Unitech MS860 manual Modifying the WiFi settings, Vcom, Bar Codes, Network Settings

NETWORK SETTINGS

So, two things must be configured: the MS860’s Wireless Network settings, and the host computer’s Virtual Com Port settings. Consult your network administrator for the appropriate network wireless settings for your MS860 which must be manually config- ured via Scanner Configuration Manager or bar codes (see below and pages 31 to 60).

VCOM should automatically create a “virtual com port” for the Access Point to communicate data through. If this doesn’t happen automatically, then refer to the Troubleshooting section (page 89).

VCOM

The VCOM utility’s function is to convert incoming wireless data into Virtual Com Port data that your computer expects from a scanning device.

Unlike SCM or Bar Code Scanning (below) VCOM cannot modify the MS860’s configuration. VCOM simply pairs the MS860’s existing IP address, configured via SCM or bar code scanning (see below) with it’s host computer(s) virtual com port.

Detailed instructions for VCOM start on page 21.

Modifying the WiFi settings:

If the MS860’s settings need to be manually modified, this can be accomplished via the two different methods below, each described in full starting on page 10.

SCM

Scanner Configuration Manager (SCM) is a proven and powerful utility for scanner configuration. Easy to use, it is probably the most straightforward method of modifying your MS860’s wireless settings. Because of the wireless communication between the MS860 and the host computer, SCM settings cannot be directly downloaded to the MS860. Instead, SCM provides for printing a series of bar codes derived from SCM’s configuration, and these bar codes are then scanned by the MS860.

Detailed instructions for SCM start on page 13.

Bar Codes

Direct bar code scanning is the simplest, most direct, but most tedious method of configuring the MS860 scanner. Once mastered, however, it allows the user full “hands-on” control over the MS860’s wireless settings.

Detailed instructions for bar code scanning start on page 17.
