INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The MS860 WiFi laser bar code scanner is one of the newest members of Unitech’s MS series. The MS860 incorporates the latest WiFi technology, making it ideal for real-time bar code data collection in warehouse, loading dock, inventory, back office, document tracking, retail environments - anywhere cables would restrict movement or limit access. The incorporated 802.11b module allows the MS860 to be used within approximately 100 feet (30m) from an Access Point (AP) in a

INTRODUCTION QUICK START 1. Connect the plug of the power adapter into the power jack on the cradle, and connect the power adapter into an AC outlet. You will hear a beep, and the Power Status and Charging Status LEDs on the top of the cradle will glow green. 2. Use an unfolded paperclip to push down the battery power on/off internal switch located inside the round hole on the yellow warning label underneath the scanner. You will feel a ‘click’ as you push down the switch and then hear one bee

INTRODUCTION Buzzer The MS860 provides audible feedback while it is in operation. These sounds indicate the operating status of the scanner. One High Tone Beep The scanner will beep once after successfully reading a bar code. One High-Low-High Beep After scanning a ‘begin configuration’ bar code (“Enter Group 5”, for instance), the scanner LED will flash green while the scanner simulta- neously gives one high-low-high tone beep. Upon exiting configuration mode by scanning an “Exit” bar code, t

INTRODUCTION CHARGING THE SCANNER: Prior to performing any operation with the scanner, make sure it has been fully charged. How to determine if the scanner needs recharging: 1. During operation, a flashing red scanner LED indicates the scanner has low power. 2. When the trigger is pressed and a scan laser line is not visible (do NOT look directly into the scanner), the scanner has no power. Make sure the scanner is not merely switched off. To charge the scanner, place the unit into the cradle.

NETWORK SETTINGS INTRODUCTION The MS860 WiFi is designed to connect to your computer(s) via the existing wireless network through one of its Access Points (APs), thereby eliminating the dedicated wireless receiving unit required by other types of wireless scanners. Integrating the MS860 into the wireless network is the same as integrating any other piece of wireless hardware, requiring that you give it its own unique IP address, which can be obtained from your network administrator. The MS860 W

NETWORK SETTINGS So, two things must be configured: the MS860’s Wireless Network settings, and the host computer’s Virtual Com Port settings. Consult your network administrator for the appropriate network wireless settings for your MS860 which must be manually config- ured via Scanner Configuration Manager or bar codes (see below and pages 31 to 60). VCOM should automatically create a “virtual com port” for the Access Point to communicate data through. If this doesn’t happen automatically, the

NETWORK SETTINGS GLOSSARY IP Address IP Address (short for Internet Protocol) is simply four numbers (like 192.168.1.250) separated by periods that is used to identify a particular device within a network, just as an employee number is used to identify an individual person within a com- pany. The IP Address can either be automatically assigned by the wireless network or manually assigned by the user. The auto- matically assigned IP Address is available via your AP software, or you can assign yo

NETWORK SETTINGS WEP WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) is a security key for com- municating with an access point. If the correct key is not presented, communication is denied. Because WEP is used for security reasons, it must be obtained from your Network Admin- istrator. Authentification Type If WEP (see above) is used, then the security key can be presented to the AP in three different ways: Disabled - means communication with the AP is not possible if WEP is on because the security key w

NETWORK SETTINGS NETWORK SETTINGS There are two methods to configure your scanner to its IP settings (obtained from your Network Administrator) - via Scanner Configuration Manager (SCM) and via manual bar code scanning. SCM has the advantage in that it’s quick and easy, and works for most situations. Direct bar code scanning (starting on page 17) offers full “hands on” control over your MS860’s IP settings, but can be tedious. USING SCM FOR SCANNER NETWORK SETTING Step 1: Install Scanner Config

Step 6: If DHCP “Off” is selected, fill in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gate- way. Click “Next”. Step 7: Select whether your wireless net- work is using WEP encryption for data security.

Step 10: Verify the information is correct. Click “Back” to modify the configura- tion if necessary. Click “Next” when finished. Step 11: Setup is complete. Step 12: Select an appropriate printer to produce a setup sheet containing bar codes. Use your MS860 scanner to scan the barcodes on the sheet sequenti

NETWORK SETTINGS IMPORTANT: Once you have completed the network configuration for the scanner, VCOM will be required to configure the virtual com port, which means the VCOM utility must run in the background. This is detailed on pages 21 to 24. Some Access Points may not be able to re-connect to the MS860 after it’s been out of range. In this case the scanner will need to be powered off and powered on again, and the VCOM communi- cation must be re-started. VCOM Utility supports Windows2000 and
