EXAMPLE

Without using the scanner to read the above setup barcodes for configuring the cradle,
you may run HyperTerminal.exe on the host computer to send serial commands to the
cradle via RS-232 or USB.
1) Connect the interface cable, RS-232 or USB, between the cradle and your computer.
For USB Virtual COM, you may need to install its driver first!
2) Connect the power supply cord from the cradle to a proper power outlet.
The Communication LED will indicate when the cradle can accept serial commands
after initializing. Refer to the table below.
If the output interface is USB Virtual COM or RS-232, run HyperTerminal.exe on

your computer. While the Communication LED on the cradle is purple (red with
flashing blue), type the serial command within three seconds.
If the output interface is USB HID, press the "Num Lock" or "Caps Lock" key

on your keyboard 5 times within 3 seconds while the Communication LED on the
cradle is flashing red and blue. This will change the interface from USB HID to USB
Virtual COM and the Communication LED will become purple (red with flashing
blue). Then, run HyperTerminal.exe on your computer. While the Communication
LED on the cradle is purple (red with flashing blue), type the serial command
within three seconds. After configuring via serial commands, the interface will be
reset to USB HID after re-connecting the power supply cord.
