Scanning RD Bar Codes
When the mobile computer scans and successfully decodes a single or multiple RD bar codes, the data encoded in
the bar code can:
•
Reset the mobile computer’s connection profile. A connection profile is a set of Wireless Application
parameters that the mobile computer uses to access the wireless network.
•
Initiate downloads of one or more software packages from an FTP server to the mobile computer.
To scan an RD bar code:
1. Obtain the appropriate RD bar code(s) from the MSP Administrator.
2. Launch the RD application on the mobile computer. The Rapid Deployment window displays.

3. Scan the appropriate bar code(s) to complete the configuration and/or download.
a. A PDF417 bar code (2-D bar code) can contain all download data in a single bar code. In this case, only
one bar code may be required to scan.
b. Multi-part linear bar codes (1-D bar codes) can require scanning several bar codes. Bar codes can be
scanned in any order. The text box under
Bar codes left to scan... shows the remaining bar codes to scan
(see Figure 9-7).
4. After all appropriate bar codes are scanned successfully, the mobile computer connects to the server and the
Rapid Deployment Configuring window displays while network settings are configured.
NOTE Use only a scanner connected to the serial port when scanning bar codes using the RD Client.
NOTE RD Client version 1.9.0 only recognizes AirBEAM software packages. See AirBEAM Smart Client on page
9-22 for more information.
