Connectivity Solution available for orKan
Several connectivity solutions are proposed by Baracoda to connect the orKan terminal.
1)
Software solutions (for end-user)
Baracoda provides three (3) different software packages to manage the Baracoda Bluetooth
barcode devices:
a.
K-Emul
K-Emul lets you insert application data result value in the selected field of the active
application. It also allows adding a prefix and a suffix to the captured data.
b.
BaracodaManager (for mobile host devices)
BaracodaManager is a light application that lets you receive application data result value
in the active application (*) thanks to the provided keyboard emulation feature. You can
also modify some configuration options (depending on the platform).
(*): BlackBerry, Android, Windows Mobile…
Note: full SDK is available to get more features / integrate the orKan terminal to the
end-user application.
c.
Baracoda Desktop Manager (for windows PC)
The
Baracoda Desktop Manager for PC
software allows the user to easily operate their
Baracoda barcode/RFID reader(s), including:
automatic connection of the barcode/RFID reader(s) that the user wants to use
inserting scanned barcodes/RFID tag IDs to a selected field in the client application
(KEmul module) or displaying it (Terminal module)
setting a barcode/RFID reader(s) parameters (Device Settings module)
Uploading data saved in a reader(s) memory
Upgrading barcode/RFID reader’s firmware
Managing, creating and modifying orKan applications
If your Bluetooth stack software is not compatible, you can test your terminal with
Hyperterminal or Kemul. Refer to Communication Protocol documentation. (Download on

2)
Baracoda Software Development Kit (for developers & integrators)
The Baracoda SDKs are created for developers who want to integrate the barcode/RFID
collection functions into their own programs, thus enabling end-users to run a single
software application. This eliminates the need to run the Baracoda Manager software in
addition to a third-party application.
