Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scan-
ner tries to form a connection with a base. During the connection setup
process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a
base. 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. Pressing the scanner’s
button or placing the scanner in the base resets the attempt count and the
scanner will again try to link.
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of
attempts for the setting (from 0-255) from the inside back cover. Scan
Save to save the setting.
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 (see page 3-13) 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 button press.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt
to link a scanner to a base typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time
when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out con-
trols the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one
connection attempt and the start of the next.
Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for
the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the
setting.
Default = 3 seconds.
Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values
When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to
connect to the base unit. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 sec-
onds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the
scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
