75. The system of claim 74 , wherein said host computer is configured to be commanded to encode on a physically transportable medium a decodable dataform, the decodable dataform encoding said edited configuration file and being readable by said encoded information reader device.
74. A system comprising: (a) a data collection terminal having an encoded information reader device, a control circuit, a radio transceiver, and a memory, the memory storing an extensible markup language configuration file, the configuration file having a hierarchical tree structure, the configuration file having a radio transceiver element including name content designating said radio transceiver and a plurality of parameter elements of lower hierarchy than said radio transceiver element, each said parameter elements including parameter value content designating parameter values of said radio transceiver; and (b) a host computer spaced apart from said data collection terminal, wherein said host computer is operable in a mode in which said host computer reads said configuration file from said data collection terminal, parses said configuration file and displays said name content designating said radio transceiver and said parameter values, the host computer enabling a user to change parameter values of said configuration file, the host computer building an edited configuration file including parameter values changed by a user.
