Linking the Scanner to a Base Station

The Base Station’s POWER LED should be illuminated when the unit is properly connected to power.

Figure 3. Connecting Power to the Base Station

5.Apply power to the Host Terminal.

6.Verify communication with the Host Terminal by aiming the linked scanner at a sample bar code from the back pages of this manual, and pulling the trigger (see How to Scan for tips about scanning bar codes). Confirm that the scanner/Base Station sent the data to the host terminal. If not, see the section, Trou- bleshooting. Once all communications are verified, the system is ready for use.

To link a scanner to a Base Station, simply scan the Base Station ID bar code located on the top of the desired Base Station. As the scanner searches for the Base Station, a short beep is heard as it seeks for the correct channel. When the Base Station responds to the request, the scanner’s beeper will either sound a "Link Granted," or "Link Denied" signal (see the section, LED and Beeper Indications for more informa- tion).
