MK2000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide
If the host does not support RS-485 and RS-485 is the desired communication interface,
an RS-232 to RS-485 conversion box is required. The conversion box must be sourced
locally and configured per manufacture’s instructions. The conversion box is not available
from Symbol Technologies.
To install the MK2000 with a host that does not support RS-485:
1. Connect the conversion box to the host using an RS-232 cable.
2. Attach the RS-485 serial cable.
• Connect the RS-485 serial cable to the LAN port on the MK2000, see
Figure 1-3 on page 1-5 for port locations. Ensure the serial cable is terminated
according to the RS-485 Port Connections described in
Table 2-3.
• Plug the other end of the RS-485 serial cable into the converter box.
3. When the data communications installation is completed, return to Installation
Overview on page 2-2 and proceed with step 4 select accessories.
Wired RS-232 Setup

MK2000, see Figure 1-3 on page 1-5 for port locations. Ensure the serial cable is
terminated according to the Printer/Scanner (RS-232) Port Connections pin-outs
