Bluetooth LE

HID-Keyboard Function

--------------------------------------------------------------------------2/17------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1Bluetooth LE HID-Keyboard

The device ARE H9 BLE can read the transponder ID and transfer them wireless as a keyboard

input to a connected device, if this supports the Bluetooth Low Energy technology.

To use the wireless connection, a device/adapter (intern or extern e.g. USB-Dongle) must support

the following connection techniques:

-Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth Low Energy technology, Standard 4.0)

-Bluetooth Smart Ready (Bluetooth Low Energy technology, Standard 4.0)

The following operating systems support Bluetooth low energy feature:

-Android operating system from version 4.5

-Microsoft Windows 7 with Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Hardware (for example: Broadcom

BCM20702 chipset) and driver (for example with WIDCOMM Driver from version

v6.5.1.5800)

-Microsoft Windows 8 und 10 with corresponding hardware will support Bluetooth Low

Energy functions.

The operating system Microsoft Windows XP and earlier Microsoft Windows operating systems

will not support Bluetooth Low Energy technology and are not suitable to work with the ARE H9

BLE as a Bluetooth device.

The ARE H9 BLE can always connect only with one device at the same time, if the device to be

connected should be changed, it is necessary to unpair any existing pairing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------12/17------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.6 Operation of BLE HID-Keyboard Interface

In the operation mode online/BLE keyboard with an active connection every scanned transponder

number is sent as a keyboard input to the connected device.

To get the number displayed on the connected device there the focus should set on a text field.

A successful reading …

410 100090355403

Online/BLE KeyB*

this will be transmitted as: 1000000410100090355403

Note:

If the focus on the connected device is not set to a text box, or similar, the keystrokes while

transmitting the transponder ID could cause unwanted actions.

As long as the ARE H9 BLE detects an active Bluetooth connection it will signal this at the

reading mode by the symbol *in the lower right corner of the screen.

If the die Bluetooth connection at the operating mode Online/BLE keyboard is disconnected, for

example by leaving the range of the radio signal or by switching the device off, and a transponder

ID should transmitted the ARE H9 BLE will be waiting until the connection will be re-established,

during this the following screen is displayed:

Await Connection

Cancel ?

If the connection is re-established the ARE H9 BLE transmits automatically the ID number. The

waiting for a connection could be cancelled by the user any time.

As selected the operating mode Online/BLE keyboard is saved in the ARE H9, therefor during

switching on the ARE H9 it will first wait about a an active connection.

1.7 Further Interfaces

The use and functions of the USB interface is supported by the ARE H9 BLE.

During the use of the USB interface the Bluetooth part of the reader is not deactivated, it will only

not be used for data transmissions. Therefor the ARE H9 BLE will be still shown as connect t the

paired device.

2Microsoft Windows 7 Driver Installation

Because Bluetooth Low Energy is not supported on the operating system Microsoft Windows 7 of

the Microsoft drivers, it is necessary to install a suitable driver for the Bluetooth device you are

using which provides the support of Bluetooth Low Energy.

2.1 Broadcom BCM20702

Suitable and tested Bluetooth devices for Microsoft Windows 7 are for example devices

(intern/Dongle) using the Broadcom BCM20702 chipset (for example LM Technologies LM506).

Partial devices with this chipset are supplied with no more current drivers, which could cause that

the ARE H9 is detected but no pairing or keyboard function is available. For this case at the

customer CD for the ARE H9 BLE will provide an actual driver with the version v6.5.1.5800.

Please remove any previous version of Bluetooth software existing in your system before you start

to install the WIDCOMM drivers on the customer CD.

The remove procedures are as follows:

Step 1: Click Start/Settings, then select Control Panel.

Step 2: In the Control Panel window, double click Add/Remove programs icon.

Step 3: Find out the WIDCOMM or other Bluetooth Software then remove it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------14/17------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install the driver do the following steps:

Step 1: Execute Setup.exe and please click Yes to continue installation.

Step 2: Installation program will remind you to plug in, or activate, the Bluetooth adapter. The

reminder dialog box will not pop up if you already have plugged in the Adapter, or activated the

device in your PC

If a suitable Bluetooth receiver was found, the installation will start automatically.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------15/17------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Click Agree and Install Bluetooth Software to continue.

Step 4: Installation in Progress

--------------------------------------------------------------------------16/17------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5: Installation complete, may be a system restart is required for some features of the

software.

3Notes on operation

3.1 Energy saving options on Microsoft Windows

Should it be the case that in the current operation a connection to the ARE H9 BLE is lost and will

without a cause disconnected and reconnected, it may be because the energy saving options of

Microsoft Windows cause that the device is switched off. This can be caused by the settings of

either the HID keyboard, in internal adapter or an external USB dongle. Under Control Panel>

Device Manager> Right-click (under HID input devices) or the appropriate adapter> Power

Management there uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power and test

with setting the behavior again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------17/17------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.2 Connection loss after restart of MS Windows 7

After a Microsoft Windows 7 computer restart, it may happen that the device can no longer be

used without switching the off the Bluetooth connection and switched it on again. This could be s

solved by disable / enable the internal adapter (in the Control Panel) or remove and plug in and

again the USB dongle.
