General Information

The Intermec 5055 Data Collection PC is a powerful real­time computer designed for warehouse and automated ma­terial handling environments. Although the computer is
intended for data collection, it contains a modern high­speed Pentium processor and has full PC capabilities. De­pending upon your requirements, this computer may be
equipped with an integrated r adio for total mobility. The
standard Ethernet
a local area network (LAN).

SECTION 1

allows hardwire connection to

All computer electronics, the radio module, and the large
display are housed within a single metal container. A dc--dc
power converter can be remotely mounted on a vehicle to
ensure a stable power source in mobile applications. Fixed-­mount computers (i.e., those connected to a local area net-­work) have a separate ac--dc power supply.

Installation

The Intermec 5055 Data Collection PC installs easily on
vertical or horizontal surfaces using one of several adjust-­able mounting brackets.

SECTION 1

Introduction

Mobile Computer: How it Works

Wireless data collection PCs are “real-time“ devices because
the computer tracks inventory movement on the go. When
you enter data into the unit, the integrated radio module
transmits that information to a base unit or

access point

From there, information goes to a host computer. If the
entry was a request for information, the host transmits the
response to the computer that made the request. These

real-time

data transactions ensure that the most current
information is available to the host computer and to all mo-­bile units. Figure 1-1 shows a basic LAN system to aid
your understanding of the local area network concept.

CAUTION: Use spinning-media PC Cards for fixed-mount applications

only.

WARNING: Both edges of PC cards must be in the correct grooves in the

drive to avoid damage to the card or to the computer.

WARNING: To prevent damaged pins, do NOT force PC cards or the IDE

drive into their respective slots.

Card/Drive Slots

SECTION 1

Remove the antenna connector panel to access the card/
drive slots. When reinstalling the panel, carefully dress an­tenna cables into the slots to guard against damage.

miniature (2.5 inch) IDE type drives to this bay. The metal
carrier has a tab that securely holds the drive in place.

PC Card Slots (PCMCIA)

These user-accessible slots (0 and 1) are for PC Card de­vices. Each 68-pin slot can accommodate a Type I, II, or III
device.

Radio Antenna Connectors (RF)

All connector locations are shown, however one or more of
them may be p lugged depending upon the radio(s) in your

Section 2

Operation

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

This section tells you how to prepare the computer for first­time operation and includes instructions for attaching or
installing certain options or peripheral equipment. Once
the computer has successfully booted to the operating sys­tem you may need to load an application program or data.

Startup Requirements

Before powering up the computer for the first time, be sure
it is securely mounted, that all cable connections are secure,
and that the DC power input cable is firmly attached. The
computer begins its startup (“boot”) sequence when power
is supplied to the DC power input connector and the On/Off
switch is
an AC-powered (fixed-mount) computer, the power supply
must be connected to the computer and plugged into a wall
outlet. Vehicle mounts require that the dc-dc power con­verter be properly connected to the vehicle batteries and to
the computer.

ON

(press the 1 side of the switch). In the case of

Operation

Startup Sequence

Your computer should start up after all connections have
been made to the unit, power has been applied, and the On/
Off switch has been moved to the
side of the switch). During startup, the computer (1) per­forms a power-on self-test, (2) runs the hardware initializa­tion program, and (3) boots the operating system.

Once the computer starts up (“boots”) successfully, you may
load additional application software if this has not already
been done for you. If you install a radio or other optional
device, you may have to install driver software or make
new system setups for the device(s) to work properly.

illustrations that follow will help you perform these instal­lations if they have not already been done.

Hard Drive I nstallation

An adapter is required to install a spinning media hard
drive. Refer to the accompanying illustrations and the fol­lowing instructions to attach the adapter to your drive.

1. Install the jumper exactly as shown.

2. Place the drive in the adapter as shown.

3. Align the connector-end of the drive and the adapter.

The following pages provide illustrated installation instruc­tions f or each of those components. Install each component
in the order these instructions are presented.

Internal Antenna Cable Installation

Typically, the radio PC card module comes with the internal
antenna cable attached to it. The free end is a threaded
connector which must be installed in the antenna connector
panel. Refer to Figure 2-2, item #4 for an example of how
this cable is routed and installed. Follow the instructions
below to install connectors in the drive bay cover. It is as­sumed that the PC card radio module has just been
installed in the computer and the drive bay cover has not
been reinstalled.

1. Choose a mounting hole in the antenna connector pan­el that allows you to dress the cable to its full length.

2. Remove the plug from that hole in the antenna con­nector panel.

3. Slip the t hreaded connector through the hole.

4. Place a shaker type washer onto the connector.

5. Thread a nut onto the connector. Tighten securely.
Take care NOT to overtighten the nut to prevent
breaking the connector.

6. Reinstall the antenna connector panel.

Multiple Antennas

Certain radio types may use two antennas to enhance the
performance of that particular radio. This is evident when
a PC card radio has two antenna cables attached to it. If
two antennas serve a single radio, locate them at opposite
ends of the antenna mounting bracket. A third antenna
can be installed in the remaining center hole.

See the preceding page for general antenna installation in­structions. The illustration below is a guideline for instal­ling multiple antennas

Patch Antenna

The 2.4 GHz “patch” antenna can be mounted on a wall us­ing either screws or small patches of adhesive-backed hook­and-loop fastener material. Since system performance and
antenna polarization is site-dependent, a permanent
mounting location and orientation may require some exper­imentation. In most fixed installations the antenna should
initially be mounted in a vertically polarized position: e.g.,
with the cable from the antenna parallel to the floor/ceiling.

In mobile installations, best performance will be achieved
by mounting the antenna flat,
cage. Use at least two screws to hold the antenna in place.

even when it is not properly configured. Therefore, proper
operation of the tethered laser is no indication that the la ­ser is correctly configured for the scanner driver 65SCN7B.
