4 - 20 Symbol DS3578 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Scanner(s) to Cradle Support
Modes of Operation
The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the scanner to
communicate wirelessly:
•
Point-to-Point
•
Multipoint-to-Point.
Point-to-Point Communication
In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one scanner to connect to it at a time. In this mode, the
scanner is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is enabled, page 4-23), or by
scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or in a lock override
state (see Pairing Modes on page 4-22). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by scanning a connection
maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-24.
To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point.
Multipoint-to-Point Communication
In Multipoint-to-Point communication mode, up to three scanners can be paired to one cradle.
To activate this mode, the first scanner connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar code. This
mode allows a parameter broadcast (page 4-21) that clones all scanners paired to the cradle so only one scanner
needs to be programmed.
To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.
