At first theuser application must be loaded before the terminal can be used for barcode scanning.Tools for developing a user application on thePC for use on the terminal, as supplied byOpticon are:Application Generator PotStar (Limited or Professional)C language: Microtec ANSI-C compiler and C library for handheld terminals.The user application must be downloadedfrom the PC into the terminal. You can use thecradle, an RS232 cable or an infrared adapterfor communication between the terminal andthe PC. A program on the PC will send theuser application to the terminal, where it isstored in FlashROM memory.When the functionality of the terminal is definedby the application it is ready for operation.In a typical application you will press the triggerkey and scan a bar code label as described inthe next chapter. Scanned data and dataentered from the keyboard is stored in theterminal's RAM. The user application can usethis data in subsequent steps.The collected data can be transmitted to the PCfor further processing. For data transmissionyou can use the cradle, an RS232 cable or aninfrared adapter to connect the terminal to thePC.Exercise caution at all times when working with AC-powered equipment.Turn off your devices before installation.Because of the special pin-out of the connectors, use the cables supplied by the manufacturer.When you need another cable for a certain device, that is not supplied,contact your supplier to purchase the right cable. In case another cable is used, take notice of the pin-out specifications further in this manual.Connection sequencefor single cradle:Place the cradle in normal office conditions, avoid a place under strong light.Disconnect the power supply.Set the required DIPswitches for baud rate and function.Connect the interface cables.Connect the power supply.Place the PHL2700 terminal in the cradle.!!!!2.6.1Terminal to computer2.6.2Single cradle to computer2.6.3Cradle networkConnection sequencefor cradle in network:Set all cradles to the same baud rate (by DIPswitch)Only 1 cradle in the network will be connected to the PC through one RS232 cable.
