5.3 Connecting to PC via Bluetooth
5.3.1 Bluetooth Operation
By default, the Bluetooth module is discoverable and connectable (Slave mode or device).
Bluetooth authentication is enabled. When enabled, Bluetooth uses SSP (Secured Simple
Pairing) to pair with another remote device. The pairing will be done transparently for the user.
Note: When Bluetooth authentication is disabled, the default PIN code is 1234. This may be
required with older Bluetooth
If the reader must connect by itself to a remote device, the menu allows to search for the
devices in the vicinity and pair to the desired device. Once a device is selected, the reader will
operate as Master and will constantly try to connect to the associated device. In the Master
mode, the reader is NOT connectable.
Note: The Connection to an iPhone or an iPad requires the Master mode.
The reader keeps in memory the last 4 devices it connected to for easy re-connection.
