To use the Bluetooth adapter

1 Install the Bluetooth adapter on your host PC.

2 Create a Bluetooth connection between your scanner and host

PC.

3 Collect data with your scanner.

4 (Optional) Configure your Bluetooth communications parameters.

These instructions describe how to perform each step.

Installing the RS-232 Adapter

1 Insert the RS-232 adapter into an unused serial COM port on your host PC. Make sure to note the COM port number.

Note: If you are running Keyport Lite, the serial

COM port on your host PC must match the COM port selected in Keyport Lite.

If the green light inside the adapter starts blinking, your host

PC is providing power to the adapter through Pin 9. You have successfully installed the adapter.

If the green light inside the adapter is not blinking, you need to supply power to the adapter. Continue with Step 2.

2 Attach the appropriate country-specific power plug to the power supply.

3 Connect the power supply to the RS-232 adapter and AC power. The green light inside the adapter starts blinking.

Modifying Configuration Parameters

(Optional)

You can use a terminal emulator application, such as

HyperTerminal to enter command mode and modify the RS-232

Bluetooth adapter’s configuration parameters. Command mode can be useful if you are:

• creating a host-initiated Bluetooth connection.

• debugging or programming an application.

Note: You can only enter command mode if the

RS-232 Bluetooth adapter is not connected to a

Bluetooth scanner. If the adapter is in command mode and a Bluetooth connection is made, the adapter automatically exits command mode.

For more information about modifying configuration parameters, visit the Intermec support services knowledge base

(Knowledge Central) at intermec.custhelp.com
