MK2000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide
Power Port
The MK2000 can be powered by a Symbol approved power supply plugged into the power
port (2.0 mm barrel jack connector) on the rear of the MK2000, for additional information
see Power on page 2-9 and/or Technical Specifications on page A-1.
Ethernet/Bias-T
Wired Ethernet: Power via AC Outlet
The Ethernet / Bias-T port can be used for an Ethernet data connection*. It uses a 10-
conductor RJ-45 plug. With this Ethernet installation the MK2000 receives power via the
Symbol approved power supply.
Wired Ethernet: Power via Power-over-Ethernet
The MK2000 supports Power-over-Ethernet (POE) Symbol Technologies’ Bias-T
functionality. When an Ethernet (10/100Base-T) cable is connected to the Ethernet/Bias-T
port, in addition to being the conduit for data exchange*, it can also be used as a conduit to
provide power to the MK2000.
*Factory built, wireless ready units do not have the Ethernet/Bias-T port enabled.
RS-485
RS-485 (10-conductor RJ-45 plug) is sometimes termed the Multidrop LAN since it can
connect several devices in a LAN network environment. These devices are all connected
to a single pair wire (i.e., transmit and receive share the same two wires).
Line out - Left and Right External Speakers
Provides connections (3.5 mm) for left and right external speakers. Each line is powered,
2.2 watts. Internal speakers are disabled when the external speakers are connected.
Headphones Jack
Provides a standard 3.5 mm headphone connection. This standard jack is compatible with
headphones used on many portable audio products (MP3 players). Headphones that do
not protrude into the ear are recommended. The internal and external speakers are
disabled when the headphones jack is used.
Printer/Scanner (RS-232)
The Printer/Scanner (RS-232) port (RJ-45 jack, 10 conductor) is powered (5V/500mA) and
can be used for serial communication with a host, connection of an external device such as
a decoded scanner. It is important to confirm the cable pin-outs before attaching the cable.
For cable pin-outs, see Printer/Scanner (RS-232) Port Connections on page 2-21.
