Wasp WDI7500/WWS750
The WWS750-BS Base Station/Charger
The WWS750-BS Base Station, when paired with one or more Wasp™ Retail
readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and
transmission of barcode data. It can be connected to a Host PC via RS-232,
USB, or KBD Wedge, and is suited for single-cradle layouts. .
The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a multi-function button.
When the button is pressed for less than 5 seconds, the cradle will transmit a
"broadcast" message." When the broadcast is sent, all properly configured
scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio "awake") that are linked to
that base and within radio range coverage will emit a beep and blink within 5
seconds. This functionality is useful to:
• verify which scanners are linked to a certain
base station
• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere
When the button is pressed for longer than 5 sec-
onds, all paired scanners will be unpaired.
The LEDs signal the Base Station status, as shown in
