MS860 WiFi Manual 1

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 MS860 offers checkout personnel the ability to scan bulky items

without the need for heavy lifting by customers or checkout personnel,

making for added convenience and safety. The MS860 is perfect for

applications such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, shopping clubs,

retailers, light warehouse, and manufacturing.

The cradle of MS860 works as a battery charger for the scanner.

When resting in the cradle, the scanner can reach a fully charged state

in 4½ to 5 hours. When fully charged, the scanner can provide up to 16

hours scanning time. For long-term product storage, the scanner can

be powered off by using the scanner’s push down on/off switch. Alter-

natively, the scanner can remain powered but unused for up to 1 month

before the batteries require recharging.

The incorporated 802.11b module allows the MS860 to be used within

approximately 100 feet (30m) from an Access Point (AP) in an office

environment, and up to 330 feet (100m) in an open environment. This

gives users mobility and freedom to scan bulky and difficult to reach

items.

QUICK START

Two different methods are provided to setup the MS860 WiFi’s

TCP/IP network settings - one uses Scanner Configuration Manager

(SCM) and one uses manually scanned-in barcodes. Select only

one method. SCM is the simplest.

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 beep from the scanner. When

shipped from the factory, the scanner’s on/off switch is in the “off”

position, so the scanner must be switched on before operation.

Install the VCOM utility from the User Guide CD to your PC’s

desktop. After installation is complete, the VCOM icon will appear

on the desktop and task bar. Double click one of the VCOM icons

and the Virtual Com utility screen will appear.

Press the “CONFIG” button. Enter an IP address and (virtual) com

port to associate with each other. Once these values are set click

OK, then press the Start (“Star”) button to begin communication.

Place the MS860 scanner on the cradle - the cradle’s Charging

Status LED will now glow red while charging. After 4½ to 5 hours

the status LED color will change to green, meaning that the MS860

has been fully charged and is ready to use.

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.

INTRODUCTION

Install Scanner Configuration Manager from the User Guide

CD. Once the installation is complete, the SCM icon will

appear on your desktop. Open SCM and click “Tools” / “WiFi-

Setup”. Follow the wizard, and after filling in all the network

configuration info that you’ve obtained from your Network

Administrator, you will be able to print out a barcode setup

sheet by clicking the SCM “Print” icon. Use your MS860 to

scan the printed barcode sheet to configure your scanner.

The other method is to use your MS860 to manually scan in bar

codes found on page 68 and the ASCII Chart on pages 70 to

73. This technique is more difficult and time-consuming than

SCM, but can give the user full hands-on control over the

MS860’s IP settings. This method is not appropriate for the

purposes of this Quick Start, but the user should be aware of it

if SCM proves too limiting. The Network Setting with Bar

Codes section begins on page 16.

MS860 WiFi Manual

INTRODUCTION

If using bar codes to configure your network settings, before you

start scanning, power off the scanner, and then scan the “Enter

Group 10” bar code on page 81 within 5 seconds after turning the

scanner power back on.

The VCOM Utility supports Windows 2000 and XP.

Unfortunately, Windows 98 and NT are not supported.

Some APs may not be compatible with MS860 reconnection while

out of range. In this case the MS860 will need to be powered off

and on again, and also VCOM communication will need to be

restarted.

IMPORTANT NOTES

“ACK” helps avoid data loss during an Access Point (AP) power

disconnection. To turn “ACK” on, follow the steps below:

After “ACK” is turned on, the scan data transmission rate might be

a little slower, depending on your wireless network condition.

Scan:

Print out pg.65 - RS232 Settings

Enter Group 4

Exit

If “ACK” is turned off, the scan data transmission rate will be

normal, but because the scanner’s read and transmit functions are

separate, by the time the scanner learns that it’s become discon-

nected from the AP, between 5 to 8 scanned data records may not

have been sent to the network, even though the scanner gives a

“good read” signal after each of them.

INTRODUCTION

Continuous High-Low Beeps

If scans are attempted out of range, communication will be broken.

The scanner LED will remain red and you will hear a continuous high-

low beep from the scanner when you scan bar codes.

If the Access Point is powered off, this means the communication

between the scanner and the Access Point is lost. You will also hear a

continuous high-low beep from the scanner when you scan bar codes.

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, the scanner will give one high

tone beep, and the scanner LED will stop flashing.

INTRODUCTION

CHARGING THE SCANNER:

Prior to performing any operation with the scanner, make sure it has

been fully charged.

If the scanner is not to be used for a long period of time, it is recom-

mended that you turn off the battery power of the scanner. Use an

unfolded paper clip to push down the internal power on/off switch,

located inside the round hole on the yellow laser warning label of the

scanner (see page 5). You will feel a ‘click’ when the internal switch is

moved up to the “OFF” position or when the internal switch is moved

down to the “ON” position.

To ensure that the scanner has been switched off, press the scanner’s

trigger and make sure that the scanner’s LED does not glow red.

Manufacturer’s Suggestion:

A complete charging process takes about 4 to 5 hours, during which the

cradle’s battery charging LED will glow red. After charging is complete

the battery charging LED will remain a steady green. When charging

the scanner for the first time, make sure the scanner remains on the

cradle until after the battery charging LED changes from red to green.

To Charge the MS860:

Simply place the MS860 into the MS086 Charging Cradle. Make sure

the MS086 Cradle is plugged into an available electrical outlet via its

Power Supply.

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. The battery

status LED on the cradle will glow red, indicating the charging

process has begun.

During operation, a flashing red scanner LED indicates the scanner

has low power.
