Binding
Your TranzPort remote control unit and its USB interface have a shared code number that was
preset at the factory. When a shared code number is assigned to a TranzPort remote and its USB
interface, they are considered to be “bound” — the code number is used in all communications
between them, and helps avoid interference from other wireless devices.
When a TranzPort remote and a TranzPort USB interface are both powered, are within radio
reception range, and share a code number (are bound), then both the USB interface’s light and
the remote’s LINK light will be on solid. If they are both powered and near each other, but the
remote’s LINK light is off and the USB interface’s light is off, then they probably are not sharing
the same code number and need to be bound.
Because there are hundreds of possible code numbers, you can use multiple TranzPort units
within the same facility as long as they are on separate computers. If you want to use more than
one TranzPort remote within the same radio reception range, you must connect an equal number
of TranzPort USB interfaces, and you must bind each pair by assigning a unique code number to
each TranzPort remote and its USB interface.
You can also take a TranzPort remote from one facility and use it with a different TranzPort USB
interface in another facility. You just need to bind the TranzPort remote with the USB interface in
the other facility.
You can bind a TranzPort remote to a TranzPort USB interface by following this procedure:
1. Make sure the TranzPort remote control unit is powered on. (Press the BATTERY button
and look at the display to verify that the batteries are sufficiently charged.)
2. Make sure the TranzPort USB interface is connected to the USB port of a computer that
has TranzPort drivers correctly installed. (The TranzPort icon should be in the task
bar/status bar.)
3. Push the button on the TranzPort USB interface. Its light should start to blink quickly. (If the
USB Interface you are attempting to bind with is currently bound with another TranzPort
remote you will have to put the first TranzPort remote into sleep mode before it will release
the USB interface to another unit.
4. On the TranzPort remote, press and hold the SHIFT button while you press and the
BATTERY button. The message “BINDING … PLEASE WAIT …” should appear in the
display, indicating that the USB interface is searching for a TranzPort remote that’s
available for binding.
5. Once the USB interface finds the remote, its LINK light should go on, and the USB
interface’s light should stay on solid. The units are now bound with a shared code number.
When the USB interface starts the bind process, it will search for 10 seconds trying to find a
remote unit that is also trying to bind. Similarly, the remote will search for 10 seconds for a USB
interface that is trying to bind.
