Systems Manual
Base Station
Base Station configuration is primarily performed by first program-
ming a scanner with the desired options, then downloading the config-
uration to the Base Station from that scanner.
Verify that the scanner and Base Station host inter-
face types (RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, etc.) are
matched before attempting to download any config-
uration files or perform any custom programming
sessions. Go to Interface (I/F) selection on page x
CAUTION
and set the scanner to the Base Station's I/F type.
Use the bar code below to overwrite a Base Station's configuration file.
After the Base Station receives the entire configura-
tion, it will drop all links to scanners other than the
scanner transmitting the new configuration. This
will require the user to relink all other scanners (see
Linking the Scanner to a Base Station ). Prior to the
time of relinking, it is advisable to consider
enabling the feature, Common Configuration ,
CAUTION
ensuring that the Base Station will attempt to share
the new configuration with scanners as they are
linked.

The scanner must be placed into the Programming Mode state in order
to accept programming commands. When programming using the bar
code labels in this manual, the scanner is placed in Programming Mode
by scanning the "SET" label at the top of most programming feature
pages.
While in Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes special pro-
gramming bar codes. See the section, LED and Beeper Indications for
information about scanner indications while in Programming Mode.
