Instructions

Radio Communications 5 - 35
Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)
Parameter # 148 (94h)
When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter barcodes scanned to all
other digital scanners in the piconet. If disabled, parameter barcodes are processed by the individual digital
scanner only, and the digital scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other digital scanners or from the cradle.
Pairing
Pairing is the process by which a digital scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning
Multipoint-to-Point activates multi digital scanner-to-cradle operation and allows up to seven digital scanners to pair
to one cradle.
To pair the digital scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing barcode. A high/low/high/low beep sequence indicates
that the pairing barcode was decoded. When a connection between the cradle and digital scanner is established, a
low/high beep sounds.
NOTE When Parameter Broadcast is disabled on one scanner in the piconet, Parameter Broadcast is disabled
on all scanners in the piconet.

NOTE 1. The pairing barcode that connects the digital scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
2. Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.
3. Only when the digital scanner is paired to the cradle, it automatically tries to reconnect to a remote
device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. For more information
see Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback on page 5-25.
