OPN2002 cradle the CRD2000
The CRD2000 is a multi charger and communications cradle for the OPN2002.
There are two versions of the multi-cradle:
- without RS232 (CRD2000 U10) and
- with RS232 (CRD2000 RU10).
Multi-Device Details
- The cradle does support data transfer from multiple sockets at once as long as the application loaded on the OPN-2002 supports an appropriate protocol such as NetO. As usual terminal ID's must be set uniquely and configured correctly in NetO32 or similar computer side software.
- The cradle seems to have no issues charging multiple devices at the same time.
FAQ
I bought one of those cool CRD2000 things, which holds and charges 10 OPN2002s. Can I use that to load software on, or download data from, multiple OPN2002s at once?
- Yes. After the release of OS RBGV0207 and Appload version 1.39, it became possible to update the software on multiple OPN2002s in a single CRD2000. It operates in a sequential fashion, moving from one OPN2002 to the next.
- If you have an embedded application on the OPN2002 that stores scanned barcode data, you can also download the stored data from multiple OPN2002s using Opticon's NetO32 program - assuming each OPN2002 has a unique terminal ID set.
