Example of Connecting 4230 with a PC
Note: This example applies to a PC with Windows® 2000 only.
The Bluetooth Serial Port Service on a computer allows a remote device, the
4230 imager, to establish a wireless link with the computer. The wireless link can
then be used as though a physical serial cable connects the 4230 and the
computer. The link is initiated by the 4230 operating in server mode, but once
the link is established the 4230 and computer swap modes and the 4230
becomes the client.
At the time of manufacture the imager is configured to operate in server mode.
Also, whenever the "DEFAULT" menu bar code symbol is scanned, the 4230
reverts to server mode.
The process to establish a link between an 4230 and a computer equipped with
Bluetooth is as follows:
1. Configure the computer's Bluetooth "Local Services" serial port to start auto-
matically.
2. Pull and release the trigger on the 4230 to insure that the imager is powered
up.
3. Scan the "DEFAULT" menu symbol to insure that the imager is in server
mode.
4. Run "Discover Bluetooth Devices" on the computer.
5. If the computer is configured for a secure connection, the user will be
prompted for the 4230's pin code ( See "Changing Bluetooth PIN Code" on
page 6 .) If desired, the user can set the 4230's pin code with the bar code
menu prior to initiating this process. The default value for the pin code is
1234.
6. The 4230 and the computer then create a link and automatically swap
modes, with the imager becoming the client and the computer the server.
7. Open the computer application that is to receive data from the 4230, using
the COM port number indicated for the Bluetooth Serial Port in the
computer's list of "Local Services".
