Wi-Fi Channels Exclusion - Datalogic PowerScan Series Product Reference Manual

BLUETOOTH-ONLY FEATURES

Wi-Fi Channels Exclusion

In case the Reader operates in the same environment as 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi equipment, set
this parameter to configure the strategy that the Reader should employ to minimize the
interferences between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless technologies.
•
•
For example, if the co-located 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi equipment operates according to the
802.11g standard on channels n. 6 and n. 11, read the 802.11b/g ch.6 and 11 program-
ming label.
If the specific 802.11 standard or the frequency channels used by the Wi-Fi equip-
ment are unknown, select Automatic to let the Reader use the Adaptive Fre-
quency Hopping (AFH) feature of Bluetooth technology. With this setting, the
Reader and the remote Bluetooth device may automatically detect the frequency
channels affected by a significant level of interference, and avoid using these
channels during Bluetooth data exchange.
If the specific 802.11 standard and the frequency channels used by the Wi-Fi
equipment are known, select the corresponding combination from the list of pro-
gramming labels below or use the Datalogic Aladdin tool. With this setting, the
Reader and the remote Bluetooth device avoid using the Bluetooth frequency
channels that overlap with the already occupied Wi-Fi channels.
NOTE: The programming labels in the list below cover the most popular
combinations of 802.11 standards and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi channels. If the con-
figuration command corresponding to your specific scenario is not listed,
please contact Datalogic Technical Support for further configuration
options.
