BT SECURITY FEATURES
On the BT system, it is possible to set a (configurable) PIN code to authenticate/
connect BT devices, and encrypt the data.
The BT PIN code can be enabled and configured by reading the
bar codes in the
following sections.
NOTE
If you are using a BT scanner directly connected
to a host through a BT dongle, verify that
the scanner and the BT driver used by the dongle share the same PIN code and the same
security level. Otherwise the connection cannot be established.
Follow these steps to set the PIN code for a scanner:
1. Enable BT Security
Mode by scanning the “Enable” bar code below.
2. Select a PIN code length of either 4 or 16 characters by scanning the
appropriate bar code in "Select PIN Code Length" on page 270.
3. Scan the relevant bar code from "Set PIN Code" on page 270, then scan the
desired alphanumeric characters from the keypad in Appendix D to set the
PIN code.
See page 310 in “References” for more detailed information and examples for
this feature.
BT Security Mode
This feature enables/disables authentication and encryption of the BT link. Use
the feature "BT Pin Code" on
page 270 to specify the PIN code used to authenti-
cate the BT Link.
NOTE
Changing the security mode setting as well as changing the BT pin
code will unlink the devices. If the Automatic Configuration Update is
set to the default “Enabled” setting, the devices must only be
relinked. If the Automatic Configuration Update is set to “Disabled,”
the Security Mode setting must also be updated in the Base Station
using Aladdin. After the Base Station has been updated, the devices
must be relinked. In any of the cases of unlinking discussed here the
gun must be lodged onto base station to try the relinking.
