BLUETOOTH CONNECTION
Pairing
For Bluetooth enabled devices to pair to a Bluetooth enabled host.
Note!
The following description is only valid for devices with factory installed
software. Devices with custom software can behave different, depending on
the programming.
1. Connect the device to the host using the USB port and brows the drive
“Scanndy”. And search for the file *.sfl
2. Open the file *.sfl with the text editor and verify the setting for the
Bluetooth profile
Example for Bluetooth SPP (SerialPortProfile)
Config {
[Uni]
Outmode=btser
}
Example for Bluetooth HiD (HumanInterfaceDevice)
Config {
[Uni]
Outmode=bthid
}
Set the Bluetooth profile supported by the host or required by the
application.
•
Serial Port Profile (SPP)
- The scanner connects to the host via
Bluetooth and emulates a serial connection. The scanner accepts an
incoming connection requested from a Bluetooth host.

SCANNDY MANUAL
Page 15
•
Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID)
-
The scanner connects to the host via Bluetooth and emulates a
keyboard. The scanner accepts an incoming connection requested
from a Bluetooth host.
(See the SFL reference manual for further information)
3. Save the settings that have been made and open the file “config.ini” to
verify the general Bluetooth settings.
Example:
[BT]
Devname=SCANNDY808240
Master key=1234
Slave key=1234
Security=0
Available=0
Dirty=0
Defaddress=000000000000
Address=000000000000
SPPchannel=3
For further information please refer to the config_ini reference guide.
4. Save the settings and disconnect the device prom the PC.
On the host PC, launch the third party Bluetooth pairing application
and place the application into discover Bluetooth device mode.
5. Select the device with the device name configured in the file config.ini
from the discovered device list. The Bluetooth application may prompt
you to scan a passkey it generated, or for you to create and then scan
a pin.
6. If the Bluetooth application prompts you to generate a pin, enter the
configured Bluetooth pin
DEFAULT: 1234

SCANNDY MANUAL

7. If the Bluetooth application prompts you to enter the pass key it
generated, scan
numeric barcodes on page 12
and confirm by
scanning ENTER
8. The right LED (2) lights constant blue as long as the device is
connected
The Bluetooth configuration can be seen in the device system menu
alternatively. Read the system menu description for Bluetooth settings on
page 24.

Wi-Fi CONNECTION
For Wi-Fi enabled devices to connect to a host.
Note!
The following description is only valid for devices with factory installed
software. Devices with custom software can behave different, depending on
the programming.
1. Connect the device to the host using the USB port. Brows the drive
“Scanndy”. and search for the file *.sfl
2. Open the file *.sfl and make sure the output mode is set for Wi-Fi
Example for Wi-Fi output
Config {
[Uni]
Outmode=Wi-Fi
Outproto=plain
}
(See the SFL reference manual for further information)
3. Save the settings that have been made and open the file “config.ini” to
verify the general Wi-Fi settings.
Example:
[Wi-Fi]
Host=127.0.0.1
Port=80
Dhcp=1

For further information please refer to the config_ini reference guide.
4. Save the settings and disconnect the device prom the PC
5. The right LED (2) lights flashes blue (every 1 sec.) for the time the
device is trying to connected to the wireless network and to the host
6. The right LED (2) flashes blue (every 5 sec.) for the time the device is
connected
The Wi-Fi configuration can be seen in the device system menu alternatively.
Read the system menu description for Wi-Fi settings.
Transmitting Barcode and/or RFID data to a host
Batch mode
All Barcode and RFID data scanned in batch mode are saved in the file
“Output.txt” on the removable drive “Scanndy”. Connect the device to the host
PC via USB and use the Windows-Explorer to navigate to the device
“SCANNDY”. Copy the file “Output.txt” to the host.
To clear the data from the device, delete the file “Output.txt”

SCANNDY MANUAL
Page 20
Transmitting data from a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi device
When the scanner is paired to a host via Bluetooth, data transmits to the host
after each scan and is not stored on the scanner unless the scanner moves
out of range of the host. For out of range usage you can configure the device to
either store the data in a cache memory or do not allow scanning.
If the device was configured to store the out of range captured data, it stores
the data in a file Cache.txt. After reconnect it transmits all cached data to the
host.
(See the SFL reference manual to see how to set the device to cache out
of range data)
Bidirectional communication for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
connected devices
For applications that require bidirectional communication between the device
and the host, PANMOBIL devices support an embedded communication
protocol SCOMP and REMOTE mode.
(See the SCOMP reference manual to see how to set the device to use SCOMP
protocol and/or REMOTE mode)
Note!
If the device is set to use SCOMP communication protocol, it is mandatory for
that the host application to support SCOMP protocol, too.
