Quick Reference Guide

Using the BC9xx0 Base Station
The BC9xx0 base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™ PM9X00
readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and
transmission of bar code data. It can be connected to a Host PC via RS232,
USB, or KBD Wedge, and is suited for single-cradle layouts.
The BC9x60 models also allow multi cradle layouts through an RS485 Net-
work. For this network connection refer to the Programming Reference
Guide.The BC91x0 models provide a spare battery charger slot.
The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a multi-function button.
When the button is pressed, the cradle will transmit a "broadcast" message.
When the broadcast is sent, all properly configured scanners (Radio RX Time-
out set to keep the radio "awake") that are linked to that base and within radio
range coverage will emit a beep and blink within 5 seconds. This functionality
is useful to:
•
verify which scanners are linked to a certain base station
•
detect a scanner forgotten somewhere
The LEDs signal the BC9xx0 status, as
shown.
