C ONFIGURATION TO THE H OST S YSTEM
The scanner is shipped from the factory configured to a set of default conditions
noted in the Default Settings section of this guide. In order for the scanner to
communicate with the host system, it will need to be properly configured. Since
each host system is unique, the scanner must be configured to match the host
system requirements. Use the MetroSet
® 2 Scanner Configuration Program
provided to configure the scanner.
Primary/Secondary Configuration Note
During configuration, the secondary scanner’s communication protocol will be
established automatically through the primary scanner. If the configuration is to
be downloaded from the host to the scanners, it is required that both the primary
and the secondary scanners are powered up and ready to scan. The appropriate
communications cables should be connected between the host and the primary
scanner and between the primary and the secondary scanner.
Once a configuration is downloaded to the primary scanner, the primary will
automatically configure the HoloTrak secondary scanner. This step is necessary
in order to configure the secondary scanner properly. For all practical purposes,
the scanners will act as one scanner. Once both units are configured, the
scanner settings are stored in non-volatile RAM, and will not need to be
configured again.
