RF Features
Automatic Configuration Update
When this feature is enabled, the base station and reader will keep their config-
urations synchronized. If a reader's configuration is altered by reading pro-
gramming labels, this change is automatically transferred and updated in a
linked base station. Likewise, if the base station's configuration is changed
using Aladdin or by host commands, then the reader's configuration will auto-
matically be updated if this feature is enabled.
RF Address Stamping
Source Radio Address Delimiter Character
This option specifies the delimiter character to be placed between the label
data and radio address when address stamping is enabled.
Follow these instructions to select the delimiter character:
1. Determine the desired character, then find its hexadecimal equivalent on
the
ASCII Chart
on the inside back cover. A setting of 00 specifies no delim-
iter character.
2. Go to
page 267
and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to
enter Programming Mode.
3. Scan the bar code: SET SOURCE RADIO ADDRESS DELIMITER CHARACTER.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
Appendix D, Keypad
, that
represent the hexadecimal characters which were determined in the steps
above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit.
Table 24. Source Radio Address Delimiter Character Setting Examples
NOTE
This feature only applies if
"Source Radio Address Transmission"
on page 266 is
enabled.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar code to abort and not
save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
