CONFIGURATION | ETHERNET INTERFACE The following feature is specific to CM968x. In order to configure the following configu- ration item, the scanner must be previously set up and configured in Ethernet interface. Then CM968x must be connected. SECTION CONTENTS • DHCP •...
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE DHCP When DHCP is Enabled, the CM968x dynamically obtains an Internet Protocol (IP) address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. Otherwise, static IP address are used. $CETDC00 DHCP = Disable $CETDC01 DHCP = Enable Static IP Address This feature sets a Static IP address for the CM968x.
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE ETHERNET INTERFACE Subnet Mask The subnet mask number is combined with the IP address number to identify which net- work segment the CM968x is on. A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that is composed by using four numbers from 0 through 255, separated by periods.
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE DNS1 Address This is the address of the preferred or primary DNS server for the CM968x. This server is used first, to resolve DNS names to IP addresses for DNS names queried by this com- puter that cannot be resolved by using local name resolution information (such as cached DNS names or names contained in a Hosts file).

RS-232 PARAMETERS RS-232 PARAMETERS RS-232 ONLY Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the reader's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. With an improper baud rate set- ting, data may not reach the host correctly.
REFERENCES RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 millisec- onds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay. To set the delay: 1.
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS ACK NAK Options This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol. When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data prop- erly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error. Options are: •...
REFERENCES NAK Character This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the NAK character. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS ACK NAK Timeout Value This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout. To set this value: 1.
REFERENCES ACK NAK Retry Count This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label transmission due to a retry condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the count, and a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries. To set this feature: 1.
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS Disable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
REFERENCES Enable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to enable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
KEYBOARD INTERFACE KEYBOARD INTERFACE Intercode Delay Specifies the delay between labels transmitted to the host for this interface. The select- able range for this feature is from 0 to 99 seconds. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1. Determine the desired setting. 2.

DATA FORMAT Character Conversion Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the char- acter that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to.
REFERENCES SCANNING FEATURES Scan Mode Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are: Trigger Single: When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the follow- ing occurs: • Stand Mode/Object Detection has elapsed • a label has been read •...
REFERENCES Scanning Active Time This setting specifies the amount of time that the reader stays in scan ON state once the state is entered. The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 seconds in 1-second incre- ments. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1.
SCANNING FEATURES Aiming Duration Time Specifies the frame of time the aiming pointer remains on after decoding a label, when in trigger single mode. The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 seconds in 1-second increments. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1.
REFERENCES Flash On Time This feature specifies the ON time for the indicator LED while in Flash Mode. The select- able range is 100 to 9,900 milliseconds (0.1 to 9.9 seconds), in 100 millisecond incre- ments. Follow these instructions to set this feature. 1.
SCANNING FEATURES Flash Off Time This feature specifies the OFF time for the indicator LED while in Flash Mode. The select- able range is 100 to 9,900 milliseconds (0.1 to 9.9 seconds), in 100 millisecond incre- ments. Follow these instructions to set this feature. 1.
REFERENCES LED AND BEEPER INDICATORS Good Read LED Duration This feature specifies the amount of time that the Good Read LED remains on following a good read. The good read LED on time can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (0.001 to 2.55 seconds) in 100ms increments.
RF FEATURES RF FEATURES Automatic Configuration Update When this feature is enabled, the base station and reader will keep their configurations synchronized. If a reader's configuration is altered by reading programming labels, this change is automatically transferred and updated in a linked base station. Likewise, if the base station's configuration is changed using Aladdin or by host commands, then the reader's configuration will automatically be updated if this feature is enabled.
REFERENCES STAR Radio Protocol Timeout This parameter sets the valid wait time before transmission between the handheld reader and Base Station is considered failed. When setting this parameter, take into consideration the radio traffic (number of read- ers in the same area). The selectable range for this feature is from 02 to 25 seconds. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1.
SYMBOLOGIES SYMBOLOGIES Set Length Length Control allows you to select either variable length decoding or fixed length decoding for the specified symbology. Variable Length: For variable length decoding, a minimum and maximum length may be set. Fixed Length: For fixed length decoding, two different lengths may be set. Set Length 1 This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for a given symbology.
REFERENCES Set Length 2 This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for a given symbology. Length 2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. Reference the to view the selectable range (num- 1D Symbologies, starting on page 130 ber of characters) for the symbology being set.
