Understanding Bluetooth Pairing
With Scanners
Basic Bluetooth Roles and Concepts
Pairing: Two Bluetooth devices are paired with each other by configuring each device’s mode.
These modes are:
Acceptor – the device configured as an acceptor will accept a connection from the
other device. It will not attempt to actively connect to any other device. It may
require some security information from the initiator device before accepting the
connection.
Initiator – the device will actively search for (page) and connect to the other device
(which must be discoverable and configured as an acceptor). If security settings have
been configured on the initiator device, it may need to present these settings to the
acceptor to complete the connection.
MAC address: Bluetooth devices such as scanners are identified by a unique 12 hexadecimal
(base 16) address (i.e. composed of the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F, typically expressed in
pairs separated by “-“ or “:” such as 08-00-2B-1F-3D-47 or 00:00:2F:E0:BC:7C). This address
is sometimes called the “Bluetooth MAC address” (Media Access Control).
Talkman T5 Series terminals have this address as a barcode on the rear of the terminal on
the label printed with “BT” for “Bluetooth”. Similarly most scanners will also have their
Bluetooth address printed and/or expressed in bar code on the device.
Configuring Talkman T5 Series Bluetooth
Capabilities With VoiceConsole
Talkman T5 Series is configured with the management software, VoiceConsole, to enable
Bluetooth on the Talkman terminal. Pairing of the Talkman with a Bluetooth device can be
done in either of two ways: (1) the connection is initiated by the Talkman; or (2) the
connection is initiated by the Bluetooth device.
Connection initiated by the Talkman
This is useful when it is desired that a specific Talkman and device are consistently used
together to make troubleshooting easier. It is important that Talkman terminals and their
associated devices must be labeled so that the correct pairs are consistently used.
However, it also may restrict use to ways that are not convenient. One disadvantage of this
set-up is that if there is a problem with a particular scanner, then it must be swapped out
using VoiceConsole.
To enable Talkman to initiate a connection with a device, using VoiceConsole:
1. Set the parameter “Bluetooth_IsEnabled” to “TRUE” in the advanced settings of the
device profile.
