Connect the SF61B to Other Bluetooth Devices
Bluetooth Device Profile
Choose the appropriate Bluetooth profile to communicate with your
host device (a Bluetooth-enabled PC for example) depending on the
requirements of your data management application:
•
HID (Human Interface Device Profile) emulates keyboard data
entry
•
SPP (Serial Port Profile) emulates data acquisition through a
virtual COM port.
HID Bluetooth Profile
With the HID (Human Interface Device) profile, your SF61B is
recognized as a keyboard. No specific software is needed to collect
data using the HID profile (this is not the case if you use the SPP
profile).
When you pair using the HID profile, you connect straight away
directly with the host.
SPP Bluetooth Profile
The SPP profile (Serial Port Profile) allows your SF61B to communicate
with the host device as if the Bluetooth link was a serial port. In this
way, your SF61B is immediately compatible with data management
applications that collect data through a serial port.
When you pair using the SPP profile, you do not connect straight
away with the host, you must then connect with your host application
either through an Outgoing (host-initiated) SPP connection or
through an Incoming (scanner-initiated) SPP connection.
Bluetooth Connections
You can connect to your Bluetooth device using one of the following
Bluetooth connections:
•
HID connection (host initiated)
•
SPP outgoing connection (host initiated)
•
SPP incoming connection (scanner initiated)
