The Cradle

The cradles serve as a charger, radio communication interface, and host communication interface for the LI3678 cordless linear imager scanner. There are two versions of the cradle:

•

The STB3678 cordless cradle sits on a desktop or mounts on a wall, and charges the LI3678 cordless linear

imager scanner. This cradle also provides host communication by receiving scanner data via a Bluetooth

radio, and sending that data to the host through an attached cable. An external power supply or a powered

host cable charges the linear imager scanner.

•

The FLB3678 cordless cradle charges the LI3678 cordless linear imager scanner, and provides host

communication by receiving scanner data via a Bluetooth ra dio, and sending that data to the host thr ough an

attached cable. The cradle attaches to a mounting bracket using three isolators, and the bracket then mounts

on the forklift surface. A portable power supply on the forklift or a powered host cable provides power to the

cradle. DO NOT use cradles and cables designed for the LS3578 and DS3578 scanners as they are not compatible with

the LI3678 linear imager scanner.

NOTE For more information about communication between the linear imager scanner, cradle, and host, see

Figure 1-14 Connecting the Cables to the Cradle

NOTE Always disconnect the DC power supply BEFORE disconnecting the cable to the host end or the cradle

may not recognize the new host.

NOTE Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are

examples only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the linear imager scanner remain the same.

1 - 10 LI36X8 Product Reference Guide

Supplying Power to the Cradle

The cradle receives power from one of two sources:

•

An external power supply.

•

When connected to the host through an interface cable that supplies power. The cradle detects whether the host or the external supply is supplying power. It always draws power from the

external supply when available, regardless of the presence of power from a host.

NOTE Supplying power from a USB host may take longer to charge the linear imager scanner.

Mounting the Cradle

For information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation included with the cradle. For information on mounting the FLB3678 cr adle to a vehicle using the Forklift Mounting Plate, refer to the Forklift

Mounting Plate Template (p/n MN-002769-xx) enclosed in the mounting plate box.

Sending Data to the Host Computer

The cradle receives data from the linear imager scanner vi a a wireless rad io connection and tr ansmits it to the host computer via the host cable. The linear imager scanner and cradle must be paired for successful wireless communication.

Pairing

Pairing registers a scanner to the cradle such that the scanner and cradle can exchange information. The STB3678 and FLB3678 operate in two modes: Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point. In Point-to-Point mode, pair the linear imager scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if pair on contacts is enabled), or by scanning the pairing bar code. In Multipoint-to-Point m ode, you can pair u p to seven scanners to one cradle. To use this feature, scan the multipoint bar code in Multipoint-to-Point Communication on page 4-33.

To pair the linear imager scanner with the cradle, scan a pairing bar code. A high-low-high-low beep sequence followed by a low-high beep sequence indicates successful pairing and connection to the remote device. A long low, long high beep sequence indicates unsuccessful pairing.

NOTE The pairing bar code that connects the linear imager scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.

Do not scan data or parameters until pairing complet es.

Lost Connection to Host

If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle's host, ensure that all cables are firmly inserted and the power supply is connected to an appropriate AC outlet, if applicable. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish a connection with the host:

1. Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.

2. Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.

3. Wait three seconds.

4. Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.

5. Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if the host requires.

6. Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code.

Configuring the Scanner

Use the bar codes in this manual or the 123Scan See Chapter 5, USER PREFERENCES & MISCELLANEOUS SCANNER OPTIONS and each host chapter for information about programming the linear imager scanner using bar code menus. See Chapter 12, 123SCAN2 to configure the linear imager scanner using this configuration pr ogram. 123Scan

MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING & TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 3 - 3

Battery Maintenance

When batteries are stored over a year, battery cell manufacturers advise that some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur. To minimize this loss, they recomme nd sto ring ba tte r i es ha lf ch ar ged in a dr y, cool place between 41° and 77°F (5° and 25°C), the coo ler the better, and removed from the equipment to prevent the loss of capacity. Batteries should be charged to half capacity at least once a year. In order to charge a battery to half capacity , take a fully discharged battery and charge it for 2 hours. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with the affected area and properly dispose of the battery.

COMMUNICATIONS

Introduction

This chapter provides information about the modes of op eration and fea tures available for wire less communication between the LI3678 cordless linear imager scanners, cradles a nd hosts. T he chapter also includes the parameter s necessary to configure the linear imager scanner.

The linear imager scanner ships with the settings shown in the Radio Communication Default Table on page 4- 2 (also see Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS for all host device and miscellaneous linear imager scanner defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.

To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the linear imager scanner is powered down.

