5 Ethernet connection

Connection Options

Observe the following electrical requirements when connecting the base station through RS-232:

WARNING: For proper RS-232 operation, do not apply any voltage to pin 9.

Power to base station can be supplied by either the DC power plug or by wiring in 24V. DO NOT use both in parallel. The DC power plug is a 24VDC power supply (DMA-24VPWR-xx), 3.5 mm x 1.3 mm.

Note: Be careful to use the appropriate connector for RS-232. See Step 6 above.

7. When the base station is powered up, scan the Pair scan code and place your reader into the base station. The base station’s status indicator becomes green. When the wireless reader is removed from the base, a wireless connection is established. The status indicator of both the base station and the reader become blue and you can hear a beep. Blue lights indicate that the reader and the base have successfully paired and are communicating.

8. Connect to your base station or to the wireless reader. You have the following connection options:

9. Lift your reader up from the base station and start reading codes.

Note:

l When the reader is on the base station, communication is established by

means of cradle contacts. Wireless communication is disabled.

l Configure wireless communication settings by connecting to the base station. In order for the changed

settings to be synchronized between the DataMan 8050 wireless reader and the base station, place your reader in the base station after your changes are saved. To assign a static IP address to the base station or the reader when communicating via Ethernet, connect to the base station in the DataMan Setup Tool. The base station, however, auto-assigns the IP address to the reader when they become paired.

Connection Options

Note:

l When you connect with the base station to a terminal program, your wireless reader sends decode results to

the terminal, but you cannot send commands to the reader.

l If you want to unpair your reader from the base station, you can either click Unassign in the Bluetooth or

Wireless tab of the Communication Settings pane of the DataMan Setup Tool (when you are connected either with the reader or the base station), or scan the “Unassign Reader” reader configuration code.

l If you place the wrong reader (that is, a reader that is not associated with the base station) into the base

station, the base station status indicator flashes red and a series of short beeps can be heard.

Connection Options

Pairing Strategy (DMA-IBASE-BT-XX)

In order to pair the base station and the reader in a single step without considering former pairing states and without using the DataMan Setup Tool, scan the Pair code from the scan code sticker on the base station.

The reader then blinks green/blue until it gets paired with the base station (or until the end of the 20 second timeout period). When the reader is put on the base station, the base station drops its pairing with its old reader and pairs with the new reader.

Note: Scanning the Pair code puts the base station and the reader put on it into force pairing mode. This means that the reader and the base it is put on get paired regardless of any assignments they both had previously. This force pairing mode is valid for 20 seconds after reading the Pair code.

Connection Options

The base station’s indicators turn green to indicate successful pairing:

When the reader is put onto another (unpaired) base station without any previous actions, the base station signals this event with beeping and red flashing of its indicators:

The base station that is paired with a certain reader signals a bad reader alert (beeps and flashing red indicators) also when another, unassigned reader is put into it.

Base Station Routing Capabilities

The base station is visible as connected through either RS-232, USB or Ethernet, but it routes data through the wireless interface to the reader.

Connection Options

Ad-hoc Mode

It is possible to connect to the reader wirelessly with the computer in ad-hoc mode (using a reader-created WiFi connection). Reset the reader to factory defaults (this configures the device to ad-hoc mode), and after the device appears under WiFi connections, connect to it with the DataMan Setup Tool and then use the Wireless tab under Communication Settings to configure authentication and encryption (which are not configured by default). For more information, see the Communications and Programming Guide.

Note: The base station is only used for charging the reader in this setup. If an intelligent base station is used, the reader has to be unassigned in the DataMan Setup Tool (connected to the base station) under Communication

Settings > Wireless tab if the reader has already been placed in the base station.

Note: Placing the reader in the intelligent base station automatically reassigns it to the base station unless the base

station is unplugged from the network first.

Infrastructure Mode

It is possible to connect to the reader in infrastructure mode using WiFi connection. You need to reset the reader to factory defaults, connect to the device in ad-hoc mode, and then use the Wireless tab under Communication Settings to activate and configure infrastructure mode.

Infrastructure mode requires a router as an access point. Encryption and authentication are available as seen in the table below. See the Communications and Programming Guide for detailed information.

Connection Options

Wireless Reader: Buffering Data

When you are within the wireless range of the base station, your wireless reader sends decoded data to your PC through the base station, just as if you used a tethered reader. You can also see the decoded images in DataMan Setup Tool, if it is running and is connected to the reader.

When you leave the wireless range, however, you lose connection to your PC, but you can still keep reading codes. The decoded data is saved in the buffer of the reader.

This buffered data appears on your PC again when you come back within the wireless range, but ONLY IF you were connected to a terminal program when you left the wireless range.

Buffered read results on the reader are not displayed in the DataMan Setup Tool; they are only transmitted over an existing keyboard emulation, RS-232 Serial or TCP/IP Telnet connection.

Note: The images acquired by the reader when it is out of the wireless range are never saved, and cannot be retrieved.

Open a connection with the reader in a terminal program so that you gain the buffered data when wireless connection is established again.

See the following table for connection options according to communication type:

Base Station Connection Type How to Connect

RS-232

Connect to the COM port of the base station. USB Connect to the COM port of the wireless reader. Ethernet Connect to the terminal program using the IP address of the reader. To

find out the IP address, go to the

DataMan Setup Tool and check the IPaddress of the reader in the

Address

column.

USB Keyboard Open the text editor or your program of choice to use keyboard

emulation. When you return to the wireless range, keyboard emulation

continues, starting with the buffered data.

While you are still within the wireless range, the reader occasionally blinks blue to indicate that the wireless connection is established.

When the reader leaves the wireless range, the base station’s signal becomes red.

Connection Options

Blinking blue status indicator: wireless connection is alive.

When you leave the wireless range, you can still keep reading codes. The reader going offline is indicated by a long beep and the status indicator flashes magenta. Status indicator blinks magenta: your reader is offline.

When the reader is offline, good reads are indicated with 2 short beeps and the selected good read status indicator color (green by deafult). Status indicator beeps twice: your reader is offline while decoding symbols.

When the buffer is full, no more codes are read. The reader does not discard the oldest read. When the buffer is full, the reader beeps and the status indicator becomes white.

The DataMan 8050 trigger mode determines when the reader attempts to read a code. Use the DataMan Setup Tool or the appropriate reader configuration codes to change trigger types.

The following trigger types are supported:

l Presentation: The LED aimer is always on.

l Manual (default): The reader begins acquiring images when you press the trigger button on the reader, and

continues acquiring images until a symbol is found and decoded or you release the button.

Field of View and Reading Distances

There is a range of reading distances available for different code sizes and focus positions. Select a focus position that allows you to read the desired code sizes at the desired working distance.

l If your application has a consistent reading range, set the focus range to a limited depth of field with no steps (for

example, set it to 20) or with limited steps (for example, set it to 2 steps between 0 and 30). This way you can achieve fast performance.

l If your application has a variety of code types and sizes, set the focus range to a wider depth of field with

increased number of steps (for example, set it to 6 steps between 0 and 200). This way you can get better coverage.

Map of Field of View and Reading Distances

Note: Due to tolerances, ranges can vary by +/- 5 mm for small codes to +/- a couple of centimeters for large codes.
