Application Work Groups - Honeywell XENON 1902 User Manual

Application Work Groups

Your cordless system can have up to 7 scanners linked to one base or Access
Point. You can also have up to 7 work groups. If you want to have all of the
scanners' settings programmed alike, you don't need to use more than 1 work
group. If you want each scanner to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume,
prefix/suffix, data formatter), then you may program each scanner to its own
unique work group and may program each scanner independently. For exam-
ple, you might want to have multiple work groups in a retail/warehouse applica-
tion where you need to have different data appended to bar codes used in the
warehouse area versus the retail area. You could assign all the scanners in the
retail area to one work group and those in the warehouse to another. Conse-
quently, any desired changes to either the retail or warehouse area would apply
to all scanners in that particular work group. Honeywell's online configuration
tool, EZConfig (page 10-2), makes it easy for you to program your system for
use with multiple scanners and multiple work groups.
The scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the scan-
ner is connected or reconnected to a base or an Access Point, the scanner is
updated with the latest settings from the base or Access Point for its work
group. The scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the
base or Access Point. If a scanner is removed from a base or an Access Point
and placed into another base or linked to another Access Point, it will be
updated with the new base/Access Point settings for whatever work group to
which that the scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the scanner
was in work group 1 linked to the first base, it will be placed in work group 1 in
the second base with the associated settings.
