2.6 INTERFACE SELECTION
Installation
The Sirius S-7030 is equipped with triple interface for integration in nearly every
environment: RS-232, Key Board Wedge, USB or USB plus power. The interface
is selected by the cable connected. On power up the scanner senses the type of
interface used and switches to the appropriate protocol. However some
variations are possible.
From the Scantech factory, the Sirius is in RS-232 Interface Mode.
ATTENTION
Changing from interface is very simply done by following
these steps:
1. Connect the applicable interface cable to the Sirius
2. Power-up the scanner
3. Initialize the communication parameters by scanning
programming bar codes 1.1 and 1.3 from the Configuration
Guide.
This procedure is required once-only.
In KBW-mode the scanner defaults to the International Keyboard lay-out
(ALT-method) for communication in the most versatile way. Settings may be
changed to some national keyboards if required, using the Configuration Guide
Chapter 3.4.
In RS-232 mode, the default communication parameters are 9600,N,8,2. Using
the Scantech Configuration Guide Chapter 3.1, you may select one of the
various presets, or set each parameter by hand.
In USB-mode the scanner defaults to Keyboard Emulation Mode (compare the
KBW cable). The Sirius transmits the data in International Keyboard lay-out (ALT-
method) for communication in the most versatile way. Settings may be changed
to national keyboards if required, using the Configuration Guide Chapter 3.4.
Other USB communication selections (are:
- USB IBM fixed POS scanner
- USB IBM handheld scanner emulation
- USB COM Port emulation (Scantech supplies a driver for this)
See Configuration Guide Chapter 3.5
Note: The Sirius-USB must be directly connected to the PC-USB port and not
through an (un-powered) USB hub.
