3.1 CONNECTING VIA 3610

USB HID and USB Virtual COM are alternative interfaces between 3610 and the host it
connects. By default, the interface of 3610 is set to USB HID. You can have up to seven
scanners connected to one computer at the same time.
Note: If you are using USB Virtual COM for the first time, you must install its driver from
the CD-ROM. Driver version 5.4 or later is required. Please remove older versions!

3.1.1 CONNECT TO 3610

Connect any scanner to 3610 by reading the two labels at the back of 3610. The scanner
will respond with one beep upon reading each of the labels.
"Set Connection" label
"Serial Number" label
After reading these labels, the scanner will stay active for a specified period of time (2
minutes by default) trying to connect to the 3610 while its LED is flashing blue (On/Off
ratio 0.5 s: 0.5 s). Once connected, the scanner will respond with three beeps (tone
ascending from low to high), and the LED flashes blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s). When
out of range, the scanner will respond with three short beeps (tone descending from high
to low).
Read the "Set Connection" label first, and then the "Serial Number" label. If the "Set
Connection" label on 3610 is illegible, try this one —
Note: The 3610 settings will overwrite the interface-related settings on the scanners that
are currently connected to 3610.
Users can also scan a single 2D barcode that combines the "Set Connection" and "Serial
Number" setup barcodes to connect to 3610. The example below is a 2D barcode
containing codes '#@CipherLab', '88686471166254' (Set Connection) and 'BS6065535'
(Serial Number of 3610). Underlining the digits is to make them more readable.
