Linking the Reader to a Base Station Host Connection — The interface type was specified at the time your reader was or- dered, however you should verify before connection that the reader’s cable type is com- patible with your host equipment. Most connections plug directly into the host device as shown in .
Link to a PC in Server Mode 3. On the PC, scan for network devices. 4. Select the “Datalogic PBT7100 Reader.” Make sure “Secure Connection” is disabled. 5. Select “connect” on the PC to link the reader to the PC.
Optional: Linking the Reader to a PC in Client Mode Optional: Linking the Reader to a PC in Client Mode A reader can optionally be linked in client mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the se- rial port profile. To do this, follow these steps: 1.
Getting Started Select the Interface Type Upon completing the physical connection between the Base Station and the host, pro- ceed directly to for information and programming for the inter- Interfaces on page 13 face type the Base Station is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate barcode in that section to select your system’s correct in- terface type.
