The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS485 Stratos
H
application. The scanner
must
then be
configured to match the host’s RS485 parameters. Cable installation alone
does not
guarantee that the Stratos
H
will communicate
properly with the host system.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide
(

) and the MS2
xxx
Stratos Series
Configuration Addendum (
PN
00-02034
x
).
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the RS485 interface cable (
PN
57-57004
x
-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled,
Scanner RS232 / IBM
46xx to Host
, on the bottom of the Stratos
H
. Refer to Figure on page 23.
3. Connect the other end of the RS485 cable to communication port 9 on the host device.
Before continuing verify that the RS485 cable is connected to the appropriate interface socket on the scanner. An incorrect
cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner and/or terminal.
Manufacturers Note:
Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the host device does not guarantee that scanned
information will appear at the host device. A software driver and correct configuration settings are also required for proper
communication to occur. When using the RS232/Full Speed USB/RS485 (-121) interface, the USB and RS485 interfaces
are not active at the same time.
4. Plug the external power supply (

) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled,
DC Power
In
, on the bottom of
the Stratos
H
.

Introduction
section of this guide for a complete listing.
Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. The outlet should
be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.
Honeywell recommends using a switched AC outlet. The switch should be located on the operator’s side of the checkout
counter in close proximity to the Stratos
H
to facilitate calibration and service of the unit.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.
6. Turn on the host system.
7. Configure the Stratos
H
to match the host system’s RS485
parameters.
