Digital Scanner(s) To Cradle Support
Modes of Operation
Parameter # 538 (SSI # F1h 1Ah)
The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the digital scanner
to communicate wirelessly:
•
Point-to-Point
•
Multipoint-to-Point.
Point-to-Point Communication
In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one digital scanner to connect to it at a time. In this mode,
the digital scanner is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is enabled, page
4-29), or by scanning the PAIR bar code. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or in a lock override
state (see Pairing Modes on page 4-27). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by scanning a connection
maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-31.
To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point.
Multipoint-to-Point Communication
Multipoint-to-Point communication mode allows up to seven digital scanners to pair to one cradle.
To activate this mode, the first digital scanner connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar code.
This mode allows a parameter broadcast ( page 4-27) feature that forwards parameter bar code settings to all
connected digital scanners. In this mode, programming one digital scanner applies the settings to all connected
digital scanners.
To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.
