CHANGING THE ID
In order for the MS6130 to send data to the correct receiver, they must have a matching ID number. The ID number is the serial number of the receiver. When the matching procedure is completed, the receiver will accept data only from a MS6130 that has the matching ID number. Each receiver is programmed with its serial number before it leaves the factory.
1.To program a new ID for the receiver, HANDSET
(Version 1.14 or greater) must be used. Type the following at the DOS prompt:
HANDSET /X
2.Power up the receiver, but DO NOT scan any bar codes.
3.Select “Enter Program Mode”. Select the appropriate SERIAL PORT (COM 1 or COM 2) on the PC. Make sure the Receiver is connected to the SERIAL PORT selected.
4.Select “Get Scanners Settings”. A screen will appear showing all of the options available.
5.Using the arrow keys, move down to the section labeled “Metro ID#”. Locate the serial number on the case of the receiver. Enter this 10- digit number into the “Metro ID#” section.
6.Press the “F5" key to program the receiver.
7.The receiver will beep when programming is completed. The receiver is now programmed with its proper ID. Exit HANDSET by pressing “F9" and then press “7".
8.Power Down the receiver.
