246X stationary terminals. You will
learn about the terminal connectors and learn how to understand the terminal's status
lights, status beeps, power, memory, and drives.
What Are the 246X Stationary Terminals?
The TRAKKER Antares 246X stationary terminals (2460 and 2461) are desktop data
collection terminals. You can use these programmable terminals to run client/server
applications such as work-in-process, time and attendance, or document tracking.
You use the 2460 and 2461 terminals to collect and upload data to a host computer via
serial or Ethernet communications. You can configure the terminal by scanning bar
codes or by downloading configuration commands from your host.
Note: The 246X terminals communicate with either the DCS 300 or the Model 200
Controller. The DCS 300 is a data collection server that replaces the Model 200
Controller.

COM1 and COM2.
