Input/Output Connector; Audio Support; Bluetooth - Honeywell MX9 User Manual

Input/Output Connector

A single external connector at the base of the MX9 provides the following signals:
• USB Host and USB Client
• RS232 with support for powering a tethered device (e.g., scanner or imager)
• Audio in and out for headset
• Power input
• Ethernet (only accessible when MX9 is secured in a cradle docking bay)
The MX9 cables are designed to be securely connected to this port. This port is also used to connect the MX9 to the docking
bay connector in cradles.
A tethered protective cap is provided to cover the I/O connector when it is not in use.

Audio Support

All Microsoft-supplied audio codecs are included in the OS image. The hardware codecs, the input and output analog voice
circuitry and the system design are designed to support voice applications using a headset accessory cable.

Bluetooth

The MX9 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 to or from the MX9. However, the MX9
supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device requests authentication or encryption, the MX9
displays a prompt for the PIN or passcode. Maximum encryption is 128 bit. Encryption is based on the length of the user
passcode.
Bluetooth device connection supported on the MX9 includes:
• Bluetooth scanners / imagers
• Zebra printer models
• Honeywell Back of Hand Scanner
Bluetooth devices can be paired and managed using the Bluetooth control panel.
Bar code data captured by a mobile Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the MX9 Data Collection panel.
Multiple beeps may be heard during a bar code scan using the mobile Bluetooth scanner; beeps from the mobile Bluetooth
scanner as the bar code data is accepted/rejected, and other beeps from the MX9 during final bar code data manipulation.
