Radio Communications 4 - 19

MT20X0(s) To Cradle Support

Modes of Operation

The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operati on, allowing the device to
communicate wirelessly:
•
Point-to-Point
•
Multipoint-to-Point.
Point-to-Point Communication
In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one device to connect to it a t a time. In this mode, the
device is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is enable d, page 4-22), or by
scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or in a lock overri de
state (see Pairing Modes on page 4-21). In locked mode, locking intervals m ust be set by scanning a connection
maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-23.
To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point.
Multipoint-to-Point Communication
In Multipoint-to-Point communication mode, up to seven devices can b e paired to one cradle.
To activate this mode, the first device connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar code. This
mode allows a parameter broadcast (page 4-19) that clones all devices paired to the cra dle so only one device
needs to be programmed.
To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.

Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)

In both multipoint-to-point mode and single point mode, enable Parameter B roadcast to store parameter updates
from the cradle. Disable Parameter Broadcast to ignore parameter configurations that come up from the cradle. In
