Introduction
About this Manual
This Ethernet Software Reference Guide (SRG) is provided for users seek-
ing advanced technical information related to the BC9180™ Ethernet Base
Station/Charger, including connection, programming, maintenance and
specifications. The Quick Reference Guide (QRG) or other publications
associated with this product are downloadable free of charge from the
website listed on the back cover of this manual.
Manual Conventions
The following conventions are used in this document:
The symbols listed below are used in this manual to notify the reader of
key issues or procedures that must be observed when using the
BC9180™ base station/charger:
NOTE
Notes contain information necessary for properly diagnosing,
repairing and operating the
BC9180™ base station/charger.
CAUTION
The CAUTION symbol advises you of actions that could damage
equipment or property.

Introduction
2 BC9180™ Base Station/Charger
The BC9180™ Base Station/Charger
The BC9180™ base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™
9500 readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection,
decoding and transmission of bar code data. It can be connected to a
Host PC via Ethernet Host Interface. The BC91x0 models also provide a
spare battery charger slot.
The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a multi-function but-
ton. When the button is pressed for less than 5 seconds, the cradle will
transmit a "broadcast" message." When the broadcast is sent, all properly
configured scanners that are linked to that base and within radio range
coverage will emit a beep and blink within 5 seconds. This functionality is
useful for:
• Verifying which scanners are linked to
acertain base station
• Paging (detect the position of linked
scanners)
The LEDs signal the BC9180 status, as
shown in Table 1.
Table 1. LED Status
LED STATUS
Aux Yellow On = BC9180 is powered through an external power supply.
Host Yellow On = BC9180 is powered by the Host.
Reader
Green On = the reader battery is completely charged.
Red On = the reader battery is charging.
Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error.
Off = reader not in the cradle or not properly inserted.
Spare
Green On = the spare battery is completely charged.
Red/Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see "
Error Codes" on
page 320
.
Off = no spare battery in the housing or battery not fully inserted.
Radio Yellow Blinking = radio activity.
Ethernet Green Blinking = Ethernet activity.

Ethernet Software Reference Guide 3
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick
and user-friendly configuration method via the Ethernet interface. Alad-
din allows you to program the cradle and the reader by selecting config-
uration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running
on a PC. These commands are sent to the device over the selected com-
munication interface, or they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also facilitates image capturing.
In addition, Aladdin makes it easy to upgrade the cradle’s and hand-
held’s firmware, to attain the benefits of new reader features. Reference
the Datalogic Aladdin™ Online Help for more details.
Aladdin is available for download free of charge on the Datalogic website.

technical support and information for Datalogic products. The site offers
product support, warranty information, product manuals, product tech
notes, software updates, demos, and instructions for returning products
for repair.
Reseller Technical Support
An excellent source for technical assistance and information is an autho-
rized Datalogic reseller. A reseller is acquainted with specific types of
businesses, application software, and computer systems and can provide
individualized assistance.

Setup
BC9180™ Startup and Connection to Ethernet Network
Ensure the BC9180 is correctly plugged into your system (see the
BC91XX Quick Reference Guide or Product Reference Guide for informa-
tion. Power on the BC9180™ cradle.
When the cradle powers up, the Ethernet Green LED will be OFF. When the
Ethernet cable is plugged in, the cradle will attempt to connect to the
network. Upon a successful connection, the Ethernet Green LED will be
ON and the cradle will be ready to work as a receiver for the wireless
HandHeld scanner linked to it.
When the DHCP Client configuration is enabled (default), the BC9180™
cradle will use the dynamic IP Address supplied by the DHCP server in the
network. If the DHCP Client configuration is disabled, you can use a fixed
static IP address (the default value is 192.168.187.31). To disable the
DHCP client, go to page 17. To change the default fixed IP address, see
page 18.
After connecting the BC9180™ to the network, Datalogic Aladdin™ soft-
ware (version 1.6.3 or newer) can be used to discover the IP address of
the Base using the Discovery feature.

BC9180 Configuration
The BC9180 configuration can be performed in several ways, by using:
• Datalogic Aladdin software
• Configuration Bar Codes
• Webserver Configuration
Datalogic Aladdin™ software
After connection, the BC9180 can be configured by sending configura-
tion strings from the Datalogic Aladdin™ via the Ethernet interface.
Figure 2. Datalogic Aladdin™ Configuration Screen
Configuration Bar Codes
Link the cradle and the reader using the procedures described in the
PowerScan™PM9500 or PBT9500 Quick Reference Guide (QRG). Once the
pairing is complete, you can configure the BC9xx0 cradle by scanning
configuration bar codes from this manual. See Ethernet Host Interface
Parameters Only, starting on page 15.
To configure the BC9180 using the PowerScan™9500 reader (paired to
the cradle with the Bind command), follow the procedure for the interface
selected.
Webserver Configuration
After successful connection to the Ethernet network, you can configure
the BC9180™ cradle parameter by using any commercial Web Browser
accessing the URL: http://<BC9180™_IP_Address>.
Then select Configuration from the menu on the left.
NOTE
You can also use Aladdin software to obtain the IP address of the cradle
after the cradle is connected to the network.
Web Server configuration is always available when the BC9180™ is con-
nected to the network, REGARDLESS of the interface selection.
