OCIA
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an OCIA StratosH application. The scanner must then be
configured to match the host’s OCIA parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosH will
communicate properly with the host system.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide ( MLPN 00-02407 x) and the
MS2 xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (
MLPN 00-02034 x).
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the OCIA interface cable ( MLPN 57-57015 x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled Scanner
OCIA to Host on the bottom of the StratosH. Refer to figure on page 25.
3. Connect the other end of the OCIA Interface cable ( MLPN 57-57015 x-N-3) to the appropriate communication port on the
host device.
Before continuing verify that the OCIA cable pinouts match the host system’s and 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.
4. Plug the external power supply ( MLPN 46-46 xxx* ) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC Power In, on the bottom of
the StratosH.
xxx* Specifies international connection. See Optional Accessories in the 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.
Metrologic 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 StratosH 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 StratosH to match the host system’s OCIA parameters.
Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide ( MLPN 00-02407 x) under Section I: OCIA for Enabling and
Setting OCIA Parameters.
