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 4-21), 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 4-20). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by scanning a connection
maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-23.
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 4-19) feature that forwards parameter bar code settings to all connected
scanners. In this mode, programming one scanner applies the settings to all connected scanners.
To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.
NOTE To connect multiple LS4278 scanners to a single CR0078-P base using multipoint-to-point mode, consult
your Motorola channel partner.
