Maximum Link Attempts

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a base or an
Access Point. During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base or
an Access Point. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the
number of attempts to connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will
not attempt to reconnect to a base or an Access Point. Pressing the trigger, scanning an Access Point linking bar code, or
placing the scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-100) from the inside
back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until
the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see
Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger pull.

Relink Time-Out

Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link a scanner to a base or an Access Point
typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out con-
trols the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected to a base unit or Access Point. An
extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back
cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 3 seconds.
