Accessories for the Reader

You can use these accessories with the JANUS 2010 reader:

JD2010 Communications Dock The dock allows the reader to communicate

with a host computer and other devices through two serial ports, while

simultaneously charging the NiCad battery pack in the reader. The dock also

has a slot to charge a spare NiCad battery pack.

JZ2010 Battery Charger The charger lets you charge up to four NiCad battery

packs at one time. The battery charger senses when a battery pack is fully

charged and will not overcharge it.

JL2010 Optical Link Adapter The optical link adapter allows the reader to

communicate with a host computer or other device by means of an RS-232

serial port. You can also connect a power supply to the optical link adapter to

operate the reader and charge the NiCad battery pack.

Wands and Scanners You can attach a wand or scanner to enter bar code data

with the reader. For a list of input devices you can use, see “Attaching a

Wand or Scanner” later in this chapter.

2010U.084

COM2 Hardware Adapter The COM2 hardware (serial) adapter (Part No.

061799) lets you use the scanner port as COM2 if you do not need an input

device.

PC Cards Intermec has certified third-party Type I and Type II PC cards,

including memory, modem, and network cards. Memory cards you use in the

JANUS reader provide additional disk storage space, not executable

conventional memory. Contact your local Intermec sales representative for

ordering information.

Cables You may need to purchase cables for serial data communications

between the reader and peripheral devices. For help, see “Physical and

Environmental Specifications” in Appendix A.

JANUS 2010 Models and Options

The JANUS family of 2010 readers includes these models:

J2010 The basic reader is a combination hand-held programmable data

collection computer. The reader has a Type I PC card drive for Type I memory

cards and uses a serial port for data communications.

J2010 with 900 MHz RF Back or JG2010 with 2.4 GHz Radio This reader

complements the functionality of the basic reader with an optional RF back,

which allows the reader to communicate with a host computer over a radio

frequency (RF) network.

J2010 with a PCMCIA Back This reader complements the functionality of the

basic reader with an optional Type II PC card drive that accepts Type I or

Type II memory and I/O cards.

These options are available for all the reader models:

• Alphanumeric keypad that is available in English, French, German, Italian,

and Spanish.

• Large numeric keypad that is available in English.

• Terminal emulation (TE) software and keypads that let the reader emulate

an IBM 3270 or 5250 terminal (or display station).

• Radio frequency communications available for 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz

networks.

This manual tells you how to use the basic features in all models of the JANUS

reader. Special information about TE and RF are included in the quick reference

guides that are shipped with this manual or with your 2.4 GHz installation kit.
