Security Code
Disabled 0
Enabled 1
A Security Code can be utilized to minimize the possibility of a Base
Station listening to data from a Terminal that is talking to a different Base
Station. A Security Code can also prevent interference from having many
Base Station/RF Terminal configurations in one area; i.e. a merchandise
mart with multiple vendors all running RF Terminal networks.
A Security Code consists of 3 characters - any combination of ASCII
33 - ASCII 126. This allows for the possibility of more than 830,000
different character combinations. The characters are entered using the
bar coded FULL ASCII MENU provided with the RF Terminal. See
Appendix O; ASCII Code Equivalent Table for the correct
corresponding characters.
Once you press 1 to enable the Security Code, you will see the
following prompt on the Terminal:
Enter Security Code_
You will be able to see the code as you enter it on the Terminal but
once you have moved on to another Setup Parameter, you will only see
the status; 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled) if you go back to it.
If you forget the Security Code that you have already used on other
Terminals, the only way to see the code is to go into the Base Setup using
the Serial Configuration Utility.
You can only access the Security Code setup parameter by going into
Setup Mode via the RF Terminal keypad but you must use the bar
coded FULL ASCII MENU to scan in ASCII characters 33-126.

Several special keys on the RF Terminal keypad can generate a
response automatically, sending a separate message to the host by
simply pressing the appropriate control key (without pressing the
ENTER key afterward). This allows for simple and fast scrolling by the
operator. The arrow keys, Begin, End, and Search are the specific keys
supported. The default setting is to require the ENTER key to be
pressed before data transmission.
If you set this feature to 1 (YES), in order for the RF Terminal to
transmit the following values, the corresponding Control Key must be
