Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)
Parameter # 148
When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned
to all other linear imager scanners in the piconet. If disabled, parameter bar codes are processed by the
individual linear imager scanner only, and the linear imager scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other
linear imager scanners or from the cradle.
Pairing
Pairing is the process by which a linear imager scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning
Multipoint-to-Point activates multi linear imager scanner-to-cradle operation and allows up to three linear
imager scanners to pair to one cradle for the CR0078-S and up to seven linear imager scanners for the
CR0078-P.
To pair the linear imager scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing bar code. A high/low/high/low beep
sequence indicates that the pairing bar code was decoded. When a connection between the cradle and linear
imager scanner is established, a low/high beep sounds.
NOTE When Parameter Broadcast is disabled on one scanner in the piconet, Parameter Broadcast is disabled
on all scanners in the piconet.

NOTE 1. The pairing bar code that connects the linear imager scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
2. Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.
3. When the linear imager scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the linear
imager scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is
due to the radio losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.
