Configuring the WIM

3-25

The WIM has a security mode to prevent access to its configuration
settings. For DPI drives, you can enable the security mode using
Parameter 03 - [Security Mode], and set a desired PIN number using
Parameter 04 - [Security PIN]. For SCANport drives, use Parameters
02 - [Security Mode]
and 03 - [Security PIN].

To enable the WIM security mode

1. Set Parameter 03 - [Security Mode] for DPI drives (or Parameter

02 - [Security Mode] for SCANport drives) to “PIN Required.”

2. Reset the WIM (see

Resetting the WIM on page 3-26

).

To set a PIN number

1. Set Parameter 04 - [Security PIN] for DPI drives (or Parameter 03

- [Security PIN] for SCANport drives) to a desired 4-digit number
(0000-9999). The default is “0000.”

For your convenience, please write down your assigned PIN number
and store it in a safe place:

PIN Number = ___ ___ ___ ___

2. Reset the WIM (see

Resetting the WIM on page 3-26

).

To use the WIM when security mode is enabled

When establishing a wireless connection to the WIM for the first time,
entry of the PIN number will be requested. However, PIN number entry
will not be requested for any subsequent connection when using the
same device (Pocket PC, desktop computer or laptop computer). If you
do not secure your Pocket PC or computer against unauthorized use, the
WIM security feature will not provide its intended protection.
