M8500/BC-80X0 Point-to-Point Setup
A rapid configuration procedure has been devised for point-to-point applications
where a single reader is associated exclusively with its own BC-80X0 base station
and where it is not necessary to set the Date and Time parameters.
A special pre-printed bind-address label provided in the BC-80X0 base station
package can be used to bind the PowerScan
®
M8500 reader to the base station
with the address coded on the label. The address is also written numerically on the
label to be easily recognized. Valid addresses are in the range from 0000 to 1999.
Make sure that all cradles used in the same area have different addresses.
To rapidly configure your point-to-point application:
1. Apply the bind-address label onto the BC-80X0 base station as indicated
in the BC-80X0 Quick Reference Manual.
2. When the BC-80X0 cradle is connected and powered, read the Bind-
Address label to pair the PowerScan
®
M8500 to the BC-80X0 cradle. The
green LED on the PowerScan
®
M8500 will blink: the reader is ready to be
positioned onto the cradle.
3. Firmly position the reader onto the cradle within 10 seconds, a beep will
be emitted, signaling that the BC-80X0 cradle has been paired to the
PowerScan
®
M8500, and the green LED on the reader will go off.
4. Configure the BC-80X0 cradle, refer to the “BC-80X0 Quick Reference”.
END of procedure. YOUR READER IS NOW READY TO READ CODES.
If it ever becomes necessary to
change the reader, just read the
bind-address label applied to the
cradle and position the new reader
onto the cradle.
Do not use multiple readers with
this configuration method.
