TRAKKER Antares 246X Stationary Terminal User's Manual

Using the Status Lights

You can use the terminal's status lights to monitor the status of backup battery power,
network communications, special keys, and bar code scanning. The status lights only
flash or turn on to indicate the current status. The Power status light is amber and all
other lights are green. When you have the terminal turned off (Suspend mode), the
status lights are also off.
Good Read This status light turns on when you successfully scan a bar code label
with an input device (badge scanner, laser scanner, and so on) that is connected to the
terminal. The status light turns off after 2 seconds. You can also use the Status Lights
Control reader command to turn this status light on and off. For help, see "Status
Lights Control" in Chapter 7.
User Defined This status light is user defined. You can program this status light to
turn on and off for any task or error within your application. You can also use the
Status Lights Control reader command to turn this status light on and off. For help, see
"Status Lights Control" in Chapter 7.
Network Connect This status light tells you if the 2461 is connected to your Ethernet
network. The Network Connect status light may be off, blinking, or on.

UDP Plus
When the Network Connect status light is turned off, you are either not connected to
the network or the terminal is not configured. Make sure the Network Activate
command is enabled and that the terminal is configured correctly for your network.
In a UDP Plus network, the Network Connect status light is not instantaneously
updated but does tell you the communications status the last time data was sent or
received from the terminal. For help with network communications, see Chapter 4,
"Operating the Terminal in a Network."
