BLUETOOTH CONNECTION

Pairing
For Bluetooth enabled devices to pair to a Bluetooth enabled host.

Note!
The following description is only valid for devices with factory installed
software. Devices with custom software can behave different, depending on
the programming.

1. Connect the device to the host using the USB port and brows the drive

“Scanndy”. And search for the file *.sfl

2. Open the file *.sfl with the text editor and verify the setting for the

Bluetooth profile

Example for Bluetooth SPP (SerialPortProfile)

Config {
[Uni]
Outmode=btser
}

Example for Bluetooth HiD (HumanInterfaceDevice)

Config {
[Uni]
Outmode=bthid
}

Set the Bluetooth profile supported by the host or required by the

application.

•

Serial Port Profile (SPP)

- The scanner connects to the host via
Bluetooth and emulates a serial connection. The scanner accepts an
incoming connection requested from a Bluetooth host.

SCANNDY MANUAL

Page 15

•

Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID)

­The scanner connects to the host via Bluetooth and emulates a
keyboard. The scanner accepts an incoming connection requested
from a Bluetooth host.

(See the SFL reference manual for further information)

3. Save the settings that have been made and open the file “config.ini” to

verify the general Bluetooth settings.

Example:
[BT]
Devname=SCANNDY808240
Master key=1234
Slave key=1234
Security=0
Available=0
Dirty=0
Defaddress=000000000000
Address=000000000000
SPPchannel=3

For further information please refer to the config_ini reference guide.

4. Save the settings and disconnect the device prom the PC.

On the host PC, launch the third party Bluetooth pairing application
and place the application into discover Bluetooth device mode.

5. Select the device with the device name configured in the file config.ini

from the discovered device list. The Bluetooth application may prompt
you to scan a passkey it generated, or for you to create and then scan
a pin.

6. If the Bluetooth application prompts you to generate a pin, enter the

configured Bluetooth pin
DEFAULT: 1234

SCANNDY MANUAL

7. If the Bluetooth application prompts you to enter the pass key it

generated, scan

numeric barcodes on page 12

and confirm by

Transmitting Barcode and/or RFID data to a host

Batch mode

All Barcode and RFID data scanned in batch mode are saved in the file
“Output.txt” on the removable drive “Scanndy”. Connect the device to the host
PC via USB and use the Windows-Explorer to navigate to the device
“SCANNDY”. Copy the file “Output.txt” to the host.

To clear the data from the device, delete the file “Output.txt”

SCANNDY MANUAL

Page 20

Transmitting data from a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi device

When the scanner is paired to a host via Bluetooth, data transmits to the host
after each scan and is not stored on the scanner unless the scanner moves
out of range of the host. For out of range usage you can configure the device to
either store the data in a cache memory or do not allow scanning.

If the device was configured to store the out of range captured data, it stores
the data in a file Cache.txt. After reconnect it transmits all cached data to the
host.

(See the SFL reference manual to see how to set the device to cache out

of range data)

Bidirectional communication for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
connected devices

For applications that require bidirectional communication between the device
and the host, PANMOBIL devices support an embedded communication
protocol SCOMP and REMOTE mode.
(See the SCOMP reference manual to see how to set the device to use SCOMP
protocol and/or REMOTE mode)

Note!
If the device is set to use SCOMP communication protocol, it is mandatory for
that the host application to support SCOMP protocol, too.

Vehicle Installation
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. You should consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle. An air bag inflates with great
force. DO NOT place objects in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment could result in
serious injury when the air bag inflates. Position your device in easy reach.
Make sure your device is accessible without removing your eyes from the
road.

Warnings for Use of Wireless Devices
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless
devices.

Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres – Vehicle Use
You are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel
depots, chemical plant and areas where the air contains chemical or particles
such as gain, dust or metal powders and any other area where you would be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Safety in Aircrafts
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport
or airline staff.
Consult airline staff and ask for its use in flight.

Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency and may affect medical electrical
equipment. Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are
requested to do so in hospitals or healthcare facilities to prevent interference
with sensitive medical equipment.

Pacemakers
It is recommended by Pacemaker manufacturers to maintain a minimum of
15cm (6 Inches) between a handheld wireless devices and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference. These recommendations are consistent with
independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology
Research. Persons with Pacemakers:

SCANNDY MANUAL

Page 40

- Should not carry the device in a breast pocket

- Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the

potential of interference.

- Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 Inches) from their

pacemakers when turned on.

- Turn OFF your device if you have any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place.

Other Medical Devices
Please consult the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if the
operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
