Symbol DS3578 - Connection Maintenance Interval

4 - 24 DS3578 With FIPS Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Connection Maintenance Interval
When a scanner disconnects from a cradle due to a Link Supervision Timeout, the digital scanner immediately
attempts to reconnect to the cradle for 30 seconds. If the auto-reconnect process fails, it can be restarted by pulling
the digital scanner trigger.
To guarantee that a disconnected digital scanner can reconnect when it comes back in range, the cradle reserves
the connection for that digital scanner for a period of time defined by the Connection Maintenance Interval. If the
cradle is supporting the maximum three digital scanners and one digital scanner disconnects, a fourth digital
scanner cannot pair to the cradle during this interval. To connect another digital scanner, either wait until the
connection maintenance interval expires then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle with the new digital scanner;
or scan Lock Override (page 4-20) with the new scanner then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle.
Connection Maintenance Interval options are:
• 15 minutes
• 30 minutes
• One hour
• Two hours
• Four hours
• Eight hours
• 24 hours
• Indefinitely.
NOTE The Connection Maintenance Interval only applies in locked pairing mode (see page 4-20).
NOTE When the cradle supports the maximum number of digital scanners, it stores the remote pairing address
of each digital scanner in memory regardless of the digital scanner condition (e.g., discharged battery).
When you want to change the digital scanners paired to the cradle, unpair each digital scanner currently
connected to the cradle by scanning the Unpairing bar code prior and reconnect each appropriate digital
scanner by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle.
