INTRODUCTION
Product Labels
The serial number label located on the bottom of the access point device
provides important information including the model number, date of manufacture,
serial number, address bar code, safety and regulatory information. An
additional copy of the address bar code is location on the top of the device near
the Honeywell logo. The figure below provides examples of the labels and their
locations on the access point device.
Figure 4. Label Location with Examples
Caution
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the
scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and
norm EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance
requirements for a limited power source.

ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION
Between the Scanner and the Access Point Device
To establish communication between the scanner and access point device:
1. Connect the access point device to the host system (see pages 5 - 6).
2. Scan the address bar code on the access point device to establish a
communication connection between the scanner and the access point
device.
Figure 10. Address Bar Code
3. If successful, the scanner will respond with two beeps and the LED's on
both the scanner and access point device will stop flashing.
Important Note:
The communication link between the scanner and the
access point device is determined by the last address
code scanned.

www.metrologic.com8
ACCESS POINT DEVICE OPERATION
Page/Disconnect Button
The access point has a button located on
the top of the device that can be used to
either page the scanner or disconnect the
communication link between the scanner
and the access point.
Figure 11.
The page and disconnect button features are not supported in
CodeXML protocol mode. The scanner must be configured for the
Metro protocol mode for feature functionality. Refer to page 9 for
more information on Metro Protocol Compatibility.
To page the scanner:
1. Press the page button on the top of the access point device.
2. The scanner will start to beep and alternately flash the LEDs.
3. Locate the scanner.
4. Pull the scanner’s trigger or press the page button on the top of the access
point to stop paging.
To disconnect communication:
1. Press and hold down the button on the access point device for
more than 3 seconds. The blue LED on the access point device will start to
flash indicating there is no communication link established.
To re-establish communication:
1. Scan the address bar code on access point device with the scanner.
Visual Indicators
The page/disconnect button is also the blue LED status indicator (see figure
above). The activity of the blue LED reflects the connection, operation and
communication status of the access point device.
If the blue LED is:
•not illuminated, the access point device is not receiving power.
•flashing on and off, the access point device is receiving power but does not
have a communication link to a scanner.
•always illuminated there is a communication link established between the
access point device and a scanner.
After a successful scan, the Blue LED will temporarily turn off while
data is being sent to the host system. The LED will turn back on
when data transmission is complete.

CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES
The following information is for replacement applications or situations requiring
scanner reconfiguration. Some of the configuration procedures require the user
to scan the recall defaults bar code. If the recall defaults code is scanned, the
scanner’s factory pre-configurations and custom configurations will be lost.
The scanner will need to be reconfigured in order to work with the access point
device.
Metro Protocol Compatibility
By default, the Metro protocol is enabled before the access point device and
scanner leave the factory. The protocol supports page/disconnect functions,
scanner firmware upgrades through the access point device, and all features
supported by the Code XML protocol.
When a scanner is using the Metro protocol, configuration data is stored in the
access point device. The stored data is automatically sent to the scanner when a
communication link is established between the scanner and the access point
device. Scanned data and custom configuration settings will be lost if a
communication link is not established between the scanner and the access
point.
Scanner configuration changes can be done either by scanning configuration bar
codes in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544 x ), or
with the MetroSet2®program, version 3.2.0.16 or higher.
Metro Protocol Firmware Requirements
Scanner Model and REV Firmware Version
FocusBT (A) 40268 or higher
FocusBT (B) 40268 or higher
Focus BT (F) all versions are compatible
To configure a scanner to use the Metro protocol:
1. Scan the Recall Defaults bar code then the Enable Metro Protocol bar
code.
Recall Defaults
³999998
Enable Metro Protocol
³125614
2. Scan the address bar code located on the top of the access point device
(see Figure 11, on page 8) to establish a communication link between the
scanner and access point.
3. The scanner will beep and the access point’s blue LED will flash once.
4. The scanner will receive the configuration from the access point device
automatically.

www.metrologic.com10
CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES
CodeXML Protocol Compatibility
The CodeXML protocol does not support page/disconnect button functions, or
scanner firmware upgrades through the access point device and Metroset2.
When a scanner is using the CodeXML protocol, configuration data is stored in
the scanner. The stored data is not transmitted to the access point device.
Special configuration steps are required for the customization of system formats
and protocols. Instructions on how to configure a scanner in the CodeXML
protocol mode via the access point device are outlined on page 11.
CodeXML Firmware Requirements
Scanner Model Firmware Version
Focus BT 15701 or higher
To configure a scanner to use the CodeXML protocol:
1. Scan the Disable Metrologic Protocol bar code.

2. Scan the Recall Defaults bar code.
Recall Defaults
³999998
3. Scan the Enable CodeXML Protocol bar code.

³125617
4. Scan the address bar code located on the top of the access point device
(see Figure 11, on page 8) to establish a communication link between the
scanner and access point.
5. The scanner will beep to indicate a connection has been established.

CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES
Access Point Device Configuration in CodeXML Mode
When a scanner is using the CodeXML protocol all configuration data is stored in
the scanner. Since the data is not transmitted to the access point device, the
following process is required to configure the device for custom system formats
or protocol requirements.
To configure the access point device:
1. Verify a communication link is established between the scanner and
access point.
2. Scan the Disable CodeXML Protocol bar code.
Disable CodeXML Protocol
³ 125607
3. Scan the Enable Metro Protocol bar code.
Enable Metro Protocol
³125614
4. Scan all configuration bar codes required for the custom configuration (i.e.
keyboard type, country keyboard type, suffix or prefix settings).
Country keyboard bar codes are located on page 14. Additional
configuration bar codes can be found in the MetroSelect Single-
Line Configuration Guide (PN 00-02544 x ) and the Area Imaging
Supplemental Configuration Guide (PN 00-02281 x ).
5. Scan the Disable Metro Protocol bar code.
