Figure 5. Connecting Power to the Base Station
5. Apply power to the Host Terminal.
6. Verify communication with the Host Terminal by aiming the
linked scanner at a sample bar code from Appendix A, and
pulling the trigger (see How to Scan for tips about scanning bar
codes). Confirm that the scanner/Base Station sent the data to
the host terminal. If not, see the section, Maintenance and Trou-
bleshooting. Once all communications are verified, the system is
ready for use.
Linking the Scanner to a Base Station
To link a scanner to a Base Station, simply scan the Base Station ID bar
code located on the top of the desired Base Station (see Figure 2). As the
scanner searches for the Base Station, a short beep is heard as it seeks
for the correct channel. When the Base Station responds to the request,
the scanner’s beeper will either sound a "Link Granted," or "Link
Denied" signal (see the section, LED and Beeper Indications for more
information).
