4 - 20 DS3578 With FIPS Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Pairing Modes
When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported:
•
Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the digital scanner (or to three digital scanners
in Multipoint-to-Point mode), any attempt to connect a different digital scanner, by either scanning the PAIR
bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled
4-21), is rejected. The currently connected digital scanner(s) maintain connection. In this mode, you must set
a
Connection Maintenance Interval on page
•
Unlocked Pairing Mode - Pair (connect) a new digital scanner to a cradle at any time by either scanning the
PAIR bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled.
This unpairs the previous digital scanner from the cradle.
NOTE In Multipoint-to-Point mode, pairing a 4th digital scanner while in Unlocked mode replaces any
disconnected (out of range) digital scanner. However, if three scanners are actively connected to the
cradle, a 4th digital scanner cannot connect regardless of the pairing mode.
To set the cradle pairing mode, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Multipoint-to-Point mode, this unpairs any disconnected (out of range) digital scanner first, in order to connect the
new digital scanner.
To use Lock Override, scan the bar code below, followed by the pairing bar code on the cradle.
