Serial Cable Selection
Serial Cables
Stand-alone and eavesdrop are the two standard types of serial configurations. Stand-alone denotes a decoder connected
to a computer’s serial port. An eavesdrop installation places the decoder between a terminal and a host computer in a
multi-use system.
Stand-Alone
A stand-alone configuration connects a decoder directly to a computer ’s serial port. It requires a single length of cable with
a connector on each end. Datalogic cable part numbers can be determined for each installation by answering the following
questions:
1. What gender connector is on the computer (serial port)?
m (male)
F (Female)
2. Which pin has data coming out of the computer (serial port)?
3. Is the computer’s serial port an IBM AT 9-pin inte face?
Locate the appropriate serial cable by matching your answers to these questions, to this chart below.
Serial Input Software
For a stand-alone serial configuration, the host computer must be programmed to receive serial data input. Many
applications have this option built in. Datalogic offers Barcom for MS-DOS computers, which is a 2K Novell-compatible
memory-resistant (TSR) program that makes serial input appear as if typed on the computer’s keyboard. It does not require
other software changes.
