Connect Ds3508-Er Corded Scanner To A Serial Port Of The Vc70 (Ssi) - Motorola VC70N0 Product Reference Manual

Connect DS3508-ER Corded Scanner to a Serial Port of the VC70 (SSI)

NOTE Refer to the scanner Product Reference Guide for information on configuring the scanner.
Once the scanner is connected to the VC70 application in Serial SSI or Wireless SSI (Scan Profile),
the application (DataWedge, Wavelink TE, or any other application using the scanner in this mode)
has full control of the scanner configuration parameters via the application programming interface
(API) and can set or override previously set configuration parameters via the appropriate APIs.
When the application is not running, any scanner can be configured using configuration bar codes, as
long as a scanner-enabled software application (Wavelink, Datawedge, etc.) is not active and the
scanner is connected to VC70. Once an application is launched and the scanner is connected in SSI
to the VC70, it is not able to read any configuration bar codes. To re-enable the ability to scan
configuration bar codes, one must completely exit the application and disconnect and reconnect the
scanner to the VC70.
To connect a scanner:
Verify that the VC70 has Ethernet of Wi-Fi connection to a host server.
1.
Connect the serial cable to the scanner.

NOTE The connected scanner is powered from the COM1 port of the VC70.
By default, after the VC70 boots, the COM1 port remains powered off.
In the current revision (C), scanner power is enabled whenever the scan application starts (the scan
application calls Com open as in the standard CE Com port API). Power to the scanner is disabled when
the scan application is closed (when the scan application calls Com close).
The current revision (C) differs from the legacy revision (B) where the user manually enabled the scanner
power via applet or registry settings.
To enable scanner power in revision C via the applet or registry (as in revision B), refer to
Output to Scanner on page
power remains on (the Com port API is overwritten on the scanner power control and the scanner power
will not turn off when the scan application calls Com close).
