In a computer terminal an electronic device allows the selection of the terminal address and baud rate via a DIP switch (Dual In-Line Package) located internally in the terminal or via external selection means by allowing the setting of signal line voltage level by means of jumper wires in a communication connector. To enable the external option, predetermined pins in the communications connector are jumpered to disable the DIP switch, whose settings are then ignored. By jumpering other predetermined pins in the communications connector, the signal line levels define the terminal address and the terminal baud rate.

A data entry terminal includes a front panel, a shroud and a base plate. The terminal may be assembled as a desk mounted unit or a wall mounted unit, depending upon the orientation of the front panel to the shroud and base plate.

Wall or desk mounted data collection terminal

A data entry terminal for use in a hostile environment is sealed from the outside environment. The terminal has a housing made up of a front panel, shroud and base plate that are fastened together in two different orientations to facilitate desk top and wall mounting, and electronic equipment is mounted inside the terminal enclosure. A fan circulates air around the inside of the terminal enclosure for cooling the electronic equipment inside. The enclosure base acts as a heat sink to transfer the heat to the outside environment in whatever position the terminal is mounted.

A mounting bracket system mounts a factory data collection terminal vertically to a wall to secure the terminal rigidly to the wall surface and also to permit a quick disconnect of the terminal. This is accomplished by fastening two brackets with keyhole slots which are attached to the upper area of the terminal and using two spring loaded captive fasteners which are accessible from the front of the terminal and attached to the bottom of the terminal.

In a computer factory data collection terminal an electrical conduit enclosure for permitting wiring to be brought up through the conduit to the factory data collection terminal and for providing full wiring protection while still permitting the terminal to be installed or detached without opening the unit. A conduit enclosure having a base, cover, conduit fittings and special data and address signal connector and power connections is detachably mounted below the data collection terminal.