If not using a Synapse or USB cable with the cradle, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan a default bar code in Default Parameters on page 5-5. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

*).

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct para meter.

4 - 2 LI36X8 Product Reference Guide

Radio Communications Parameter Defaults

Table 4-1 lists the defaults for radio communication parameters. If you wish to change any option, scan the

appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Radio Communications Parameters section beginning on page 4-4.

NOTE See Appendix A, STANDARD DEFAUL T PARAMETERS for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and

Wireless Beeper Definitions

When the linear imager scanner scans the pairing bar code it issues various beep sequences indicating successful or unsuccessful operations. See Beeper and LED Definitions on page 2-1 for all beep sequences and LED di splays including those which occur during pairing operations.

Radio Communications Host Types

To set up the linear imager scanner for communication with a cradle, or to use standard Bluetooth profile s, scan the appropriate host type bar code below.

Classic Bluetooth vs. Low Energy Bluetooth

Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Bluetooth has a better Wi-Fi coexistence, as advertising and connection is done outside of the Wi-Fi channels 1, 6, and 11 (2402, 2426, 2480 MHz). Due to its lower data rate, Bluetooth Low Energy is up to seven times slower than Classic Bluetooth (0.27 Mbps versus 0.7-2.1 Mbps). Data intensive activities such as firmware updates, can take significantly longer over Bluetooth Low Energy.

Cradle

Select this host type when connecting a scanner to a communication cradle.

NOTE The scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due

to the radio losing communication. See Auto-rec onnect Feature on page 4-25 for more information.

To establish a conn ec tio n (for initial setup only):

1. Scan the Cradle-Classic Bluetooth or Cradle-Low Energy bar code.

2. Scan the pairing bar code on the cradle or place the scanner in the cradle.

Bluetooth Technology Profile Support

With Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, the cradle is not required for wireless communication. The linear imager scanner communicates directly to the host using Bluetooth technology. The linear imager scanner supports the standard Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) and HID Profiles which enable the linear imager scanner to communicate with other Bluetooth devices that support these profiles.

•

SPP - the linear imager scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial connection.

•

HID - the linear imager scanner connects to the PC/hos t via Blue to oth and performs like a keyboard.

Central/Peripheral Set Up

The linear imager scanner can be set up as a Central or Peripher al. When the lin ear imager scanne r is set up as a Peripheral, it is discoverable and connectible to other devices. When the linear imager scanner is set up as a Central, the Bluetooth address of the remote device to which a connection is requested is required. A pairing bar code with the remote device address must be created and scanned to attempt a connection to the remote device. See the Pairing Bar Code Format on page 4-37 for information about creating a pairing bar code.

Central

When the linear imager scanner is set up as a Central (SPP), it initiates the radio connection to a peripheral device. Initiating the connection is done by scanning a pairing bar code for the remote device (see Pairing Bar Code

Format on page 4-37).

Peripheral

When the linear imager scanner is set up as a Peripheral device (SPP) , the linear imager scanner accepts an incoming connection request from a remote device.

NOTE The number of linear imager scanners is dependent on the host’s capability.

Bluetooth Friendly Name

Parameter # 607 (SSI # F1h 5Fh)

You can set a meaningful name for the linear imager scanner that appears in the application during device discovery. The default name is the linear imager scanner name followed by its serial number, e.g., LI3678 123456789ABCDEF. Scanning Set Defaults reverts the linear imager scanner to this name; use custom defaults to maintain the user-programmed name through a Set Defaults operation.

To set a new Bluetooth Friendly Name, scan the following bar code, then scan up to 23 characters from Appendix

F, ALPHANUMERIC BAR CODES. If the name contains less than 23 characters, scan End of Message on page F-7 after entering the name.

NOTE If your application allows you to set a device name, this takes preceden ce over the Bluetooth Friendly

Name.

•

The scanner remains in sniff mode, and exits sniff mode only during firmware update.

•

If any Wi-Fi channel is excluded from the hopping sequence, AFH turns off.

•

Scanner (and cradle) avoid the selected Wi-Fi channels after establishing connection.

Notes

•

If using this feature, configure all scanners in the area for Wi-Fi friendly mode.

•

By default, no Wi-Fi channels are excluded.

•

Since Bluetooth requires a minimum of 20 channels when Wi-Fi channels 1, 6, and 11 are excluded, a smaller number of channels are cut from the hopping sequence.

•

Select this option to optimize battery life on the linear imager scanner and mobile device. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.

