    Connection Options Pairing Strategy (DMA-IBASE-BT-XX) In order to pair the base station and the reader in a single step without considering former pairing states and without using the DataMan Setup Tool, scan the Pair code from the scan code sticker on the base station. The reader then blinks green/blue until it gets paired with the base station (or until the end of the 20 second timeout period).

  • Page 26: Base Station Routing Capabilities

    Connection Options The base station’s indicators turn green to indicate successful pairing: When the reader is put onto another (unpaired) base station without any previous actions, the base station signals this event with beeping and red flashing of its indicators: The base station that is paired with a certain reader signals a bad reader alert (beeps and flashing red indicators) also when another, unassigned reader is put into it.

  • Page 27: Ad-Hoc Mode

    Connection Options Ad-hoc Mode It is possible to connect to the reader wirelessly with the computer in ad-hoc mode (using a reader-created WiFi connection). Reset the reader to factory defaults (this configures the device to ad-hoc mode), and after the device appears under WiFi connections, connect to it with the DataMan Setup Tool and then use the Wireless tab under Communication Settings to configure authentication and encryption (which are not configured by default).
