The MPT Components
At a minimum, you must have the following items:
MPT device
power supply
USB keyboard and mouse
For maximum reliability, use CAT 5 Ethernet cables less than 100
meters for 100 megabit operation. Other types of wiring may
cause slower connection speeds and/or communication loss.
Power Up

Mounting the
MPT 9600
The MPT has an industry standard 75
mm VESA mounting pattern on the back
of the terminal. This allows the MPT to
be mounted in a variety of ways:
mounted to a wall or desk, using the
optional Epic mounting bracket
mounted to a workstation, using the optional workstation
platform
The mounting accessories you received were specified at the
time of ordering of the MPT.
Before mounting the MPT, connect the transformer, the input
and output devices, and the network cable to the appropriate
ports.
Caution! The MPT device weighs 7 pounds. Prepare the
mounting hardware in accordance with the instructions
supplied with the type of mounting hardware selected to
securely support the load.
To stationary mount the MPT 9600:
1. Fasten the Epic mounting bracket to a ¾” thick particle
board or stronger material, using #12 – ¾” wood screws.
If using a workstation platform, install as appropriate.
2. Verify that the adapter is attached to the back of the MPT.
This adapter has four “L” shaped slots.
3. Align the large part of the “L” with the mounting tabs on
the mounting bracket or workstation platform.
4. Push the MPT onto the bracket until the tabs touch the
bottom of the “L” slots, then slide the MPT to the right until
it stops. Let the unit drop into place.
5. Lock the MPT in place by sliding the retaining bracket down
onto the top of the terminal and tightening the locking
screw.

data. It has many optional peripherals, including barcode
reader, SVGA monitor, USB devices, EIA232 devices, USB
keyboard and mouse, and digital I/O.
The MPT 9600 device is typically networked to an MXE™ Data
Collection Server or P3 Collaborative Manufacturing Execution
system, via a 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection.
Caution! Use only your fingers to touch the screen. Do not use
the barcode wand or any hard pointed object, as this will damage
the screen.
