Configuring the RS-232 Device Port

Configuring the RS-232 Device Port

To configure the device port:
  1. Power off the MP72 (disconnect the power cable).
  2. Disconnect all RS-232 devices (scanner, Sensormatic, and/or dual cable scale).
  3. Power on the MP72 (reconnect the power cable).
  4. Scan the appropriate RS-232 Device Port Configuration barcode to select the devices and ports to attach to the MP72.
  5. Power off the MP72.
  6. Connect the appropriate devices.
    Ensure the devices connected to the MP72 correctly match the device port configuration option selected. For example, if option 1 is selected, ensure a dual cable scale is connected to the Aux 1 port and an RS-232 scanner is connected to the Aux 2 port. Powering on the MP72 with connected devices that do not match the selected option can result in communication failures.
  7. Power on the MP72.

Available configurations/options are:
  • *0 = Aux 1 Sensormatic, and Aux 2 Scanner
  • 1 = Aux 1 Dual Cable Scale and Aux 2 Scanner
  • 2 = Aux 1 Sensormatic, and Aux 2 Dual Cable Scale
  • 4 = Aux 1 Third Party Scale, Aux 2 Sensormatic
  • 5 = Aux 1 Sensormatic, and Aux 2 Disabled
  • 6 = Aux 1 Dual Cable Scale, and Aux 2 Disabled
  • 7 = Aux 1 Third Party Scale, and Aux 2 Disabled

Third Party Scale configurations only function on Zebra Bioptic systems sold without a scale (model numbers starting with MP7200-). Zebra Bioptic systems sold with a scale (model numbers starting with MP7201-, MP7202-, MP7203-, MP7204-) do not support Third Party Scale configurations.
