Appendix 3 Pairing (Device authentication)
Pairing (or bonding) is the Bluetooth
authentication process for confirming the device at the other end and thus
blocking indiscriminate access from just any Bluetooth
device. It involves mutual authentication between two
Bluetooth
devices by exchanging a mutually agreed PIN code (or pass key) when they first connect. This approach
allows the two devices to both establish a secure link and rapidly access device services without re-entering the PIN
code for subsequent connections.
The scanner supports PIN codes 0 to 8 bytes long consisting of letters, digits, and certain other ASCII characters.
When the scanner is configured as SSP (Secure Simple Pairing), the connection with the equipment corresponding to
SSP can abbreviate the PIN code input.
Changing scanner PIN code
The scanner ships with an initial PIN code of 1234. Use the scanner configuration software (BA Setting) to change
this.
