Maximum Link Attempts

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the image
scanner tries to form a connection with a base unit or PC. During the connec-
tion setup process, the image scanner transmits in order to search for and con-
nect to a base unit. 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
image scanner will not attempt to reconnect to the base unit. Pressing the trig-
ger or placing the image scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count and the
image scanner will again try to link to the base unit. When set to zero, the
image scanner will try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see
4-4) expires.
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.

Relink Time-Out

Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between re-link attempts. An attempt to
link an image scanner to a base unit typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the
time when the image scanner is actually attempting to contact base unit. Relink
Time-Out controls 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 image
scanners connected to a base unit. An extra 7 seconds may be required
when a connection is successful.
