4 - 24 DS8178 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Auto-Reconnect
Parameter # 604 (SSI # F1h 5Ch)
In Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID) mode, SPP Master, and Cradle Host Mode, select a re-connect option for
when the digital scanner loses its connection with a remote device:
•
Auto-Reconnect on Bar Code Data: The digital scanner auto-reconnects when you scan a bar code. With
this option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters. The digital scanner sounds a decode
beep upon bar code scan, followed by a connection, a page timeout, a rejection beep, or a transmission error
beep. Select this option to optimize battery life on the digital scanner and mobile device. Note that
auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.
•
Auto-Reconnect Immediately: When the digital scanner loses connection, it attempts to reconnect. If a
page timeout occurs, the digital scanner attempts reconnect on a trigger pull. Select this option if the digital
scanner battery life is not an issue and you do not want a delay to occur when the first bar code is
transmitted. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.
•
Disable Auto-Reconnect: When the digital scanner loses connection, you must re-establish it manually.
Out of Range Indicator
An out of range indicator can be set by scanning Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt (1) on page 4-22 and
extending the time using the Reconnect Attempt Interval on page 4-23.
For example, with Beep on Reconnect Attempt disabled while the digital scanner loses radio connection when it is
taken out of range, the digital scanner attempts to reconnect silently during the time interval set by scanning a
Reconnect Attempt Interval.
When Beep on Reconnect Attempt is enabled, the digital scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds while the
re-connection attempt is in progress. If the Reconnect Attempt Interval is adjusted to a longer period of time, such
as 30 minutes, the digital scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds for 30 minutes providing an out of range
indicator.
