Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner 
tries to form a connection with a base or an Access Point. During the connection 
setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base 
or an Access Point. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could inter-
fere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is limited 
by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will 
not attempt to reconnect to a base or an Access Point. Pressing the trigger, scan-
ning an Access Point linking barcode, or placing the scanner in the cradle resets 
the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link. 
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts barcode, then scan the number of attempts for 
the setting (from 0-100) from the Programming Chart. Scan Save to save the set-
ting. Default = 0.
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause 
the scanner to try to link until the Scanner Power Time-Out Timer setting expires. 
When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause 
the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger pull.