•

Auto-reconnect Immediately: When the linear imager scanner loses connection, it attempts to reconnect. If

a page timeout occurs, the linear imager scanner attempts reconnect on a trigger pull. Select th is option if the linear imager scanner’s battery life is not an issue and you do not want a delay to occur when the first bar code is transmitted. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.

•

Disable Auto-reconnect: When the linear imager scanner loses connection, you must re-establish it

manually.

Auto-reconnect Feature

When in SPP Central, Cradle Host Mode, and Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation, the linear imager scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the linear imager scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down. The linear imager scanner tries to reconnect for the period of time specified by the Reconnect Attempt Interval setting. During that time the green LED continues to blink.

If the auto-reconnect process fails due to page time-outs, the linear imager scanner sounds a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and enters low power mode. The auto-reconnect process can be re-started by pulling the linear imager scanner trigger.

If the auto-reconnect process fails because the remote device rejects the connection attempt, the linear imager scanner sounds a connection reject beep sequence (see Wireless Beeper Definitions on page 4-4) and deletes the remote pairing address. If this happens, a pairing bar code must be scanned to attempt a new connection to the remote device.

NOTE If a bar code is scanned while the auto-reconnect sequence is in process, a transmission error beep

sequence sounds and the data is not transmitted to the host. After a connection is reestablished, normal scanning operation returns. For error beep sequence definitions, see Beeper and LED Definitions on page

2-1.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 4 - 25

The linear imager scanner has memory available for storing a remote Bluetooth address for each Central mode (SPP, Cradle). When switching between these modes, the linear imager scanner automatically tr ies to reconnect to the last device it was connected to in that mode.

NOTE Switching between Bluetooth host types by scanning a host type bar code (page 4-4) causes the radio to

be reset. Scanning is disabled during this time. It takes several seconds for the linear imager scanner to re-initialize the radio at which time scanning is enabled.

Out of Range Indicator

An out of range indicator can be set by scanning Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt (1) on page 4-26 and extending the time using the Reconnect Attempt Interval on page 4-27.

For example, with Beep on Reconnect Attempt disabled while the linear imager scanner loses radio connection when it is taken out of range, the linear imager scanner attempts to reconnect silently dur ing the time interval set by scanning a Reconnect Attempt Interval.

When Beep on Reconnect Attemp t is enabled, the linear imager scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds while the re-connection attempt is in progress. If the Reconnect Attempt Interval is adjusted to a longer period of time, such as 30 minutes, the linear imager scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 second s for 30 minutes pro viding an out of range indicator.

Beep on Insertion

Parameter # 288 (SSI # 20h)

When a linear imager scanner is inserted into a cradle and detects power, it emits a short low beep. This feature is enabled by default.

Linear Imager Scanner(s) To Cradle Support

Modes of Operation

Parameter # 538 (SSI # F1h 1Ah)

The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the linear imager scanner to communicate wirelessly:

•

Point-to-Point

•

Multipoint-to-Point.

Point-to-Point Communication

In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one linear im ager scanner to connect to it at a time. In this mode, the linear imager scanner is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is enabled, page 4-36), or by scanning the PAIR bar code. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or in a lock override state (see Pairing Modes on page 4-35). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by scanning a connection maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-38.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS 4 - 33

To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point.

Multipoint-to-Point Communication

Multipoint-to-Point communication mode allows up to seven linear imager scanners to pair to one cradle. To activate this mode, the first linear imager scanner connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar

code. This mode allows a parameter broadcast (page 4- 34) feature that forwards parameter bar code settings to all connected linear imager scanners. In this mode, programming o ne linear ima ger scanner ap plies the se ttings to al l connected linear imager scanners.

To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.

Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)

Parameter # 148 (SSI # 94h)

NOTE When Parameter Broadcast is disabled on one scanner in the piconet, Parameter Broadcast is disabled

on all scanners in the piconet.

When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned to all other linear imager scanners in the piconet. If disabled, parameter bar codes are processed by the individual linear imager scanner only, and the linear imager scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other linear imager scanners or from the cradle.

Pairing

Pairing is the process by which a linear imager scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning Multipoint-to-Point activates multi linear imager scanner-to-cradle operation and allows up to seven linear imager scanners to pair to one cradle.

To pair the linear imager scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing bar code. A high/low/high/low beep sequence indicates that the pairing bar code was decoded. When a connection between the cra dle and linear imager scanner is established, a low/high beep sounds.

NOTE 1. The pairing bar code that connects the linear imager scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.

2. Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.

3. Only when the linear imager scanner is paired to the cradle it automatically tries to reconnect to a

remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-25.
