1. turn off the host system.
2. connect the round end of the powerlink rs232 aux cable [ mlpn 54-54667a ] to the rs232 jack of the auxiliary scanner (see figure 7).
3. connect the other end of the powerlink rs232 aux cable into the 1↑st jack from the left side of the ms7320. the aux jack has a square opening.
the following metrologic scanners can be used in the "aux" input of the ms7320: the ms9520, ms9540, ms6220, ms7120, ms6520, ms6720, ms7220 or another ms7320.
the ms7320 aux port requires the signals: transmit, receive, rts & cts from the auxiliary scanner.
4. connect the ms7320/host powerlink↑* cable to the appropriate interface jack on the back of the ms7320.
5. connect the other end of the ms7320/host powerlink cable to the host.
6. connect the external power supplies for the auxiliary scanner and the ms7320 to the power jacks on the two powerlink cables.
before continuing verify that the powerlink cables are connected to the appropriate interface jacks on the scanner. an incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner.
7. check the ac input requirements of both power supplies to make sure the voltage matches the ac outlets.
8. snap on the cable cover.
9. connect ac power to the transformers. the outlets should be near the equipment and easily accessible.
10. configure the ms7320 for the appropriate interface configuration settings.↑*
continued on page 12.
* the ms7320/host cable connection is interface dependent. refer to the installation steps provided for the type of interface required for your application.
1、to maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for selv (safety extra low voltage) according to en 60950.
2、to maintain compliance with standard csa c22.2 no. 60950-00/ul 60950 and norm en 60950, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
11. configure the auxiliary scanner to send formatted data to the ms7320. normal slave mode operation will only require reserve code 32 to be set in the auxiliary scanner. the following bar code applies for all scanners, except the ms6720, to be used as an auxiliary scanner. contact a metrologic representative for additional information on the ms6720.

metrologic recommends disabling the beeper on the auxiliary scanner. refer to 'beeper options' in the communications section of the metroselect configuration guide (mlpn 00-02407a-1 & -2).
12. configure the ms7320 to activate the auxiliary port. enable the auxiliary port and configure it to recognize slave formatted data with the following bar code:

13. turn on the host system.
