Radio Communications 4 - 21
Digital Scanner(s) To Cradle Support
Modes of Operation
The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the digital
scanner to communicate wirelessly:
•
Point-to-Point
•
Multipoint-to-Point.
Point-to-Point Communication
In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one digital scanner to connect to it at a time. In this
mode, the digital scanner is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is
enabled, page 4-24), or by scanning the PAIR bar code. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or
in a lock override state (see Pairing Modes on page 4-23). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by
scanning a connection maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-26.
To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point.
Multipoint-to-Point Communication
Multipoint-to-Point communication mode allows up to three digital scanners to pair to one cradle for the
CR0078-S and up to seven digital scanners for the CR0078-P.
To activate this mode, the first digital scanner connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar
code. This mode allows a parameter broadcast ( page 4-22) feature that forwards parameter bar code settings
to all connected digital scanners. In this mode, programming one digital scanner applies the settings to all
connected digital scanners.
To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.
