DCS 301
Getting Started Guide
P/N 070680-002

The Data Collection Server 301 (DCS 301) lets data collection devices
(UDP Plus, TCP/IP) that are running the Intermec Data Collection
Browser™ (dcBrowser™) client send information to and receive data from
hosts that are connected to the Internet, IP hosts, and a serial host.
dcBrowser clients can communicate
• through a Web server to connected hosts. The DCS 301 tells the Web
server which HTML page to send to a dcBrowser client and which host
receives the client’s data.
• through the legacy Native sockets interface to IP hosts that are connected
to the Ethernet network.
• to a legacy Native async serial host that is serially-connected to the
DCS 301.
WTP devices can continue to use the Native client to communicate through
the DCS 301 to Native hosts. You do not need to load the dcBrowser client.
The DCS 301 provides a migration path from a Native environment (serial
or socket) to a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) application develop-
ment environment.
Congratulations!
You have chosen another outstanding Intermec product to help meet your

Getting Started
The DCS 301 ships with a U.S. power cord, 100-120 VAC. If you need
another power cord, contact your local Intermec representative.
You may want to plug the power cord into a surge protector or an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS). Intermec requires that you use a surge
protector in locations that use 115 VAC. Intermec recommends that you use
a UPS in locations that have wide variations in AC power. In case of a
power failure, the UPS provides enough backup power to allow you to
properly shut down the DCS 301 and minimize the loss of data.
1. Locate the AC in port on the rear panel of the DCS 301.
2. Insert the DCS 301 power cord 3-pin connector into the AC in port.
3. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC power outlet, a surge
protector, or a UPS.
4. Physically connect the DCS 301 to the Ethernet network.

301 IP Address” in Chapter 2 of the DCS 301 User’s Guide.
7. Configure the DCS 301 for the Ethernet network. For help, see the
online help.
8. Configure the DCS 301 for the Intermec data collection environment
(TCP/IP, UDP Plus, WTP). For help, see the online help.
9. Configure the DCS 301 for the host environment parameters (dcBrowser
or legacy Native TE applications). For help, see the online help.
