Communication Between The Cordless System And The Host - Hand Held Products Scanteam 2070 System Manual

Swapping Scanners Between Two Systems with Nine Scanners on
Each
You may use the Remove Scanner Selection (page 5-4) to disassociate any
scanner. Add a new scanner by scanning the association label with the new
scanner. If you cannot scan the disassociation label because the scanner you
are trying to disassociate was damaged, remove power from that scanner and it
automatically disassociates in approximately three seconds.
Glossary
Rejoin
Rejoin is when the scanner goes out of range and then comes back in range.
The scanner silently rejoins (no beep after connecting and synchronizing with the
base) if the scanner has not been reset (charge pack disconnected and
reconnected), no menu codes have been scanned by other scanners in the work
group, and the base has not been reset.
Base Reset Conditions
The base resets when base power is lost or when a diagnostic problem is
sensed. In either case, the scanners automatically reassociate if they are within
range.
Reassociation
The process of uploading the work group parameter table from the base is called
"reassociation." During reassociation, the scanner clicks, then beeps once.
Reassociation is done automatically, without having to scan an association label.
Association List
The base keeps an association list of up to nine entries. This list maintains the
associated scanners' radio serial numbers and dynamic addresses. New
dynamic addresses are assigned to the scanners each time a base reset occurs.
This helps the cordless system track the status of the different scanners in its
network during the association and reassociation process.
Communication Between the Cordless System
and the Host
The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a "good read"
indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is
scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data. This is
possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between
the scanner and the base.
