1.  Turn off the host device. 

 

2.  Plug the 10-pin RJ45 male end of the 

PowerLink cable into 10-pin socket on 
the MS1890.  There will be an audible 
click when the connector lock engages. 

 

3.  Slide the protective cable boot up the 

cable, over the connector and onto the 
end of scanner handle. 

 

4.  Disconnect the keyboard from the host 

device. 

 

5.  Connect the “Y” ends of the 

communication cable to the keyboard 
and keyboard port on the host device. 
If necessary, use the male/female 
adapter cable supplied with the scanner 
for proper connections. 

 

6.  Plug the external power supply 

(required) into the power jack on the 
PowerLink cable. 

 

Check the AC input requirements 
of the power supply to verify the 
voltage matches the AC outlet.   
The outlet must be located near the 
equipment and be easily accessible. 

7.  Connect AC power to the transformer. 

 

8.  The MS1890 will start to initialize.  All LEDs (yellow, white, and blue) will 

light for approximately 2 seconds then start to flash alternately.  When the 
scanner has finished initializing the LEDs will stop flashing and the unit will 
beep 3 times indicating that the scanner is ready for use.  

 

9.  Turn on the host device. 

 

Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee that 
scanned information will be communicated properly to the host system.  The 
scanner is shipped from the factory configured with default settings.   
Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide  
(

MLPN 

00-02544) or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on changing the 

scanner’s configuration.  In addition, please check that the scanner and host 
system are using the same communication protocol.
