1 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. LED STATUS Aux Yellow On = BC9xx0 is powered through an external power supply. Host Yellow On = BC9xx0 is powered by the Host. Reader Green On = the reader battery is completely charged. Red On = the reader battery is charging. Orange Blinking = reader battery fault - replace battery. Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see PRG. Off = reader not in the cradle or not properly inserted. Spare (BC91x0 models only) Green On = the spare battery is completely charged. Orange Blinking = spare battery fault - replace spare battery. Red/Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see PRG. Off = no spare battery in the housing or battery not fully inserted. Radio Yellow Blinking = radio activity. Ethernet (Ethernet models only) Green Blinking = Ethernet activity.
