Bluetooth Pairing - LXE MX7 Reference Manual

48

Bluetooth Pairing

The MX7 contains Bluetooth version 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) up to 3.0 Mbit/s over
the air. Bluetooth device connection (or pairing) can occur at distances up to 32.8 ft (10 meters)
Line of Sight. The wireless client retains network connectivity while Bluetooth is active.
The user will not be able to select PIN authentication or encryption on connections from the MX7.
However, the MX7 supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device
requests authentication or encryption, the MX7 displays a prompt for the PIN or passcode.
Maximum encryption is 128 bit. Encryption is based on the length of the user's passcode.
Bluetooth will simultaneously support one printer as a slave Bluetooth device and one scanner,
either as a slave or as a master Bluetooth device.
See Chapter 3 System Configuration, control panel section titled Bluetooth.
