Communication Between The 8680I And The Host; Rf (Radio Frequency) Operation; System Conditions - Honeywell 8680i User Manual

Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the 8680i goes out of range, no action is taken to relink. When the trigger is
pressed, 15 attempts are made to link to the host. Each attempt consists of approx-
imately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles
(8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the 8680i stops trying to connect to the host. After
one hour, the 8680i powers off and data is lost. Refer to
Mode, page 24, to review other events that can start the relink process.
Auto Reconnect Mode set to 1
Maximum Link Attempts set to 0
Relink Time-Out set to 10
Scanner Power Time-Out Timer set to 1800
Note: See
The 8680i attempts to connect to the host every 15 seconds, measured from one
attempt start to the next attempt start. After one half hour, the 8680i powers off.

Communication Between the 8680i and the Host

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system. The 8680i provides
immediate feedback in the form of a "good read" indication on the screen, an audi-
ble beep, and a vibration. This indicates only that the bar code has been scanned
correctly.

RF (Radio Frequency) Operation

The wireless system uses a two-way Bluetooth radio utilizing adaptive frequency
hopping (AFH) to transmit and receive data between the 8680i and the host.
Designed for point-to-point and multiple point-to-single-point applications, the
radio operates using a license-free ISM band, which sends relatively small data
packets at a fast data rate over a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies.
This makes the wireless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collec-
tion applications and resistant to noisy RF environments. The communication
range between the 8680i and host, depending on the environment, is 328 feet
(100m). See
trolling this range.

System Conditions

The components of the wireless system interact in specific ways as you move the
8680i out of range, bring the 8680i back in range, or swap 8680is between two
hosts. The following information explains the wireless system operating condi-
tions.
