Opticon scanner setup

If you are planning to use the EventBox to assign and unassign Opticon barcode scanners to exhibitors, you will have to connect a scanner cradle (or ‘docking station’) to the EventBox. We use two types of cradles:

• a cradle with multiple slots (6-8), a USB cable and separate power adapter;
• a cradle with just one slot and a USB cable.

The first type needs to be connected to both the EventBox (via the USB cable) and an electrical outlet (via the separate power adapter). The second type only needs to be connected to the EventBox; it receives its power from the EventBox’s USB port.

Set up the EventBox and the scanner cradle according to the following procedure to ensure that both devices function properly.
