CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES

The following information is for replacement applications or situations requiring scanner reconfiguration. Some of the configuration procedures require the user to scan the recall defaults bar code. If the recall defaults code is scanned, the scanner’s factory pre-configurations and custom configurations will be lost. The scanner will need to be reconfigured in order to work with the access point device.

Metro Protocol Compatibility

By default, the Metro protocol is enabled before the access point device and scanner leave the factory. The protocol supports page/disconnect functions, scanner firmware upgrades through the access point device, and all features supported by the Code XML protocol.

When a scanner is using the Metro protocol, configuration data is stored in the access point device. The stored data is automatically sent to the scanner when a communication link is established between the scanner and the access point device. Scanned data and custom configuration settings will be lost if a communication link is not established between the scanner and the access point.

Scanner configuration changes can be done either by scanning configuration bar codes in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544x), or with the MetroSet2® program, version 3.2.0.16 or higher.

Metro Protocol Firmware Requirements

To configure a scanner to use the Metro protocol:

1.Scan the Recall Defaults bar code then the Enable Metro Protocol bar code.

2.Scan the address bar code located on the top of the access point device (see Figure 11, on page 8) to establish a communication link between the scanner and access point.

3.The scanner will beep and the access point’s blue LED will flash once.

4.The scanner will receive the configuration from the access point device automatically.
