4 - 20 DS6878 Product Reference Guide

Pairing Modes

When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported:
•
Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the digital scanner (or up to three digital
scanners for the CR0078-S and up to seven digital scanners for the CR0078-P in Multipoint-to-Point mode),
any attempt to connect a different digital scanner, by either scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle or by
inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled
connected digital scanner(s) maintain connection. In this mode, you must set a Connection Maintenance
Interval on page 4-23.
•
Unlocked Pairing Mode - Pair (connect) a new digital scanner to a cradle at any time by either scanning the
PAIR bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled.
This unpairs the previous digital scanner from the cradle (Point-to-Point mode only).
To set the cradle pairing mode, scan the appropriate bar code below.
