Installation
All versions of the SCANTEAM 6980 depend on an external
source of +5 DC power to operate. Since most RSĆ232
interface ports don't provide a power source, an external + 5
DC power supply must be plugged into the molded receptacle
in the SCANTEAM 6980's interface connector for all versions,
except the 6980-5 [.
The SCANTEAM 6980 is easily installed into a PC system in the
following steps:
1) Turn the system power off.
2) Connect the MSR cable to the PC's 9 pin D male RSĆ232
port.
3) Connect the 5 DC adaptor cable to the MSR and then plug
the 5 DC adaptor into a 120 vac receptacle.
4) The MSR can be mounted to the wall, the side of a PC, a
keyboard, or simply to a counter with the hook and loop
fastener strips included with the product. Alternatively, the
screws holding the bottom plastic case on the MSR may be
replaced with longer screws for mounting purposes.
5) Turn the system power on.
6) Configure your host device to accept RSĆ232 data on its
RSĆ232 port.
7) Test the SCANTEAM 6980's host interface configuration by
passing a magnetic stripe card through the SCANTEAM
6980. The magnetic stripe data should appear on your PC
screen. If the data does not appear on the screen, you may
have to modify the output data configuration of the
SCANTEAM 6980 (see page 6, Configuration Options).
[
The SCANTEAM 6980–5 will only operate when the host device supplies
power on pin 9 of its DB-9 RS-232 interface port.

Configuration Options: Dip Switch Controlled
The SCANTEAM 6980 contains a Dual InĆLine Package (DIP)
switch pack which is used to configure the operation of the
reader. The position of these switches are preĆset y Welch Allyn
and normally do not need to e changed y the user, unless the
host device's RSĆ232 communication parameters do not match
the SCANTEAM 6980's default settings (see page 8).
The DIP switches on the SCANTEAM 6980 control the following
host interface parameters:
“SS” and “ES” characters
This parameter allows the SS" and ES" characters encoded
on the magnetic stripe to e transmitted or not transmitted to
the host PC.
RS-232 Data Bit and Parity Selection
This parameter allows you to change the MSR's serial RSĆ232
output parameters for character data it count and parity.
The following selections are availa le:
•8 data its and no parity,
•7 data its and even parity, or
•7 data its and odd parity.
RS-232 Baud Rate Selection
This parameter allows you to change the MSR's serial RSĆ232
output parameters for aud rate. The following selections are
availa le:
•1200 ps ( its per second),
•2400 ps,
•9600 ps, or
•19200 ps.
Check Sum Selection
This parameter allows transmission of a checksum character
(or no check sum) after the track data sent y the MSR.
In order to access the DIP switch pack, the DIP switch cover
must e removed, exposing the switches.

In Programming mode, the following parameters are
programmable:
•communication parameters
•beeper enable/disable
•MSR track decode selection
Note: To set options in the “Programming” mode all commands MUST BE
typed in with an AT type keyboard.
Enabling or Disabling Track Configurations and / or Beeper
1. Turn off power to the SCANTEAM 6980. (If a PC provides
power to the MSR, then turn the PC off.)
2. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to OFF.
3. Turn on power to the MSR.
4. Run the software utility by typing the executable file name
at the command line. The executable file is that shown on
the SCANTEAM 6980 Programming tility disk received
with the MSR.
Example: A:\MENU100A.EXE
The disk is in drive A and the executable file name shown on
the disk is MEN 100A.EXE."
5. Follow the setup instructions on the disk:
•Select the COM port, baud rate, number of data bits and
parity. Communication parameters selected must match
those set by the switch selections of the MSR being
programmed.
•Select the track enable/disable configuration you need.
•Enable or disable the beeper.
6. Turn off power to the MSR.
7. Set MSR DIP switch position 8 to ON.
8. Reapply power to the MSR.
Note: Triple track enable/disable options are not available with a two track
MSR.
