Worth Data 701 RF manual RF Terminal Setup Parameters, RF Terminal ID, RF Terminal Channel

RF Terminal Setup Parameters

Default settings are shown in bold type in this manual and are marked by a * on the bar code Setup Menu.

The RF Terminal will typically require no setup changes except, Terminal ID (if more than one terminal) and enabling bar codes to be read other than UPC or Code 39.

RF Terminal ID

Default ID	0
Available ID's	0-9, A-Z,
	a-z, - =

•Every terminal needs a unique Terminal ID. The default Terminal ID is always shipped as 0. If you have more than one RF Terminal

assigned to a Base Station, you must be sure that each RF Terminal has a unique Terminal ID, (otherwise you will have big troubles including false error messages). The Terminal ID is always displayed on the

Start Up screen when you power up the terminal. There are 64 Terminal ID's available - 0-9, A-Z,a-z,and the special characters "-" and "=". To change the Terminal ID, enter one character either by scanning from the bar code Setup Menu or by pressing a key on the RF Terminal keypad. The channel setting is displayed on the RF Terminal’s opening screen.

RF Terminal Channel

RF Setup

Default Channel 0

•The terminal's radio operates by "frequency hopping" spread spectrum. The radios hop from one frequency to another very 400ms. The radio goes through 25 different frequencies and then repeats the sequence – all in the 902 MHz band at 150 milliwatts of power. Different sequences define the channels. It is possible to have more than one RF Network in the same area, providing each RF Network is on separate channels to avoid interference and general confusion.

•The default Channel is always shipped as 0. There are 10 channels in the USA. The Channel can be set by entering the corresponding characters (0-9) either by scanning the bar coded Setup Menu or by entering the character from the RF Terminal keypad.

•All Terminals, Base Stations and Relays in the RF Network must be set to the same channel. The channel is always displayed on the Start Up screen when you power up the Terminal. It is possible to have more than one RF Network in the same area, providing each RF Network is on separate channels to avoid interference and general confusion.
