Radio Communications 4 - 21
Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)
When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned to
all other scanne rs in the pico n et . If disa ble d , parameter bar codes are processed by the individual scanner only,
and the scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other scanners or fr om the cradle.
Pairing
Pairing is the process by which a scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning Multipoint-to-Point
activates multi sca nner -t o- cr ad le op e ratio n an d allo ws up to thr e e sca nne rs to pair to one cradle . The cra dle
includes a pairing bar code.
To pair the scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing bar code on the cradle. A high/low/high/low beep sequence
indicates that the pairing bar code was decoded. When a connection between the cradle and scanner is
established, a low/high beep sounds.
*Enable Parameter Broadcast
Disable Parameter Broadcast
NOTE 1. The pairing bar code that connects the scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
2. Do not scan data or p arame ters until pa i r in g compl et e s.
3. When the scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner
automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio
losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.
