  • Page 1 (OS version: RBJV0211 / Application version: RFJ35530) This brief setup guide describes the features as well as detailed instructions to be able to use, customize and upgrade the software of the OPR3301. Also it will briefly describe how to use the CRD3301 communication cradle.

  • Page 2: Getting Started

    * For easy-of-use all configuration labels in this manual can be read without reading the traditional SET/END labels. After reading one of the labels above, the OPR3301 will try to transmit its data to the CRD-3301, which will then forward the barcode data as either serial data to the RS232 port of the CRD3301 or as keyboard data to its USB port.
  • Page 3 4, which is located underneath the CRD3301. If you move out of range (or turned off) the CRD3301, then the OPR3301 will try to reconnect for 5 minutes. Afterwards, you can also reconnect manually by pressing the trigger key for 5 seconds or by reading the Bluetooth address label underneath the CRD3301 again.
  • Page 4 When connected, a scanned barcode should now be transmitted to your PC (or other device that supports USB-HID) as keyboard data. If you move out of range (or turned off) the CRD3301, then the OPR3301 will try to reconnect for 5 minutes. Afterwards, you can also reconnect manually by pressing the trigger key for 5 seconds or by reading the Bluetooth address label underneath the CRD3301 again.
  • Page 5 Bluetooth address of your OPR3301 as PIN code, since that is the default PIN code of your OPR3301. To skip having to enter a PIN code on your OPR3301, read the 'Fixed PIN code' label below to configure this. To change this configuration back to default again (= entering the PIN code manually) you can read the other label.
  • Page 6 If you want to use a different PIN code or you are only allowed to enter a random PIN code on your OPR3301, then you will have to enter this PIN code using so called direct input labels. These labels can be found below and in the Universal Menu Book (chapter 4.3.3.).
  • Page 7 When using Bluetooth SPP, the remote device can either connect to your OPR3301 (slave mode) or your OPR3301 can connect to remote device (as master). If you want the OPR3301 to connect to a remote device (as master) it will be necessary to configure the Bluetooth address of the remote device first.
  • Page 8 COM port, please refer to documentation of your remote Bluetooth device. The first time you try to connect your OPR3301 to a Bluetooth device you will have to scan the created Bluetooth address label. Once the Bluetooth address is configured, it will also be possible to do a connection attempt by pressing the trigger key for 5 seconds.
  • Page 9 These last 4 digits of the Bluetooth address are also shown in the Bluetooth name of the OPR3301. If you wish to use a different PIN code, this is possible by using the 'Set/End PIN-code' menu labels, which can be found in chapter 2.3.2 of the...
  • Page 10 Com port on your remote device to establish the connection with the OPR3301 If you've lost your connection or have closed the COM port, then the OPR3301 will stay connectable for 5 minutes (by default). After this period, you'll need to read the 'make discoverable and connectable' label again to allow the remote device to re-establish the connection.
  • Page 11 Manually unpair * * Note: Reading the 'unpair' label will force the OPR3301 to redo the pairing on the next connection attempt. This can be useful in situations that you don't want unauthorized people to connect your OPR3301 to your remote device.
  • Page 12 By default the OPR3301 will try to reconnect after a connection loss for 5 minutes. (When using the OPR3301 in slave mode it will stay connectable for 5 minutes to allow the remote device to reconnect.) This reconnect time is configurable and it can also be disabled.

  • Page 13: General Configuration Options

    The OPR3301 supports various configuration options that can be found in the Opticon Universal menu book. This makes it possible to customize the OPR3301 to your own needs and requirements. The latest Universal menu book can always be found on our web site.
  • Page 14 OPN2002 terminal). However, this manual will only describe the default application for the OPR3301. Boot loader. This part of the software boots the OPR3301. The boot loader is like the BIOS of a PC. It is not subject to change in the future, so no boot loader software updates will be available on our web site.
  • Page 15 On the following pages detailed instructions will be given on how to load new software on the OPR3301. To be able to upgrade the OPR3301 you will either need the CRD3301 or a PC with a third party Bluetooth dongle that supports Bluetooth SPP.
  • Page 16 Step 2: Configuring the OPR3301 and establishing a Bluetooth connection Since your CRD3301 will now behave like a Bluetooth dongle that's attached to a PC, it is also necessary to configure your OPR3301 as if it's connected to a PC. Read the label below to make this configuration.
  • Page 17 If the received files are found to be ok, then the OPR3301 will start installing the software. This can take up to 15 seconds to complete. In case the OPR3301 detects that the uploaded file is not compatible it will sound a low error beep and no software will be installed.
  • Page 18 6.2.2 Updating the OPR3301 using a third party Bluetooth dongle * The first step of upgrading the OPR3301 using a third party Bluetooth dongle is to establish a working Bluetooth SPP connection. There is however a difficulty when creating a working a SPP connection for downloading.
  • Page 19 Disable auto connect (on reading a Bluetooth address label) 2-Button interface of the OPN2002 The OPN2002 has the advantage over the OPR3301 of having 2 keys instead of just 1. This makes the user interface of the OPN2002 a little more user friendly.
  • Page 20 OPN2002 RFG* * It is possible to load an OPR3301 application file (software code: RFJ) on the OPN2002, because the hardware is mostly the same. The only main differences are the presence of an USB connector and RS232 cradle contacts on OPN2002.
  • Page 21 OPLx724. See chapter 2.3.3 of the Universal menu book. When connecting to a PC, the default PIN-code of the OPR3301 equals the last 4 digits of its own Bluetooth address, in contrary of OPLx724 that uses an empty PIN-code.

  • Page 22: Troubleshooting

    Trouble shooting Since the OPR3301 has no display, it also doesn't have a system menu to resort to when you've installed a wrong application that prevents you from loading new software on the OPR3301 or when your OPR3301 is no longer responding for some reason.
