COMPATIBILITY WITH PM8500
Compatibility Mode
Powerscan PM9501-AR offers a limited set of features compatible with the
previous PM8500 family. To access those features, you have to program the
system through the Compatible Mode parameter.
When in normal mode, the same parameter can be used to configure the
communication speed.
You must read the barcode
"Restore Custom Defaults"
on
page 18 when switching from normal mode to compatible mode,
or vice-versa.
Changing from Normal to Compatible Mode
PM9501-AR Handheld
1. With the PM9501-AR, read the Compatible Mode (0) bar code below.
2. Now you can link your PM9501-AR with a BC8xxx as if it were a
PM
8500, assigning an address to the reader and performing a Join or
Bind (see the Set Radio Address and Bind commands in the PM8500
QRG).
Compatible Mode (0)
Normal Mode: Low Speed (1)
Normal Mode: Intermediate Speed (2)
Normal Mode: High Speed (3)
When the PM9501-AR is in Compatible Mode, some newer fea-
tures (such as communication speed programming) will not be
av
ailable.
