Infrastructure Mode
It is possible to connect to the reader in infrastructure mode using Wi-Fi connection. You need to reset the reader to
factory defaults, connect to the reader in ad-hoc mode, and then use the Wireless tab under Communication Settings to
activate and configure infrastructure mode.
Infrastructure mode requires a router as an access point. See the DataMan Communications and Programming Guide
for detailed information.

Note:
l The base station is only used for charging the reader in this setup. If an intelligent base station is used, the
reader must be unassigned in the DataMan Setup Tool (connected to the base station) under the
Communication Settings > Wireless tab if the reader has already been placed in the base station.
l Placing the reader in the intelligent base station automatically reassigns it to the base station unless the
base station is unplugged from the network first.
Buffering Data
When you are within the wireless range of the base station, your wireless reader sends decoded data to your PC through
the base station, just as if you used a corded reader. You can also see the decoded images in the DataMan Setup Tool,
if it is running and is connected to the reader.
When you leave the wireless range, you will lose connection to your PC, but you can still keep reading codes. The
decoded data is saved in the buffer of the reader.
Note: The images acquired by the reader when it is out of the wireless range are never saved, and cannot be
retrieved.
If you were connected to a terminal program when you left the wireless range, the buffered data appears on your PC
again when you come back within the wireless range.
Buffered read results on the reader are not displayed in the DataMan Setup Tool; they are only transmitted over an
existing keyboard emulation, RS-232 Serial or TCP/IP Telnet connection.
Open a connection with the reader in a terminal program so that you gain the buffered data when wireless connection is
re-established.
