Endcaps
The MX1 can be configured with several different endcaps. Endcaps are mounted on the top of
the computer case and contain the beeper. All endcaps use ZIF connectors to maintain permanent
connection between the endcap and the MX1.
If a Scanner or RS-232 endcap is not required the MX1 should be fitted with a plain endcap. It
provides a seal against dirt and moisture and houses the beeper.
For more information on installing endcaps refer to Chapter 1, “Introduction”, section titled
“Installing Accessories”. See the “Integrated Scanner Programming Guide”, available on the LXE
Manuals CD-ROM, for barcodes when setting up scanner parameters for the scanner endcaps.
COM1 / COM2
The optional endcap with an RS-232 serial port, when installed in the MX1, is COM1.
A MX1 scanner endcap is COM1.
A MX1 scanner / RS232 endcap is COM1.
The MX1’s IR Port is COM2.
When an MX1 (without the RS-232 serial endcap installed) is in the MX1 Docking Cradle, that
has a Power/Communications Module attached, the Cradle’s RS-232 serial port is COM2.
When an MX1 (with the RS-232 serial endcap installed) is in the MX1 Docking Cradle, that has a
Power/Communications Module attached, the MX1’s endcap RS-232 serial port takes precedence
over the Cradle’s RS-232 serial port.
The COM1 port uses Data Carrier Detect and Ring Indicator as computer wake-up events only.
The COM2 port supports two signals, Receive Data and Transmit Data.
