Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt
to link a scanner to a base or an Access Point typically lasts up to 5 sec-
onds. This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact .
Relink Time-Out controls the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses
between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners
connected to a base unit or Access Point. An extra 7 seconds may
be required when a connection is successful.
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 or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approx-
imately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After
one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the
base unit or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 sec-
onds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles
(8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the
base or Access Point, but retains any bar codes that may have been saved
in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode
data is lost.
Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to relink. When
the trigger is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link to the base or Access
Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time fol-
lowed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2
minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point,
but retains any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After
one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost. Refer to
Auto Reconnect Mode, page 3-28, to review other events that can start the
relink process.
