INTRODUCTION SCANNER PARTS: Scanner LED The MS860G has one LED indicator located on the head of the scanner which indicates the operating status of the scanner. Red LED is ON When the scanner attempts to read a bar code, the LED will glow red. Single Green LED Flash When the scanner successfully reads a bar code the scanner LED flashes green once, and you will hear a single beep. Flashing Green LED 1.
INTRODUCTION Buzzer The MS860G provides audible feedback while it is in operation. These sounds indicate the operating status of the scanner. One High Tone Beep The scanner will beep once after successfully reading a bar code. One High-Low-High Beep After scanning a ‘begin configuration’ bar code (“Enter Group 5”, for instance), the scanner LED will flash green while the scanner simultaneously gives one high-low-high tone beep.
INTRODUCTION CRADLE PARTS Cradle LEDs The MS860G charging cradle has two LED indicators (power on/off status and battery charging status). Power ON/OFF Status LED stays ON When the power adapter plug is connected into the power jack on the cradle, and the power adapter is connected into an AC outlet, the cradle will beep, and the LED on the top of the cradle will remain on. Battery Charging Status LED remains Red The red LED indicates the scanner battery is charging.
WiFi INTRODUCTION CHARGING THE SCANNER: Prior to performing any operation with the scanner, make sure it has been fully charged. How to determine if the scanner needs recharging: 1. During operation, a flashing red scanner LED indicates the scanner has low power. 2. When the trigger is pressed and a scan laser line is not visible (do NOT look directly into the scanner), the scanner has no power. Make sure the scanner is not merely switched off. To charge the scanner, place the unit into the cradle.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS INTRODUCTION The MS860G WiFi is designed to connect to your computer(s) via the existing wireless network through one of its Access Points (APs), thereby eliminating the dedicated wireless receiving unit required by other types of wireless scanners. Integrating the MS860G into the wireless network is the same as integrating any other piece of wireless hardware, requiring that you give it its own unique IP address, which can be obtained from your network administrator.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS So, two things must be configured: the MS860G’s Wireless Network settings, and the host computer’s Virtual Com Port settings. Consult your network administrator for the appropriate network wireless settings for your MS860G which must be manually configured via Scanner Configuration Manager or bar codes (see below and pages 24 to 39). VCOM should automatically create a “virtual com port” for the Access Point to communicate data through.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS 1. Application Connectivity TCP Client Mode： TCP client#1 TCP server AP SSID : wlandemo Default SSID : wlandemo Default IP : 192.168.1.240 User name : admin Password : password Destination IP : 192.168.1.2 Destination Port :10002 (Vcom port 2) IP : 192.168.1.2 Server Port:10002 for Vcom port#2 Server Port:10012 for Vcom port #12 (VCOM configuration ref Figure 2 ) TCP client#10 Default SSID : wlandemo Default IP : 192.168.1.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS 2. Installation Procedures: Step 1: One should prepare an access point and change its SSID to wlandemo. Step 2: Once SW1601T attached to Access Point, one may use Monitor.exe to Find SW1601T & its IP address, even ones PC and SW1601T are in different subnet. Note: one may click re-scan button to find all the SW1601T in the subnet (Figure 3). Figure 3 re-scan function Step 3: Configure SW1601T by monitor 1. Change SW1601T’s IP address (1) Click “Configuration”.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS Figure 4 Networking setting page (4) Click “OK” to configure the setting, and it will pop-up Authorize page, one may input the password and then click “Authorize” button to make the setting effective (Figure 5). Note: the default user name is “admin”, password is “password”. Figure 5 Authorize page (5) After reboot, the settings should be changed to new settings.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS 2. Change Virtual COM setting: (1) Click “Configuration”. (2) Select “Virtual COM” -> it will pop-up Virtual COM setting page (Figure 6). Figure 6 Virtual COM & TCP server Settings (3) One may select “Select Port” and then click “Set” to add Virtual COM Port, after configure successful the port selected should change to “used” state and “Advanced button” should be enabled, one may also click “Advanced button” to configure Virtual COM further.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS (4) One may use the Default Server port & Server IP to connect Server IP (TCP server) Note: 1. The PC which run moniter.exe utility should detect the IP address itself and the IP address should be act as TCP server if Server IP is different from the monitor.exe detected one may assign it by oneself. 2. One shouldn’t change the Server port & Server IP if one want to use the PC which run moniter.exe utility to act as TCP server. 3.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS After click “Config by IE”, it should pop-up the web page below: 3. Software Installing SW1601T wireless-Serial Server is shipped with default settings shown in the following table: Property Default Value Default SSID wlandemo IP Address 192.168.1.250 Gateway 192.168.1.254 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 User Name admin Password password RS232 Setup 38400, None, 8, 1, No flow control, Type: TCP client, Destination IP: 192.168.1.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS 2.3 Configure by web server Step 1. Make sure ones PC is located on the same subnet as SW1601T. Step 2. Open a web browser, then enter in the IP address of SW1601T to be configured. Note: Default user name is admin and default password is password. Step3. SW1601T’s network, Basic Setup、Radio、Security and RS232 Setup settings should be configured in different web pages. Step.4. Click “Apply” button to save settings and make the change effective.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS RF Channel There are 11 potential RF (Radio Frequency) Channels, numbered 1 through 11, to communicate over, and your MS860G and the nearest Access Point will use one of them. Because the MS860G and the AP will sort this out for themselves, it is not necessary for the user to specify a channel, however, a default RF Channel is provided by the MS860G as a starting point. WEP WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) is a security key for communicating with an access point.
WiFi NETWORK SETTINGS IMPORTANT: Once you have completed the network configuration for the scanner, VCOM will be required to configure the virtual com port, which means the VCOM utility must run in the background. Some Access Points may not be able to re-connect to the MS860G after it’s been out of range. In this case the scanner will need to be powered off and powered on again, and the VCOM communication must be re-started. VCOM Utility supports Windows2000 and XP.

SCANNER CONFIGURATION MANAGER Data Editing Data Editing is a powerful function that can give you tremendous control over how data is exported from the MS860G. After clicking on “Data Editing” the data editing icons become active. Click on the icon with the blue circle and white plus sign. The “Define Formula” pop-up box to the right appears, which is divided into two sections: “Qualifier” and “Modifier”.
SCANNER CONFIGURATION MANAGER Data Editing, continued Note: Even if the original bar code data is not modified, if additional characters are to be added (see “Add New” below) the original Start Parameter must be defined as From Position “1” and the End Parameter defined as “All Remaining”, otherwise, none of the original data will be output. Add New adds characters (printing and nonprinting) to the data output from the MS860G. These characters can be added before, after, and within the actual scanned data.
SCANNER CONFIGURATION MANAGER Data Editing, continued Arrange Formulas After the formulas have been created, they must be arranged in the optimum sequence by selecting formulas and using the “Move Formula” icons. This sequence is usually according to their qualifier - from least likely to occur to most likely to occur. In the example pictured above, a series of formulas are designed to output all the data in a bar code that follows a series of “0”s.
PROGRAMMING VIA SCANNER INPUT Introduction In addition to the Scanner Configuration Manager software, your MS860G scanner can also be configured via bar code input by scanning in the bar codes on the following pages. The concept (for Groups 2 through 8) is fairly simple: Parameters are associated together into groups. In order to modify a particular parameter, first you must scan an “Enter Group X” bar code to start the procedure.
