THE GENERAL USE AND FUNCTIONING OF
THE BAR CODE SCANNER IS DESCRIBED
IN THIS DOCUMENT. ALSO GENERAL
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS TO GET STARTED
ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT. FOR
FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS CONSULT
OPTICON OR YOUR LOCAL DEALER.
BRIEF SETUP
WIRELESS READER
CONFIGURATION
INSTRUCTIONS
The reader is configured to default factory settings
and is supplied with information that gives you a
quick understanding of the product. More product
details, additional support, or configuration options
to your own preferences (by Universal menu book)
will be updated at www.opticon.com
To enable the reader to communicate to another
device, different steps can be taken, depending on
the situation.
Overview of situations
• The address of the device must be configured in
the reader. Possibly the address of the device
needs to be retrieved first.
• To connect an Opticon reader to a third party
dongle, the reader must be configured.
• In case a third party dongle is used, the address
and pin code need to be configured manually.
Consult your dongle’s manual how to obtain the
address and configure the pin code. You need
this information to configure the bar code reader.
The dongle's driver installs a serial port on the
computer, which is used by the bar code reader
to transmit the data.
• The reader can connect by scanning the other
device’s address label or by making the reader
discoverable to the other device.
• To stop the connection manually use the special
disconnection label.
The necessary steps and instructions are
explained on the next pages:

Overview of steps
Depending on the type of device to be connected,
take the steps as further described. To configure
the required options:
• scan the SET label
• scan the required option(s)
• scan the END label
After scanning the END label, the new settings are
stored in non volatile memory.
Reader to Cradle
• connect by scanning (step 3 A )
PC to reader
• discover & connect (step 3 B)
Reader to PC / Other device
• retrieve device address (step 1)
• connect mode (step 2)
• security options (step 2 Optional)
• connect by scanning (step 3 A)
To disconnect the current reader:
• scan the disconnect label (step disconnect)
---------------------------------------------------------------
[STEP 1]
– RETRIEVE ADDRESS
The address is mostly displayed on the product
label as a hexadecimal code (example: 00-11-F603-39-69). Otherwise consult the documentation of
the device how to retrieve the device address code.
To enable the reader to communicate to the other
device, the reader must be configured with this
code. The easiest way to do this is to create a
barcode label of the hexadecimal code as
described below.
– CREATE LABEL
Opticon provides a simple on-line application on
http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/bluetooth.asp
http://opticonfigure.opticon.com/ieee.asp
• Type in the digits of the hexadecimal code in
numbers and capital characters without dashes,
dots and spaces (example: 0011F6033969).
• Submit the code into a barcode (example:
0011F6033969). You hav e to print the screen
to have it available for scanning.
or
To return to default settings:
• scan the reset label (step reset)

SECURITY OPTIONS
The third party dongle usually allows
authentication, which means a PIN-code can be
used to establish a secure connection. Note that
the PIN-code is case sensitive, e.g. there is a
difference between lower case und upper case
(example: difference between ‘a’ and ‘A’).
