Maximum Link Attempts

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a base. During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will not attempt to reconnect to a base. Pressing the scanner’s button or placing the scanner in the base resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.

Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-255) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.

Maximum Link Attempts

Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 3-9)expires. When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a button press.

Relink Time-Out

Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link a scanner to a base typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out controls the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.

Scan the Relink Time-Outbar code, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 3 seconds.

Relink Time-Out

Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity ExamplesDefault values

When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect to the base unit. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
