The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:
Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner
tries to form a connection with a base or an Access Point. During the connection
setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base
or an Access Point. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could
interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is
limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the
scanner will not attempt to reconnect to a base or an Access Point. Pressing the
trigger, scanning an Access Point linking barcode, or placing the scanner in the
cradle resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts barcode, then scan the number of attempts for
the setting (from 0-100) from theProgramming Chart, beginning on page 311,
then Save. Default = 0.
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause
the scanner to try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting expires. When Auto
Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the
scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger press.
