Installation
All versions of the SCANTEAM 6980 depend on an external
source of +5 VDC power to operate. Since most RSĆ232
interface ports don't provide a power source, an external + 5
VDC power supply must be plugged into the molded receptacle
in the SCANTEAM 6980's interface connector for all versions,
except the 6980-5 [.
The SCANTEAM 6980 is easily installed into a PC system in the
following steps:
1) Turn the system power off.
2) Connect the MSR cable to the PC's 9 pin D male RSĆ232
port.
3) Connect the 5 VDC adaptor cable to the MSR and then plug
the 5 VDC adaptor into a 120 vac receptacle.
4) The MSR can be mounted to the wall, the side of a PC, a
keyboard, or simply to a counter with the hook and loop
fastener strips included with the product. Alternatively, the
screws holding the bottom plastic case on the MSR may be
replaced with longer screws for mounting purposes.
5) Turn the system power on.
6) Configure your host device to accept RSĆ232 data on its
RSĆ232 port.
7) Test the SCANTEAM 6980's host interface configuration by
passing a magnetic stripe card through the SCANTEAM
6980. The magnetic stripe data should appear on your PC
screen. If the data does not appear on the screen, you may
have to modify the output data configuration of the
SCANTEAM 6980 (see page 6, Configuration Options).
[ The SCANTEAM 6980–5 will only operate when the host device supplies
power on pin 9 of its DB-9 RS-232 interface port.
