2.4.1 Cable Shield Grounding
Except for the power cord, all cables routed through the cord grips must be shield grounded against the enclosure.
• Use hardware provided in the parts kit to install shielding clamps on the grounding bracket at the bottom of the enclosure
• Install only the necessary amount of shielding clamps for the cord grips to be used
• Remove the insulated jackets and shielding per the following instructions
Shielding Procedure
1. Install the shielding clamps on the grounding rail using the clamp screws. Finger tighten the screws at this time.
2. Route the cables through the cord grips and the shielding clamps to determine the cable lengths required to reach the
appropriate cable connectors.
3. Mark cables to remove the insulated jacket as described below for Foil Shielded Cables and Braid Shielded Cables.
Foil Shielded Cables
Figure 2-6. Foil Shielded Cable
1. Strip the insulated jacket and foil 1/2'' (15 mm) past the shielding clamp.
2. Strip another 1/2'' of the insulated jacket, leaving the foil shielding exposed.
3. Fold the foil shielding back on the cable where the cable passes through the clamp.
4. Ensure the silver (conductive) side of the foil is turned outward.
5. Wrap the shield wire around the cable, ensuring it contacts the foil where the cable passes through the clamp.
6. Torque the shielding clamp screw to 10 in-lb (1.1 N-m), ensuring the clamp is around the cable and contacting the
shield wire.

2.4.7 Micro USB Device Communications
The Micro USB port, J7 connector (Section 2.5 on page 10), is intended to be connected to a PC only. It appears as a Virtual
COM Port and is assigned a “COMx” designation. Applications communicate through the port like a standard RS-232
communications port.
The driver must be installed on the PC before the Micro USB device port can be used. With the PC and 680 powered on, connect
a USB cable from the PC to the micro USB connector (J7) on the 680. The PC recognizes if a device has been connected, and
attempts to install the driver needed to make it work. The driver can also be downloaded from the Rice Lake website.
If using Windows 7 or later and the PC is connected to the Internet, the operating system may be able to install the
drivers automatically.
When the individual drivers are installed, a new COM Port designation is assigned for each physical USB port the 680 is
connected to on the PC.
For example, if the PC has two physical RS-232 COM Ports, they most likely are designated COM1 and COM2. When
connecting the 680 to a USB port on the PC, it is assigned the next available port designation, or in this case, COM3. When
plugging into the same physical USB port on the PC, the port designation is again COM3. If plugging into another physical USB
port on the PC, it is assigned the next available designation, in this case COM4.
After the drivers are installed, use Windows® Device Manager to determine the COM Port designation which was assigned to
the USB port, or open the application to be used with the 680, such as Revolution, to see which ports are available.
Configuration of the Micro USB port is done in the USBCOM sub-menu under PORTS in setup mode.
The port can be configured as either a demand port for EDP commands and printing, or as a data streaming port. Other settings
include the termination character(s), echoes, responses, the end-of-line delay and whether or not the 680 displays a 'print'
message when a print format sends data out the port.
If a computer application has an open communications connection through the Micro USB device port and the
physical cable connection is interrupted, a soft reset must be performed on the 680 or the power must be cycled to
the 680; the connection in the computer application must be disconnected and then reconnected before it continues
to communicate with the 680.
For the Micro USB device port, it does not matter what the settings are for Baud, Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits in the
computer software. The port communicates in the same way regardless of these settings.
This port is not a host port and is not intended to be connected to other devices such as keyboards, memory sticks
or printers.

2.4.8 Ethernet
The 680 features Ethernet TCP/IP 10Base-T/100Base-TX communication using the J8 connector (Section 2.5 on page 10),
and can support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other as a client.
Through an Ethernet network, software applications can communicate with the 680 using the EDP command set (Section 7.0
on page 44), or data can be streamed continuously from the 680, or printed on demand.
The Ethernet port supports both DHCP and manual configuration of settings such as the IP and netmask. In addition, the TCP
Port number, and the Default Gateway can be configured using the Ethernet sub-menu of the Ports setup menu. For more
information on configuring the Ethernet port see Section 4.4.4.3 on page 30.
Physical connection to the 680 Ethernet port can be made directly from a PC to the 680 (AdHoc Network), or through a network
router or switch. The port supports auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cable configuration, allowing either straight-through or crossover
cables to be used. See Table 2-7 for the pin assignments for the J8 connector.
When looking into the enclosure from the backside of the indicator, pin 1 of the J8 connector is at the bottom.
See Table 2-8 and Table 2-9 for the pin assignments when connecting a RJ45 Ethernet cable to the J8 connector. There are
two Ethernet wire standards (T568A and T568B). If the type of cable is unknown, use the wiring option in Table 2-8. The auto-
sensing feature of the Ethernet port allows either of the wiring options to work. Trim the unused wires to get them out of the way.

2.6 Backplate Attachment
Once work inside of the enclosure is complete, reattach the backplate ground wire to the backplate. Position the backplate over
the enclosure and install the ten backplate screws. Use the torque pattern in Figure 2-9 to prevent distorting the backplate
gasket. Torque screws to 15 in-lb (1.7 N-m).
Figure 2-9. Backplate Torque Pattern
Torqued screws may become less tight as the gasket is compressed during the torque pattern; a second torque is
required using the same pattern and torque value.
