Setting Up the iPOS TX System
Connecting Peripherals
To connect a peripheral device to the iPOS TX, use the Y-cable (HDB15/Dual DB9) that
splits at the HDB15 connector:
1. Plug the cable’s 15-pin connector (HDB15) into the serial port on the back of the
iPOS TX.
2. Plug one DB9 connector of the Y-cable into a serial port (typically COM1) on the
host device.
3. Connect the other DB9 connector of the Y-cable to the peripheral device.
4. Insert the connector on the AC power adapter cable into the port on the back of the
serial cable’s 9-pin connector (DB9) that is connected to the host device.
5. Connect the end of the AC adapter to a standard 120V, 60 Hz AC power outlet.
Note that the peripheral requires its own power supply.
