Bluetooth Security

The digital scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption. Authentication can be requested by either
the remote device or the digital scanner. When Authentication is requested, the digital scanner uses its
programmed PIN code to generate a link key. The digital scanner stores this link key upon pairing, so you do not
have to re-enter the PIN code when moving in and out of range, switching profiles, or switching between devices
(e.g., between the cradle and the application).
Once Authentication is complete, either device may then negotiate to enable Encryption.
NOTE A remote device can still request Authentication.

Authentication

To force Authentication with a remote device (including the cradle), scan the Enable Authentication bar code
below. To prevent the digital scanner from forcing Authentication, scan the Disable Authentication bar code
below.
