interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically Port 9).
The unit should power up immediately upon connection. If not, wait for unit to power up.
3. Select the port address by scanning the appropriate barcode (refer to MP7000 Scanner Scale Barcode
Programming Guide, p/n MN-002912-xx).
4. If a scale is present in the unit, scan the appropriate scale port address (
IBM Scale Port Addresses on page
2-50).
5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate barcodes in the MP7000 Scanner Scale Barcode
Programming Guide (p/n MN-002912-xx).
6. To prevent the IBM POS from configuring the MP70XX, refer to the MP7000 Scanner Scale Barcode
Programming Guide for information about RS-485 and IBM USB configuration, beep, scale, and type
directives.
NOTE For a list of supported scanner functionality by communication protocol
Appendix E, Communication Protocol
Functionality.
NOTE Older POS systems, and/or some retailers will require use of the external power supply
PWR-BGA12V50W0WW.
NOTE The only required configurations are the port addresses (IBM RS-485 port address, and a scale port address
if the model has a scale), and type directives (see
Step 6). The IBM system typically controls other MP70XX
parameters.
