Using the BC9xx0-BT Base Station
The BC9xx0-BT base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™
BT9X00 readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding
and transmission of bar code data. It can be connected to a Host PC via RS-
232, USB, or KBD Wedge, and is suited for single-cradle layouts. The BC91x0
models also provide a spare battery charger slot. The BC9x80 models are pro-
vided with an Ethernet interface.
The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a multi-function button.
When the button is pressed for less than 5 seconds, the cradle will transmit a
"broadcast" message." When the broadcast is sent, all properly configured
scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio "awake") that are linked to
that base and within radio range coverage will emit a beep and blink within 5
seconds. This functionality is useful to:
• verify which scanners are linked to a certain base station
• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere
When the button is pressed for longer
than 5 seconds, all paired scanners will be
unpaired.
The LEDs signal the BC9xx0-BT status, as
shown in the table below:
LED STATUS
Aux
Yellow On = BC9xx0-BT is powered through an external power
supply.
Host Yellow On = BC9xx0-BT is powered by the Host.
Reader
Green On = the reader battery is completely charged.
Red On = the reader battery is charging.
Orange Blinking = reader battery fault - replace battery.
Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see PRG.
Off = reader not in the cradle or not properly inserted.
