Battery Charging Indicators

To charge the mobile computer’s battery through the MSR, connect the power supply to the MSR (see Figure 2-20

on page 2-21), then attach the MSR to the mobile computer. The mobile computer begins charging automatically.

NOTE Batteries must be charged within the 32° to 104° F (0° to +40° C) ambient temperature range.

The mobile computer’s amber charge LED, located in the Indicator LED Bar, shows the status of the battery charging in the mobile computer. See Table 1-2 on page 1-8 for charging status indications.

The battery usually charges in less than four hours, if the mobile computer is not in use.

Serial/USB Connection

The MSR can connect to and communicate with a serial/USB device, such as a printer or host computer, through its serial port. See Serial Communication Setup on page 2-44 for the host computer communication setup procedure.

To connect the MSR to a serial/USB device, connect one end of the serial device cable into the serial port on the MSR and the other end into the serial/USB port on the device.

Using the MSR

The MSR9000 sample application is designed to work with the MSR. This sample application illustrates how an application should handle MSR inputs (refer to the Symbol Application Guide for Symbol Devices).

NOTE The MSR does not need to be attached to the power supply to read magnetic stripes.

To use the MSR:

1. Attach the MSR to the mobile computer (see Attaching and Removing on page 2-21).

2. Power on the mobile computer.

3. Tap Start > 9000 Demo > Test Apps > MSR 9000 or MSR Cameo to start the sample application.

Basic AT Command Syntax

A command line is made up of three elements:

•

Prefix - consists of the characters “AT” or “at” or, to repeat the execution of the previous command line, “A/”

or “a/”.

•

Body - made up of individual commands described later. Space characters (IA5 2/0) are ignored and may be

used for formatting purposes, unless they are embedded in numeric or string constants. The termination character may not appear in the body. The modem can accept at least 40 characters in the body.

•

Termination character - may be selected by a user option (parameter S3). The default is CR.

The format of Basic Syntax commands, except for the D and S commands, is as follows: <command>[<number>] where:

•

<command> is either a single character, or the “&” character followed by a single char acter p er V.250; or the “%” character followed by a single character, the “*” character followed by a single character, or the “^” character followed by a single character.

•

<number> is a string of one or more characters from “0” through “9” representing a decimal integer value. Commands expecting a <number> are noted in the descr iption of the command. If <number> is missing from such a command (<command> is immediately followed by another <command> or the termination character), the value “0” is assumed. If a command does not expect a <number> and a number is present, an error occurs. All leading “0”s in <number> are ignored by the modem.

Additional commands may follow a command (and associat ed parameter, if any) on the same command line with a separation character. The actions of some commands cause the rest of the command line to be ignored.

S-Parameters

Commands that begin with the letter “S” are known as “S-parameters”. The number following the “S” indicates the “parameter number” referenced. If the number is not recognized as a valid p arameter number, an ERROR result code issues. Immediately following this number, either a “?” or “=” character must appear. “?” is used to read the current value of the indicated S-parameter; “=” sets the S-parameter to a new value.

S<parameter_number>? S<parameter_number>=[<value>] If the “=” is used, the new value to be stor ed in the S-p ara meter is specified in decimal following the “=”. If no value

is given (i.e., the end of the command line occurs or the next command follows immediately), the S-parameter specified may be set to 0, or an ERROR result code issues and the stored value remains. The ranges of acceptable values are given in the description of each S-parameter.

If the “?” is used, the modem transmits a single line of information text to the DTE. The text portion of this information text consists of exactly three characters, giving the value of the S-parameter in decimal, with leading zeroes included.

Commands

The tables that follow summarize the AT commands, result codes, and S-Registers for the MDM 3000. <string> represents a letter, number, or symbol to be entered. <val ue> repr esent s a num ber to be e ntered. Possible val ues are listed below the command.
