Each participant in this network requires its own unique IP address which is assigned to it via the DHCP
process. Alternatively, the address can be permanently assigned to it manually via BootP or
webConfig tool.
The maximum length of a segment (connection from the hub to the last participant) is limited to 100m.
4.6
Heating
For low-temperature applications to min. -35°C (e.g. in cold storage), the bar code readers of the BCL 358
i
series can optionally be permanently fitted with a built-in heating and these bar code readers purchased
as separate device models.

External parameter memory in the MS 358 / MK 358
The parameter memory available in the MS 358 or MK 358 simplifies and speeds up the process of
exchanging a BCL 358
i
on-site by providing a copy of the current parameter set of the BCL 358
i
and by
storing the address as well. This eliminates the need to configure the exchanged device manually and, in
particular, a reassignment of the address – the control can immediately access the exchanged BCL 358
i
.
4.8
autoReflAct
autoReflAct stands for automatic Reflector Activation and permits an activation without additional sensors.
This is achieved by directing the scanner with reduced scanning beam towards a reflector mounted behind
the conveyor path.
As long as the scanner is targeted at the reflector, the reading gate remains closed. If, however, the
reflector is blocked by an object such as a container with a bar code label, the scanner activates the read
procedure, and the label on the container is read. When the path from the scanner to the reflector has
cleared, the read procedure has completed and the scanning beam is reduced and again directed onto the
reflector. The reading gate is closed.

The

ODVA.
