Wasp Bar Code WWS800, WWS850 HID Keyboard Interface, Reset Connection, Authentication & PIN Code

6.1.2Reset Connection

Scan the “Reset Connection” when switch connection from one PC to another PC. The scanner will re-start itself after this barcode is read.

6.1.3Authentication & PIN Code

The 800/850 scanner can do connection authentication if communication security is desired. Once this setting is enabled, a user configurable PIN code is verified during connection establishment. The scanner will refuse connection if the PIN code is incorrect. User can specify up to six characters of PIN code.

6.1.4Device Name Broadcasting

The scanner can be configured to hide itself by NOT broadcasting itself on the air. This can avoid unwanted computer/PDA from connecting to the scanner. But for the initial (first time) connection setup, this setting must be enabled. User can disable this setting for security reasons after initial connection setup is completed.

6.1.5Update Settings

After all the desired settings are completed, the “Update” barcode must be scanned to make the new settings effective. The scanner will re-start itself after “Update” barcode is scanned.

6.2.4Capital Lock Status

In order to send alphabets with correct case, the scanner needs to know the capital lock status of the keyboard. Incorrect settings may result in reversed case of alphabets being transmitted.

If this parameter is set to Auto Detection, the scanner will automatically detect the capital lock status of the keyboard before it transmits data.
