INTRODUCTION ® Honeywell’s access point devices with Bluetooth wireless technology provide customers with a flexible and convenient solution for wireless communication in a variety of environments, including retail, healthcare, and manufacturing. The access point device separates charging functions from communication functions, allowing the user to optimize the available radio range.
INTRODUCTION OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES Part # Description 55-55500-3 RS232 Straight PowerLink Cable, Black 55-55502-N-3 Keyboard Wedge Straight Cable, Black 55-55512-3 RS485S Applications,Straight PowerLink Cable 55-55535-N-3 USB Type A Straight Cable, Black 55-55567-3 AUX Cable, Black S Applicable for IBM® host applications. Other items may be ordered for the specific protocol being used.
INTRODUCTION Mounting Specifications 1. 2. Drill two, 1.6 mm pilot holes in the mounting surface. The pilot holes should be located on a common centerline and be spaced 68.80 mm (2.70") apart. Secure the access point device to the mounting surface with the M2.5 x 1.1 - 10 mm, Phillips wood screws provided with the access point. Figure 2. Mounting Specifications Cable Removal Turn off power to the host system before removing the cable from the access point device.
INTRODUCTION Product Labels The serial number label located on the bottom of the access point device provides important information including the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, address bar code, safety and regulatory information. An additional copy of the address bar code is location on the top of the device near the Honeywell logo. The figure below provides examples of the labels and their locations on the access point device. Figure 4.
INSTALLATION Cable to Access Point Connection 1. Align the tab on the modular connector with the pinhole on the access point device (see figure below). 2. Insert the modular connector into the device’s socket. 3. Test the cable’s connection to ensure the connector lock has engaged. Important: If the cable is not fully latched, the unit can power intermittently. 4. Refer to pages 5 – 6 for the appropriate host connections applicable to the interface type. Figure 5.
INSTALLATION USB Host Connections 1. Turn off power to the host system. 2. Plug the USB connector into the to a dedicated USB serial port. 3. Turn on power to the host system. Figure 7. USB Host Connections Keyboard Wedge Host Connections 1. Turn off power to the host system. 2. Disconnect the keyboard from the host system. 3. Connect the “Y” ends of the communication cable to the keyboard and the keyboard port on the host system.
ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION Between the Scanner and the Access Point Device To establish communication between the scanner and access point device: 1. Connect the access point device to the host system (see pages 5 - 6). 2. Scan the address bar code on the access point device to establish a communication connection between the scanner and the access point device. Figure 10. Address Bar Code 3.
ACCESS POINT DEVICE OPERATION Page/Disconnect Button The access point has a button located on the top of the device that can be used to either page the scanner or disconnect the communication link between the scanner and the access point. Figure 11. The page and disconnect button features are not supported in CodeXML protocol mode. The scanner must be configured for the Metro protocol mode for feature functionality. Refer to page 9 for more information on Metro Protocol Compatibility.
CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES The following information is for replacement applications or situations requiring scanner reconfiguration. Some of the configuration procedures require the user to scan the recall defaults bar code. If the recall defaults code is scanned, the scanner’s factory pre-configurations and custom configurations will be lost. The scanner will need to be reconfigured in order to work with the access point device.
CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES CodeXML Protocol Compatibility The CodeXML protocol does not support page/disconnect button functions, or scanner firmware upgrades through the access point device and Metroset2. When a scanner is using the CodeXML protocol, configuration data is stored in the scanner. The stored data is not transmitted to the access point device. Special configuration steps are required for the customization of system formats and protocols.
CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES Access Point Device Configuration in CodeXML Mode When a scanner is using the CodeXML protocol all configuration data is stored in the scanner. Since the data is not transmitted to the access point device, the following process is required to configure the device for custom system formats or protocol requirements. To configure the access point device: 1. Verify a communication link is established between the scanner and access point. 2. Scan the Disable CodeXML Protocol bar code.
CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES Optional Configuration Bar Codes The following bar codes are for reference only. Suffix Characters Disable Carriage Return Suffix ³ 1 1 6 6 0 3 Enable Carriage Return Suffix ³ 1 1 6 6 1 3 The scanner transmits a carriage return after each bar code. Disable Line Feed Suffix ³ 1 1 6 6 0 2 Enable Line Feed Suffix ³ 1 1 6 6 1 2 The scanner transmits a line feed after each bar code. Disabled when keyboard wedge defaults are loaded.
CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES The following bar codes require an established communication link between the access point device and a scanner using the Metro Protocol. Default settings are marked with an asterisk ( * ).

UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING SETTINGS Uploading Settings via MetroSet2 † The upload feature in MetroSet2 allows the user to retrieve the current software number and configuration settings of an access point device connected to a personal computer. To upload settings via MetroSet2: 1. Verify the access point device is connected to the host system and a communication link has been established with a scanner. 2. Start the MetroSet2 software. 3.
UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING SETTINGS Downloading Settings via MetroSet2 The download† feature in MetroSet2 allows the user to download custom configuration settings selected in MetroSet2 to the access point and the linked scanner ‡. To download settings via MetroSet2: 1. Verify the access point device is connected to the host system and a communication link has been established with a scanner. 2. Start the MetroSet2† software. 3.
UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE Upgrading the Firmware in the Access Point Device The access point device is part of Metrologic's product series with flash upgradeable firmware. The upgrade process requires, a new firmware file supplied to the customer by a customer service representative and Metrologic's MetroSet2 software. A personal computer running Windows 95 or greater with an available RS232 serial or USB port is required to complete the upgrade.
UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE Upgrading FocusBT Firmware via the Access Point Device With MetroSet2, scanner firmware upgrades can be accomplished through the communication link between the access point device and scanner. This feature is not supported in scanners using the CodeXML protocol. The scanner must be in Metro protocol mode. Do not use the standard cable supplied with Keyboard Wedge, USB or RS485 Access Point interface kits for firmware upgrades.
