Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the scanner automatically begins the relink process when a loss of connection is detected. When the Auto Reconnect On bar code is scanned, the scanner begins the relink process immediately, without
user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.
* Auto Reconnect OnAuto Reconnect OffNote: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth Interface Module, set Auto Reconnect to Off.

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a base or an Access Point. During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base or an Access Point. 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 or an Access Point. Pressing the trigger, scanning an Access Point linking bar code, or placing the scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.
