26 Configuring the MX2
MX2 Reference Guide E-EQ-MX2RG-L-ARC
Configuring the MX2
If your unit is not already configured for use when you get it, please refer to “Radio PC Card
Configuration”, later in this chapter and also to Chapter 3, “Software Configuration”.
You can also scan barcodes with the MX2 to change MX2 configuration settings. For more
information, please refer to the “Integrated Scanner Programming Guide for DOS Devices”,
available on the LXE Manuals CD-ROM.
Troubleshooting - Enable I 2 of 5
Problem
The MX2 configuration does not retain “Enable I 2 of 5” after power down. Note that this is an
isolated incident and that the default MX2 with scanner configuration automatically enables Code
39, I 2 of 5, Codabar/Ames, Code 128, UPC-A and EAN/JAN.
Solution
Create a file containing the actual character string of the barcode used to set that particular
parameter. The character strings are printed under the barcode in the “Integrated Scanner
Programming Guide for DOS Devices”, available on the LXE Manuals CD-ROM – do not add the
asterisks to the character string. Any number of setup strings can be used, one per line in the file
used. After the file is created, copy the contents to the device PARAMS when the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file is loaded.
For example, the setup string to enable I 2 of 5 is $+$-151EE.
1. Create an ASCII file – CUSTPARM.TXT – that contains the following line:
$+$-151EE
2. Place the following line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and the command will be run each time
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is run:
COPY CUSTPARM.TXT PARAMS
Transferring Files
To transfer data or program files, connect your MX2 to the host computer with any of the
following accessories:
• Serial cable
• Single Dock
Your software application may have simple file-transfer options, or you can use the REMDISK
and REMSERV utilities.
For more information on REMSERV and REMDISK, please refer to Chapter 4, “Commands”.
