3.3.2 How to Connect eDynamo to an iOS Host via Bluetooth LE
To connect eDynamo to an iOS host that supports Bluetooth LE, follow these steps:
1) If any Bluetooth LE host software has an active data connection to the device, close the connection.
2) On the host, install and configure the host software you intend to use with eDynamo. If you do not
yet have that software, you can download a test tool from the App Store called MagTek Test,
published by MagTek, Inc..
3) Make sure eDynamo’s battery is adequately charged (see section 3.2 About Power for instructions).
4) Make sure the eDynamo output connection is configured to transmit card data over Bluetooth LE.
This is the factory default.
5) Press the pushbutton for 2 seconds until the Bluetooth Status LED starts flashing. The Bluetooth
Status LED flashes blue once per second for up to 60 seconds, or until a host pairs or connects.
6) On the iOS host, launch the Settings app, select Bluetooth, and make sure the host’s Bluetooth
radio is turned On.
7) Use the host application or the MagTek Test app (not the device’s Settings app) to pair with the
device. If you are using the MagTek Test app, the steps are as follows. Other host software may be
similar:
a) Launch the host software app.
b) Select eDynamo as the device type.
c) Press the Connect button.
d) Locate the seven-digit serial number on the label on the bottom of the device.
e) In the list of pairable devices, select eDynamo-xxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the device’s serial
number.
8) When the host pops up a Bluetooth Pairing Request message asking for a code, enter the
configured passkey (or one of the defaults, 999999 or 000000). The app should report the device is
now Connected.
