Initial Configuration

1. Select Start > Settings > System > Bluetooth or tap the Bluetooth icon on the Start screen. The EZPair application opens.
2. Tap the Settings Tab.
3. Tap the Turn On Bluetooth button. The button name changes to Turn Off Bluetooth.
4. Change the Computer Friendly Name at the bottom of the Settings display. The Bluetooth MX8 default name is determined
by the factory installed software version. Best practice is to assign every MX8 a unique name (up to 32 characters) before
Bluetooth Discovery is initiated.
5. Check or uncheck the MX8 Bluetooth options on the Settings tab.
6. Tap the OK button to save your changes.

Subsequent Use

Start screen and Bluetooth device Icon states change as Bluetooth devices are discovered, pair, connect and disconnect. A
Start page Bluetooth icon with a red background indicates Bluetooth is active and not paired with any device. A Bluetooth man-
aged device icon with a red background indicates a disconnected paired device.
1. Tap the Bluetooth icon on the Start screen desktop to open the EZPair application.
2. Tap the Bluetooth Devices tab.
3. Tap the Discover button. When the Bluetooth module begins searching for in-range Bluetooth devices, the button name
changes to Stop. Tap the Stop button to cancel the Discover function at any time.
4. The discovered devices are listed in the Bluetooth Devices window.
5. Tap to highlight a Bluetooth device in the Discovered window and double-tap to open the device properties menu.
6. Tap Pair as Scanner to set up the MX8 to receive scanner data.
7. Tap Serial Device to set up the MX8 to communicate with a Bluetooth serial device.
8. Tap Pair as Printer to set up the MX8 to send data to the printer.
9. Tap Disconnect to stop pairing with the device. Once disconnected, tap Delete to remove the device name and data from the
MX8 Bluetooth Devices list, if desired. The device is deleted from the list after the OK button is clicked.
10. Upon successful pairing, the selected device may react to indicate a successful connection. The reaction may be an audio
signal from the device, flashing LED on the device, or a dialog box is placed on the MX8 display.
11. Whenever the MX8 is turned On, all previously paired, active, Bluetooth devices in the vicinity are paired, one at a time,
with the MX8. If the devices cannot connect to the MX8 before the re-connect timeout time period expires (default is
approximately 20 seconds for each paired device) there is no indication of the continuing disconnect state if Report Failure
to Reconnect is disabled.

PAN profiles, unmodified Ethernet payloads (using BNEP) can exchange packets be-
tween Bluetooth devices. PANU is a PAN User service that uses either the NAP or
the GN service.
