General Information
The Intermec 5055 Data Collection PC is a powerful real-
time computer designed for warehouse and automated ma-
terial handling environments. Although the computer is
intended for data collection, it contains a modern high-
speed Pentium processor and has full PC capabilities. De-
pending upon your requirements, this computer may be
equipped with an integrated radio for total mobility. The
standard Ethernet on board allows hardwire connection to
a local area network (LAN).
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
5055 Data Collection PC User’s Guide 1-3
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.

The Computer
The illustrations in this section will familiarize you with
external features of the Intermec 5055 Data Collection PC.
Figure 1-5 shows the AC Power Supply used with fixed-
mount units, while Figure 1-6 shows the DC-DC Power
Converter used in mobile mount installations.
All connectors that are part of the computer system are de-
scribed in detail in Section 4 of this manual.
The list below is presented here so that you will notice
these items as they are shown in the following pages. This
list is repeated in Section 2 because many of the problems
you are likely to encounter may result from overlooking one
or more of these items.
Each work day make sure that:
"Mounting knobs are tight.
"The DC power input cable is secure.
"The DC power output cable is secure.
"The AC power supply (fixed-mount) is plugged into the
wall.
"The On/Off switch is ON (press the 1 side of the switch
to enable power).
"The antenna connector(s) (if so equipped) is secure.
"The LAN connector (if so equipped) is secure.
"The scanner cable (if so equipped) is secure.
"LPT1, the printer cable (if so equipped) is secure.
