8680i User Guide 25
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for
the setting (from 0-100) from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 235.
Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero causes
the 8680i to try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 2-29)
expires. When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero
causes the 8680i to only attempt linking one time after a trigger press.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link
the 8680i to a host typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the 8680i
is actually attempting a contact. Relink Time-Out controls the amount of time, in
seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of
the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of 8680is that are
connected to a host. An extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is
successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the set-
ting (from 1-100) from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 235. Scan Save
to save the setting. Default = 3 seconds.
Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values
When the 8680i goes out of range, the 8680i repeatedly attempts to connect to the
host. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by
3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the 8680i powers off and data is lost.
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the 8680i goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the host. Each
attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds
of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the 8680i stops trying
to connect to the host. After one hour, the 8680i powers off and data is lost.
