Bluetooth; Audio Support; 802.11 B/G And A/B/G Wireless Client; External Input/Output Port - Honeywell MX9 Reference Manual

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's
passcode.
The Bluetooth client can simultaneously connect to one Bluetooth scanner and one Bluetooth printer. Up to four Bluetooth
devices can be paired and managed using the LXEZ Pairing control panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Bluetooth).
Bluetooth device connection supported on the MX9 includes:
Bluetooth scanners / imagers
l
Zebra printer models
l
Honeywell Back of Hand Scanner
l
Bar code data captured by the Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the MX9
control panel.
Multiple beeps may be heard during a bar code scan using a 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.

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.

802.11 b/g and a/b/g Wireless Client

RS232 with support for powering a tethered device (e.g., scanner or imager)
l
Audio in and out for headset
l
Power input
l
Ethernet (accessible when MX9 is secured in a cradle's docking bay)
