Security
Features
On the Bluetooth system, it is possible to set a (configurable) PIN code to authenticate/connect
Bluetooth devices, and encrypt the data.
The Bluetooth PIN code can be enabled and configured by reading the barcodes in the following
sections.
Follow these steps to set the PIN code for a reader:
1 Enable Bluetooth Security Mode by reading the “Enable” barcode below.
2 Select a PIN code length of either 4 or 16 characters by reading the appropriate barcode in
"Select PIN Code Length" on page 226.
3 Scan the relevant barcode from "Set PIN Code" on page 227, then scan the desired alphanu-
meric characters from the keypad in Appendix D: Keypad to set the PIN code.
See page 271 in “References” for more detailed information and examples for this feature.
NOTE
If you are using a Bluetooth reader directly connected to a host through a
Bluetooth dongle, verify that the reader and the Bluetooth driver used by the
dongle share the same PIN code and the same security level. Otherwise the
connection cannot be established.
