NF BC Networking the Reader
For example, to load the Intermec protocol handler on COM1, type this
command at the DOS prompt:
phimec 1
Or scan this bar code:
*PHIMEC 1*
*PHIMEC 1*
To unload a protocol handler
• Type this command at the DOS prompt:
unload protocol_handler port
For example, to unload the Intermec protocol handler from COM1, type
this command at the DOS prompt:

Loading a Protocol Handler When You Boot the Reader
You may want a protocol handler always loaded in the reader’s memory. First,
make sure you have enough conventional memory to load a protocol handler
and operate the reader. Then add a command to AUTOEXEC.BAT to load the
protocol handler. When you boot the reader, AUTOEXEC.BAT will load the
protocol handler into memory.
The command you add to AUTOEXEC.BAT should match the command you
type at the DOS command line. For help, see the previous section.
Loading and Unloading a Protocol Handler With a Batch File
If you create your own application or use software that does not have built-in
protocol handlers, you can create a batch file that automatically loads and
unloads the protocol handler whenever you enter and exit the application.
Note: Name the batch file carefully. COMMAND.COM executes files in this order:
.COM, .EXE, .BAT. If a batch file (.BAT) and an application (.EXE) have the same
filename, when you type the filename the reader runs the application instead of the
batch file. Therefore, the batch file that loads the protocol handlers for your application
should have a different filename from the application itself.
This batch file loads PHIMEC and PHPCSTD, runs Communications Manager,
and unloads the protocol handlers when you exit Communications Manager.
You can edit this batch file to load only one protocol handler, freeing some
conventional memory for the application.
