Linear Imager Scanner(s) To Cradle Support

Modes of Operation

The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the linear
imager scanner to communicate wirelessly:
•
Point-to-Point
•
Multipoint-to-Point.
NOTE Also see the
Communication.

Point-to-Point Communication

In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one linear imager scanner to connect to it at a time. In
this mode, the linear imager scanner is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on
contacts is enabled,
(default), or in a lock override state (see
be set by scanning a connection maintenance interval bar code beginning on
To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point.

Multipoint-to-Point Communication

Multipoint-to-Point communication mode allows up to three linear imager scanners to pair to one cradle for the
CR0078-S and up to seven linear imager scanners for the CR0078-P.
To activate this mode, the first linear imager scanner connected to the cradle must scan the
Multipoint-to-Point bar code. This mode allows a parameter broadcast
parameter bar code settings to all connected linear imager scanners. In this mode, programming one linear
imager scanner applies the settings to all connected linear imager scanners.
To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.
