5. Wireless Connection
The interface used by the OPI 4002 Handheld Scanner and the OPA 1001 USB Dongle
complies with the wireless communication standard IEEE 802.15.4. The dongle is a receiver for
the scanner.
5.1. Wireless Specification
• Connection: USB Dongle: 1, Scanner: 1
• Connection Mode: Address recognition (perform the communication by
recognizing registered address)
• Encryption: Supports the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES (also
known as Rijndael) is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the
U.S. government. The U.S. National Security Council adopted AES in 2002 as a
standard to transmit encrypted sensitive information.
• Distance: Approximately 30 m (depends on environment)
5.2. Settings via Menu Barcodes
The wireless connection can be configured by reading the barcodes listed in this
document, beginning on page 23.
• Register the scanner with the host computer by scanning the IEEE address
barcode label on the USB dongle (see 5.4.2 Connecting the Scanner on page 17).
• Wireless channel settings (set the communication channel of the scanner and
dongle)
• Communication
control settings
5.3. Memorizing Settings
The scanner can temporarily memorize barcode data in case the scanner loses its
connection, such as when it is out of communication range. The maximum available
memory is 100 KB.
Note: This is an optional setting and is disabled by default.
When the scanner is connected again, the temporarily stored data is automatically
transmitted to the computer.
• Automatic data transmission is performed in a random period between 1.0 to 2.0
seconds.
• All memorized data is deleted if the Clear All Memorized Data (+-MCLR-+)
barcode label is read or if the wireless address is changed during data
transmission with connection loss (Orange LED blinking).
Note: If reading the Data Memorizing Disabled label, the barcode cannot be read if the
connection is lost.
Note: If reading the Data Memorizing Enabled label, a beep goes off when memory is full
and the barcode cannot be read any more. When the scanner is connected again, the
memorized data is automatically transmitted to the computer.
