Introduction
Congratulations on selecting Intermec to help meet your data collection needs. You
have chosen the world leader in the data collection industry.
The TRAKKERAntares2455 (T2455) is a programmable vehicle-mount data
collection terminal that communicates in Intermec’s 2.4 GHz radio frequency (RF)
network. You use these programmable terminals to run either client/server applications
or terminal emulation.
The T2455 provides wireless communications to a host either through the access points
and DCS 300 or directly through the access points. The T2455 also has a serial port to
communicate with other devices via RS-232 serial communications.
Note: The T2455 will communicate with either the DCS 300 or the Model 200
Controller. The DCS 300 is a new data collection server that replaces the Model 200
Controller.

Accessories for the Terminal
You can use these accessories (sold and ordered separately) with the TRAKKER
Antares 2455 vehicle-mount terminal:
AC power supply
Use the AC power supply (Part No. 065236) to power the terminal
when it is in the desktop mounting stand. The AC power supply is only for use in clean,
dry office-like environments with temperatures from 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).
The power supply comes with a North American power cord. If you are using the
terminal outside North America, you need to purchase the appropriate power cord for
your local power source.
AC power supply adapter cable
Use the AC power supply adapter cable (Part No.
066842) to connect the AC power supply to the T2455.
DC power supply
There are two DC power supply kits that you can use to power the
terminal when it is mounted to a vehicle:
•Low-voltage input kit (10 to 36 VDC) (Part No. 067698)
•High-voltage input kit (15 to 96 VDC) (Part No. 067699)
Desktop mounting stand
The desktop mounting stand (Part No. 067431) attaches to
your terminal to provide a stable desktop platform. The desktop mounting stand is
useful when you have the terminal connected to your PC to develop applications.
Keyboard
The alphanumeric keyboard (Part No. 067028) supports a subset of the keys
that are available on a PC-AT keyboard. The terminal ships with a keyboard overlay to
match the application or language you ordered. There are five alphanumeric keypad
overlay options: English, Western European, and three terminal emulation options.
Keyboard adapter cable
The adapter cable (Part No. 066848) allows you to use a
standard PC-AT keyboard for customer applications and system configuration on the
terminal. You can attach the adapter cable to the keyboard cable connector and to
the T2455.
Note: You must use the T2455 keyboard accessory with Intermec terminal emulation
applications.
Laser scanner cables
Use the laser scanner cables to connect a scanning device such
as the 1517, 1518, 1519, 1550, and 1551 laser scanners. For help ordering the
appropriate laser scanner cable, see “Specifications” later in this guide.
Portable printer cables
Use the specific portable printer cable to connect a
Codewriter 4102 (Part No. 067642) or an O’Neil MicroFlash3 printer (Part No.
067643) to the COM1 serial port.
RS-232 null-modem adapter cable
The adapter cable (Part No. 066847) allows you
to communicate with other RS-232 devices, such as scales, PCs, and printers, through
the COM1 serial port.
