iSCAN™
User’s Manual
Background.
The iSCAN™ is 2.4GHz bi-directional radio transceiver equipped with a CCD barcode scan engine and
status LCD screen. A User may configure the device to execute a number of commands based on the
type and content of Code-128 or Code-39 encoded barcodes. The iSCAN™ may interact with iControl
iTAG™ or iCHIME™ products through the Marine Asset Tag Tracking System (MATTS) communication
protocol to build a sensor network, the purpose of which is to support tracking shipping containers in a
worldwide supply chain. An iSCAN™ utilizes a low power, wireless, radio operating in the 2.4 GHz band
as its primary mode of communication. The wireless radio operates in compliance with IEEE Standard
802.15.4-2006. The iSCAN™ utilizes the same radio, processor, and User interface software as iControl’s
iTAG™ and iCHIME™ products. The iSCAN™ also supports the same command list as iControl’s iTAG™.
The iSCAN™ features two pushbuttons that cycle through and select menu options on the LCD screen, as
well as a push-and-hold trigger to initiate a barcode scan. There are no other connections except the
battery charging contacts. All iSCAN™s should use an iControl provided charger.
