Servers Tab
When a remote
Bluetooth
device initiates a
Bluetooth
connection to Omnii, the remote
device is considered the ‘
Bluetooth
master’ and the hand-held, the ‘
Bluetooth
slave’. In
order for the remote device to connect to the hand-held, Omnii must offer a service in the
form of a server. The
Servers
tab allows these services to be enabled and configured. There
are three server services available:
Serial
,
Scanner
and
OBEX OPP
.
Serial
server enables the Serial Port Profile server; a Serial Port can be selected from the
drop-down menu.
You can assign either a BSP or a COM prefix from the drop-down menu. BSP (
Bluetooth
Serial Port) was created by Microsoft to allow
Bluetooth
to have its own serial prefix in
order to free up virtual COM prefixes as these are limited and are widely used.
Scanner
server enables a Serial Port Profile server and then relays it to the Scanner Service
(SCS). This is used for
Bluetooth
bar code scanners that operate in client mode. SCS opens
the server port and handles the scanner input.
Note: Even after a Serial Port Profile server is created, an application must open the cre-
ated port before a remote device can connect.
