  • Page 19: Establishing Bluetooth Communication

    STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION Bluetooth communication must be established between the FocusBT and the host device before the FocusBT can be used for normal operation. In a Bluetooth network, the FocusBT can operate as a server (service-provide mode), or as a client. When FocusBT Acts as a Server to Other Bluetooth Devices FocusBT’s default is to act as a server to other Bluetooth devices.
  • Page 20: When Focusbt Acts As A Client To Other Bluetooth Devices

    STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION When FocusBT Acts as a Client to Other Bluetooth Devices In the client device mode of operation, the FocusBT initiates the Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth address of the remote device is required to establish a connection. The remote device must also be configured to accept incoming connections and must support the Bluetooth Serial Port (SPP) profile.
  • Page 21: When Focusbt Is Used With An Ms9535 Cradle

    STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION When FocusBT is Used with an MS9535 Cradle FocusBT can be configured to communicate with an MS9535 cradle but it will require the FocusBT to be configured to use a special communication protocol used by the MS9535 cradle. Scan the Enable MS9535 Cradle Protocol bar code below to enable the special communication protocol.
  • Page 22: Inventory Mode

    STABLISHING LUETOOTH OMMUNICATION Inventory Mode In Inventory mode, there is a quantity field associated with each barcode. Similar to RangeGate mode, the data is stored in the scanner’s non-volatile memory. However, in inventory mode, the data is always stored independent of whether the Bluetooth connection is active or not, and is not uploaded automatically until a special barcode is scanned.
