The OPH1004 is used in combination with a cradle (typically [[CRD1001]]) in order to charge the OPH1004's removable battery, transfer data serially to a host (using plain ASCII, XModem, or Opticon's [[NetO]]), and load new OS revisions and applications (using Opticon's [[Appload]]). Other types of cradles exist, including a dialup modem cradle and a GSM cradle, which OPH1004 applications can utilize with Opticon's [[TCP/IP Library]]. | The OPH1004 is used in combination with a cradle (typically [[CRD1001]]) in order to charge the OPH1004's removable battery, transfer data serially to a host (using plain ASCII, XModem, or Opticon's [[NetO]]), and load new OS revisions and applications (using Opticon's [[Appload]]).

All of Opticon's Demo Applications for the OPH1004 support downloading of data through Opticon's proprietary protocol called NetO (Net-Oh). As with all communications there are two sides. In this case these are the terminal (the OPH1004) and the host (usually a PC). In most situations the terminal is used to collect data by scanning barcodes. This barcode data is then downloaded to the PC where third-party software uses it to automate various activities. | All of Opticon's Demo Applications for the OPH1004 support downloading of data through Opticon's proprietary protocol called NetO (Net-Oh).

To use NetO communications on a PC you need an application called NetO32. This can be downloaded from the Downloads table at the bottom of this page. Simply run the installer after download is complete and follow the prompts. When it is complete, start the NetO32 application on your computer. You will be presented with a main screen and some options menus. | To use NetO communications on a PC you need an application called NetO32.
