3.3.3 How to Connect eDynamo to an Android Host via Bluetooth LE
To connect eDynamo to an Android host that supports Bluetooth LE:
1) If any Bluetooth LE host software has an active data connection to the device, close the connection.
2) On the Android 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 Google Play 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 Android host, launch the Settings application and open the Bluetooth menu.
7) Press the SEARCH FOR DEVICES or Scan button to show an AVAILABluetooth LE DEVICES
list.
8) Locate the seven-digit serial number on the label on the bottom of the device.
9) In the list of pairable devices, select the device called eDynamo-xxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the
device’s serial number.
10) 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) to return to the Bluetooth
configuration page. The device appears in the PAIRED DEVICES list.
11) Use the host software or the MagTek Test app to test swiping a card.
12) Remember to change the default password. See the eDynamo Programmer’s Reference
documentation for details.
To unpair from the device, follow these steps:
1) Locate the device in the Bluetooth configuration page.
2) Press the settings (gear) icon.
3) Press the Unpair button and make sure the device disappears from the Paired devices list.
