RF Programming Manual 169
HACK Transmit
Options
A Host Acknowledgement (HACK) message is a signal sent to the
scanner via the Base Station indicating the host has received bar code
data previously transmitted by that scanner. This feature determines
when the Base Station should send the HACK to the scanner. Choices
are:
• Send HACK as soon as the Base Station receives the scanner’s
transmission. This option is recommended for installations
where multiple scanners are linked to one Base Station.
• Send HACK as soon as the Base Station completes transmis-
sion to the host. This option is recommended for installations
where only a single scanner is linked to one Base Station.
• Send HACK after the host transitions the CTS line from inac-
tive to activate (using CTS scan control). RS-232 ONLY.
• Send HACK after host returns ACK to Base Station. RS-232
with ACK/NAK turned on ONLY.
Feature is applicable to scanner and Base Station.
NOTE
Remember, programming changes to the Base Station
have no effect until the new configuration is downloaded
via the feature Transmit Scanner Configuration to Base
Station on page 11.
