Program The Scanner And Base Or Access Point; Rf (Radio Frequency) Module Operation; System Conditions - Honeywell Xenon 1900 User Manual

Program the Scanner and Base or Access Point

When using the scanner and charge base or Access Point together as a system,
menu parameters and configuration settings are stored in the charge base or
Access Point. Therefore, when programming any menu configuration settings, the
scanner must be linked to the intended charge base or Access Point.
Note: This only applies when the scanner is linked to a charge base or Access Point. If the
scanner is in a non-base mode, configuration settings are stored in the scanner.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

The cordless system uses a two-way Bluetooth® radio to transmit and receive data
between the scanner and the base or Access Point. Designed for point-to-point
and multi-point-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license
free ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a
radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cordless system
highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to
noisy RF environments. The CCB01-010BT (Bluetooth Class 2) provides a commu-
nication range of 33 feet (10m) between the scanner and base or Access Point,
depending on the environment. The CCB02-100BT/CCB05-100BT (Bluetooth
Class 1) provides a communication range of 330 feet (100m) between the scanner
and base or Access Point, depending on the environment. See
Management, page 58, for information about controlling this range.

System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate a
scanner to a base or Access Point, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a
scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless systems. The fol-
lowing information explains the cordless system operating conditions.
Link Process
Once a scanner is placed into a cordless charge base, the scanner's battery charge
status is checked, and software automatically detects the scanner and links it to
the base depending on the selected link mode.

Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless scanner is in communication with its base or Access Point, even when
it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can't communicate with
the base or Access Point for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of
