Bluetooth connection to a PC and Software
The Stick Reader comes fitted with a Bluetooth module, which enables connectivity to
numerous devices wirelessly. The Stick Readers’ Bluetooth can be used to connect
to a PC with the appropriate software wirelessly in order to alter settings and import
EID device numbers from the Stick Reader. To allow the Stick Reader to communicate
with a computer you will be required to establish a Bluetooth connection. If your
computer does not already have a Bluetooth adapter then Shearwell Data Ltd offer
and recommend a Bluetooth adapter by Belkin.
Appendix 1
Set up of Belkin Bluetooth Adapter
For help installing the Belkin Bluetooth adapter please consult the installation guide
on the CD provided with the adapter. If the CD automatically runs, the guide can be
found by selecting the ‘View Installation Guide’ option. If the CD does not automatically
run, the document ‘Quick Install Guide’ can be found on the Belkin Bluetooth CD,
within the folder titled ‘QIG’.
Adding a Bluetooth Device
In order to be able to connect a Bluetooth enabled device to a computer with
Bluetooth, it must first be added to the recognized list of Bluetooth devices in ‘My
Bluetooth Places’ on the PC.
To start, turn on the Stick Reader so that it will be discoverable by the computer.
Go to ‘My Bluetooth Places’ on ‘My Computer’ or via a Bluetooth shortcut. A picture
of the Bluetooth symbol is shown below.
With the ‘My Bluetooth Places’ window open, choose to ‘Add a Bluetooth Device’
from the option on the left hand pane of the window.
The ‘Bluetooth Setup’ wizard will run. Follow the instructions and at the ‘Bluetooth
Device Selection’ screen, wait for the PC to stop searching for devices before
selecting the device with the corresponding SDL400S code to the Stick Reader you
wish to connect.
On the next screen you will be prompted to type the ‘Passkey’, this is 1111.
