Messaging | Protocol Index

Use the Protocol Index window to configure Protocol Index parameters. Protocol
Index allows the Host to transmit a string that it has associated to a pack con-
tained within the tracking area.
It is possible to manage several different Protocol Index messages (one per
available communication interface), within the same reading phase (for the same
package.) If more than one Index message is received on the same communica-
tion interface, only the last one will be accepted.
These strings will be received by the SC5000, DX8210 and DS8110 and other
devices and included within its output message according to the following order:
1. Built-In Ethernet User Socket 1
2. Built-In Ethernet User Socket 2
3. Built-In Ethernet User Socket 3
4. Auxiliary Serial Port
5. Main Serial Port
The general output format is: <Header>Index1<Data Packet Separa-
tor>...IndexN<Data Packet Separator>Standard Message<Terminator>
The Index field has the following format: <Index Header>Index Message<Index
Terminator>
This parameter is only available for scanners configured as Standalone or as Master
when working in On Line or PackTrack™ operating modes. In OnLine mode, the Protocol
Index must arrive during the active reading phase otherwise it will be discarded. If the
Distance from Protocol Index to Trigger Line parameter = 0, the Protocol Index must
arrive during the active reading phase otherwise it will be discarded. In PackTrack™
mode: If the Distance from Protocol Index to Trigger Line parameter is not=0, the Proto-
col Index will arrive at the specified distance.
To edit the Protocol Index settings:
1. In the menu under Modify Settings, navigate to Global Settings | Messaging
| Protocol Index. The Protocol Index window opens.
