Pairing your Reader to a Windows 8 Device
Pairing Basics
Before you can use your baiMobile 3000MP Reader, it must be securely paired with your
Windows 8 device. The Bluetooth pairing process involves exchanging a randomly
generated number used by both your Windows 8 device and your reader for secure
Bluetooth communications. This and other security measures insure that Bluetooth
communications between your reader and your phone cannot be intercepted by a third
party.
The
baiMobile
3000MP Reader
utilizes the Secure Simple Pairing Numerical Comparison
model, which is standard in most devices that have Bluetooth version 2.1 and higher.
During pairing, a six digit number will be displayed on your Windows 8 device screen and on
the reader’s LED display. You must compare both numbers and confirm that they match.
Before You Begin
A few things to remember before pairing:
The reader may only be paired with one
Windows 8 device
at any one time.
Security policy may require that the
Windows 8 device
may only be paired with one reader
at any one time.
Current reader firmware
will not support multiple or simultaneous pairings.
Be sure that you have fully charged the Windows 8 device and reader before starting pairing
Have both your smart card (CAC/PIV) handy.
