FIPS Mode

Parameter # F1h E0h
The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 is a U.S. government computer security standard used
to accredit cryptographic modules. FIPS enabled DS6878 scanners and cradles offer this secure mode of
operation.
NOTE The CR0078-P cradle is required for FIPS mode.
To enable the FIPS mode of operation (enabled by default), scan the Enable FIPS bar code. The scanner will
attempt to establish a secure session with the cradle to which it is connected. On success, the scanner will light a
yellow LED on every trigger pull to signal that all data will be transmitted over Bluetooth in a secure fashion. On
failure, the scanner will sound transmission failure error message on every attempt to transmit data.
To disable the FIPS mode, scan the Disable FIPS bar code at any time.
