Re-link occurs automatically. Re-link to new base occurs automatically. Maximum Link Attempts The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the image scanner tries to form a connection with a base unit or PC. During the connection setup process, the image scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base unit. 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 image scanner will not attempt to reconnect to the base unit. Pressing the trigger or placing the image scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count and the image scanner will again try to link to the base unit. When set to zero, the image scanner will try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 3-4) expires. Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0. Maximum Link Attempts Relink Time-Out Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between re-link attempts. An attempt to link an image scanner to a base unit typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the image scanner is actually attempting to contact base unit. 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 image scanners connected to a base unit. An extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is successful. B - 2
