Changing the Host Interface
Changing the Host Interface
To connect to a different host or to use the same host through a different cable, disconnect from the current host and connect to the new one.
Unplug the interface cable from the host.
Unplug the power supply from the cradle.
Connect the interface cable to the new host or the new interface cable to the existing host.
Reconnect the power supply, if required.
If necessary, scan the appropriate host barcode (for non-autodetected interfaces).
