Scanner(s) To Cradle Support

Modes of Operation

The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the scanner to
communicate wirelessly:

Point-to-Point

Multipoint-to-Point.

Point-to-Point Communication

In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one scanner to connect to it at a time. In this mode, the
scanner is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is enabled,

page 4-23

), or by

scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or in a lock override
state (see

Pairing Modes on page 4-22

). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by scanning a

connection

maintenance interval bar code beginning on

page 4-24

.

To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point.

Multipoint-to-Point Communication

In Multipoint-to-Point communication mode, up to three scanners can be paired to one cradle.

To activate this mode, the first scanner connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar code. This
mode allows a parameter broadcast (

page 4-21

) that clones all scanners paired to the cradle so only one scanner

needs to be programmed.

To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.
