Listen for PC
The Listen for PC option lets you select IrDA or Bluetooth as the
connection type to communicate with a PC. To enter Listen for PC
mode, tap the Listen for PC icon from the Field Communicator Main
Menu. IrDA is initially set as the default connection type and is
automatically enabled when you open Listen for PC.
You can change the connection type at any time by tapping the
Change Connection Type button and then selecting an option. Tap
OK to use the selected connection type for only the current session.
The default connection type is used the next time you open Listen for
PC. Tap Save as Default to always use the selected connection type
when Listen for PC is opened.
After you select the connection type, the 475 Field Communicator
waits for a connection from the PC. When the 475 is connected, a
message appears and the PC name is listed in the Connected PC field
on the Listen for PC window.
NOTE
The Power key, standby timer, and auto-off timer are disabled when
the 475 Field Communicator is in Listen for PC mode.
Bluetooth
The Bluetooth interface (if licensed) lets your 475 Field Communicator
connect to the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility version 3.0 or
higher to transfer device descriptions, system software, configurations,
Event Captures, application licenses, and ScratchPad (.txt) files.
Check your AMS Device Manager documentation to see if Bluetooth is
supported.
