Auto Reconnect Mode; Maximum Link Attempts - Honeywell 8680i User Manual

Auto Reconnect Mode

Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the 8680i automatically begins the relink
process when a loss of connection is detected. When the Auto Reconnect On bar
code is scanned, the 8680i begins the relink process immediately, without user
intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.
Note: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth Interface Module, set Auto Reconnect to Off.
The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:

Maximum Link Attempts

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the 8680i tries
to form a connection with a host. During the connection setup process, the 8680i
transmits in order to search for and connect to a host. In order to prevent continu-
ous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the num-
ber of attempts to connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum number of
attempts is reached, the 8680i does not attempt to reconnect to a host. Pressing
the trigger, scanning a host linking bar code, or pairing the 8680i with a host resets
the attempt count and the 8680i tries to link again.
