Configuring Bluetooth Capabilities With Voiceconsole; Pairing Initiated By A Talkman Device - Honeywell A700 Hardware Reference Manual

It is important to remember that the use of a Bluetooth function (scanning, printing or headset)
disables the physical port on the A700/A700x device for that use.
More information can be found in the Voice Console Online Help.

Configuring Bluetooth Capabilities with VoiceConsole

You can enable Bluetooth on Talkman A700/A700x devices using VoiceConsole. Once enabled,
the Talkman can be paired with a Bluetooth peripheral. The pairing can be initiated by either the
device or the peripheral.
More information can be found in the Voice Console Online Help.

Pairing Initiated by a Talkman Device

This method of pairing is useful if a single Talkman device will always be associated with one
scanner. If the communication link is disrupted and the scanner disconnects from the Talkman
device, the device typically recovers the connection automatically. Additionally, the consistent
pairing makes troubleshooting easier.
This method, however, may restrict use to ways that are not convenient. One disadvantage is that
the scanner must be swapped out using VoiceConsole if there is a problem.
To enable a Talkman device to initiate a connection with a Bluetooth device you will need:
The Bluetooth address of the Bluetooth device as well as the security code (if security on
l
the device is enabled) for the device.
Access to VoiceConsole to set up the pairing. For production use, Honeywell recommends
l
that you create a specific device profile in VoiceConsole to store many of the following
settings.
Pairing instructions specific to your scanner.

For this one-to-one pairing, consider labeling both devices so that the correct pairs are
consistently used.
1. Using VoiceConsole, locate the specific Talkman device to be paired with the scanner.
2. View the properties of the device, and ensure that Bluetooth is enabled. If it is not enabled,
click Edit this device and set Bluetooth Enabled to "enabled."
A device profile can include the parameter Bluetooth_IsEnabled set to TRUE in the
advanced settings.
More information can be found in the Voice Console Online Help.
3. Select the Pair this device with a peripheral option.
4. For Pairing Type select "Bluetooth Scanner."
The parameter BarcodePort can be set to BT_SCAN for scanners or BT_PRINT for printers.
Configure this parameter in the advanced settings of the task package.
5. For Connection Mode select "Device initiates connection with peripheral."
6. In the Bluetooth Adress enter the Bluetooth MAC address of the scanner. This 12-character
ID is labeled "MAC ID" and is found on the device label.
7. For Security select "Enabled" if a security key is required.
