Scanner(s) To Cradle Support

Modes of Operation

The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the scanner to communicate
wirelessly:
• Point-to-Point
• Multipoint-to-Point.

Point-to-Point Communication

In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one scanner to connect to it at a time. In this mode, the scanner is paired to
the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is enabled), or by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle.
