Scanner(s) to Cradle Support
Modes of Operation
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
4-21 ), 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 4-20 ). 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 digital scanners can be paired to one cradle when using a
non-FIPS digital scanner and cradle. When using a FIPS enabled digital scanner and FIPS enabled cradle, you
can pair up to seven digital scanners. See
on page 1-11 .
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 4-19 ) that clones all digital scanners paired to the cradle so only
one digital scanner needs to be programmed.
To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.
NOTE Customers who purchased STB3578 and/or FLB3578 cradles prior to February 1, 2010 (manufacturing
date) and plan to use them in radio communication mode with the DS3578 must download 123Scan
2
(see
Chapter 11, 123Scan2 ) and update the digital scanner to the latest firmware revision.
