2.3. Wireless options
This section is intended to configure a wireless
connection to an Opticon cradle and third party
dongles. Options are available to minimize the
reader’s power consumption and to maximize
working time and enable secure data
exchange.
Default Bluetooth connection:
By default the reader is configured to connect
to the Opticon cradle. Simply read the twelve
character Bluetooth address label on the
bottom of the cradle. The reader automatically
connects to the cradle and automatically
configures the pin code, authentication and
encryption.
Default IEEE 802.15.4 connection:
By default the reader is configured to connect
to the Opticon cradle. Simply read the ten-
character address label on the bottom of the
cradle. The reader automatically connects to
the cradle and automatically configures the pin
code, authentication and encryption.
With IEEE 802.15.4, the connection only exists
during data transfers. Therefor the options
"Auto disconnect" and "Auto reconnect" are not
supported.
RS232 cradle connection:
In case the cradle is connected to the computer
via RS232, the communication parameters
such as baud rate, data bits, parity and stop
bits can be configured via the bar code reader.
For baud rate settings and for data, parity and
stop bits refer to the applicable paragraphs as
described earlier in this chapter.
USB cradle connection:
In case the cradle is connected to the computer
via USB, the USB driver for the cradle needs to
be installed. This driver can be downloaded
from www.opticon.com. The USB driver installs
a serial port on the computer. Please consult
your sales office for not listed platforms.
Bluetooth dongle connection:
In case a third party Bluetooth dongle is used,
the Bluetooth address, pin code and security
options needs to be configured manually.
Consult your Bluetooth dongle manual how to
obtain the Bluetooth address, how to configure
the pin code and secure transmission. You
need this information to configure the bar code
reader. The Bluetooth dongle's driver installs a
serial port on the computer, which is used by
the bar code reader to transmit the data.
Keyboard emulation:
In case keyboard emulation is required,
Opticon's program OpticonRL can convert the
serial data from a COM port into keyboard data.
Ask your local dealer or sales office how to
obtain Tscan.
Enable auto connect to Opticon cradle:
After reading the address label on the cradle,
the reader immediately tries to establish a
connection.
Disable auto connect to Opticon cradle:
After reading the address label on the cradle,
the reader needs to be connected manually.
