Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only); Pairing - Motorola DS6878 Reference Manual

4 - 20 DS6878 Product Reference Guide

Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)

When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned
to all other digital scanners in the piconet. If disabled, parameter bar codes are processed by the individual
digital scanner only, and the digital scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other digital scanners or from
the cradle.

Pairing

Pairing is the process by which a digital scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning
Multipoint-to-Point activates multi digital scanner-to-cradle operation and allows up to three digital scanners
to pair to one cradle for the CR0078-S and up to seven digital scanners for the CR0078-P.
To pair the digital scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing bar code. A high/low/high/low beep sequence
indicates that the pairing bar code was decoded. When a connection between the cradle and digital scanner is
established, a low/high beep sounds.
NOTE 1. The pairing bar code that connects the digital scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
2. Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.
3. When the digital scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the digital scanner
automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio
losing communication. For more information see
Disable Parameter Broadcast
