2. Connect the HOST USB port to an acceptor (for example, an LCD display

with a USB port).

3. If required, you can connect a PC and/or controller to the RS-232 terminal

block (see Section 5.1

For best results we recommend that you use high quality USB

cables

4. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
