OCIA
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an OCIA Stratos
S application. The scanner must then be
configured to match the host’s OCIA parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the Stratos S 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
57-57016
x
-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled Scanner Host
OCIA on the bottom of the Stratos S . Refer to figure on page 23.
3. Connect the other end of the OCIA Interface cable (
MLPN
57-57016
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
46-002
xx
) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC Power In , on the bottom of the
Stratos S .
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 Stratos
S 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 Stratos S to match the host system’s OCIA parameters.
Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (
MLPN
00-02407

) under Section I: OCIA for Enabling and Setting
OCIA Parameters .
