Bluetooth Connection
For Bluetooth enabled devices to pair to a Bluetooth enabled host.
1. Connect the device to the host using the USB port, browse the drive “SCANNDY” for the file *.sfl.
2. Open the file *.sfl with the text editor and verify the setting for the Bluetooth profile.
Example for Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile):
Config {
[Uni]
Outmode=btser
}
Example for Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device):
Config {
[Uni]
Outmode=bthid
}
Set the Bluetooth profile supported by the host or required by the application.
- Serial Port Profile (SPP)
: The scanner connects to the host via Bluetooth and emulates a serial
connection. The scanner accepts an incoming connection requested from a Bluetooth host.
- Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID)
: The scanner connects to the host via Bluetooth and
emulates a keyboard. The scanner accepts an incoming connection required from a Bluetooth host.
(See the SFL reference manual for further information)
3. Save the settings that have been made and open the file “config.ini” to verify the general Bluetooth
settings.
Example:
[BT]
Devname=SCANNDY808240
Master key=1234
Slave key=1234
Security=0
Available=0
Dirty=0
Defaddress=0000000000000
Address=000000000000
SPPchannel=3
For further information please refer to the “config.ini” reference guide.
4. Save the settings and disconnect the device from the PC.
On the host PC, launch the third party Bluetooth pairing application and place the application into
discover Bluetooth device mode.
5. Select the device with the device name configured in the file “config.ini” from the discovered device
list. The Bluetooth application may prompt you to scan a passkey it generated, or for you to create
and then scan an PIN.
6. If the Bluetooth application prompts you to generate a PIN, enter the configured Bluetooth PIN.
Default: 1234
7. If the Bluetooth application prompts you to enter the pass key it generated, scan numeric barcodes
in the chapter “Numeric Barcodes for Bluetooth Pairing” and confirm by scanning ENTER.
8. The right LED (2) constantly lights up blue as long as the device is connected.
