The M71V2 Cradle’s Communication Ports
The M71V2 handheld terminal has 2 different styles of communications ports, RS-232 (RJ-45)
and USB (Type II). The M71V2 Cradle also has 2 communications ports, RS-232 (DB-9) and
USB (Type II). The M71V2 Communications Cradle uses a standard RS-232 (DB-9 Male – DB-9
Female) cable.
Both communication connectors on the back of the M71V2 cradle are wired “straight through”.
This means that the communications settings on the M71V2 handheld terminal will determine the
settings on the communication cradle. The M71V2 Cradle has no internal or external settings that
can be changed.
The slower RS-232 communication port is primarily used for uploading and downloading of data
files to the M71V2 Batch handheld terminal. File transfers for the M71V2 RF handheld terminal
can be done using FTP. For more information on FTP see the “FTP” section of this manual.
The high speed USB data port is used to load a new or updated operating system into the M71V2
handheld terminal only. Use the AML USB Flash utility software to load the operating system.
