Although Bluetooth radio is an integral part of the
basic set, the PL3000 can be optionally configured
without it. For further information how to put Bluetooth
to use, see the section ‘BLUETOOTH’ (on page 91).
When mobility is an essential part of the business
application, Nordic ID holds out the PL3000 with a
GPRS option. This mobile option also fits into situations
where mobile cellular network is an appropriate
infrastructural solution to the application architecture without special need for
mobility, or just a cost-effective solution to network maintenance. For more
information on the Nordic ID mobile option, see the section ‘GPRS’ (on page 85).
One of the PL3000’s connectivity options is an
IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN. This wireless option can be
configured to use either an 802.1X stack from the
802.11g radio module manufacture or a native 802.1X
stack of Windows Embedded CE for WLAN authentication. For further information
on Nordic ID wireless option, see the section ‘WIRELESS LAN’ (on page 59).
The PL3000 has the possibility of installing
additional memory up to two gigabytes. There is a SD /
MMC memory card slot on the PL3000 with all available
options other than the NordicID mobile. In the case of the NordicID mobile the add-
on memory slot is replaced with a SIM slot. With the mobile option the add-on
memory will be installed during the manufacture of the PL3000, if need be. For
further information on the add-on memory options, see the section ‘ADD-ON
MEMORY OPTIONS’ (on page 28).
A pistol grip with a trigger imparts steadiness to tag
scanning. There are two variants of the pistol grip. In
addition to the grip with the trigger, it can be equipped
with the battery inside. The grip battery either
substitutes the basic battery or is an add-on to it. In
both cases the pistol grip battery increases battery
capacitance on the PL3000, which provides better
service life.
