Connecting Using Wand Emulation
See Chapter 4, Radio Communications for information about scanner/cradle pairing and wireless
communication
The scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect. When the scanner
is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned, a long low/long high beep sequence
sounds.
To perform Wand Emulation, connect the cradle to a portable data terminal, or a controller which collects the wand data and interprets
it for the host.
Figure 10-1. Wand Emulation Connection
To connect the Wand Emulation interface:
1. Attach the modular connector of the Wand Emulation interface cable to the host port on the bottom of the scanner cradle
(see Connecting the Cradle on page 1-8).
2. Connect the other end of the Wand Emulation interface cable to the wand port on the mobile computer or controller.
3. Select the Wand Emulation host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from Wand Emulation Host Types on page 10-6.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 10-1 are examples only.
The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same.
If a power supply is used, disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the cradle may not
recognize the new host.
Connect the cradle to a 5 volt decoder only. Connecting the cradle to a 12 volt decoder can
damage the scanner and invalidate the warranty.
