8680i User Guide 37
Device Name
You may assign a name to each 8680i you are using for identification purposes. For
example, you may want to have a unique identifier for an 8680i that is receiving
specific commands sent from the host.
The default name is in the format “Honeywell-8680i-SN-############ (12
digit serial number)”. If you have more than one 8680i linked to a host and they all
have the same name, the first 8680i linked to the host receives commands. When
renaming a series of 8680is with identical names, unlink all except one of the
8680is from the host.
Perform the rename operation using either the bar codes on page 38, or by send-
ing the serial command :DeviceName:BT_NAMNewName. where DeviceName is
the current name of the 8680i, and NewName is the new name for the 8680i. If you
wish to change the names of additional 8680is, link them one at a time and repeat
the :DeviceName:BT_NAMNewName. command for each 8680i.
To rename 8680is with sequential numeric names, scan the bar codes below. Scan
the Reset code after each name change and wait for the 8680i to relink to the host
before scanning a bar code to rename the next 8680i.
