3.3.5 How to Connect eDynamo to a Windows 10 Host [Version 1703 or Above] via
Bluetooth LE (Windows Drivers)
To connect eDynamo to a host with Windows 10 version 1703 or above, and Bluetooth 4.0 or higher
hardware that supports Bluetooth LE, follow these steps:
1) Make sure the host’s Bluetooth interface is turned on and working correctly.
2) If any Bluetooth LE host software has an active data connection to the device, close the connection.
3) On the host, install and configure the software you intend to use with eDynamo (if you do not yet
have that software, you can use MTNETDemo.exe included in 99510132 Dynamag / DynaMAX /
eDynamo / uDynamo / aDynamo / mDynamo .NET SDK for Windows, available from
MagTek.com, to perform simple tests):
a) Make sure the host software is configured to look for the device on the proper connection type.
b) Make sure the host software knows which device(s) it should interface with.
c) Make sure the host software is configured to properly interpret incoming data from the device.
When using Bluetooth LE, the device transmits data in GATT format.
4) Make sure eDynamo’s battery is adequately charged (see section 3.2 About Power for instructions).
5) Make sure the eDynamo output connection is configured to transmit card data over Bluetooth LE.
This is the factory default.
6) In the Start menu type Bluetooth and select Bluetooth and other devices settings, or double-
click the Bluetooth Devices icon in the taskbar to launch the Bluetooth & other devices
window.
7) Locate the seven-digit serial number on the label on the bottom of the device.
8) 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.
9) Press the Add Bluetooth or other device button to launch an Add a device window.
10) Under Choose the kind of device you want to add, select Bluetooth.
11) Read through the list of pairable devices and locate the device called eDynamo-xxxxxxx, where
xxxxxxx is the device’s serial number. Select the device. Enter the configured passkey (or one of
the defaults, 999999 or 000000) and press the Connect button.
12) After a short period of time, the text Connected appears below the device you are pairing with.
Note that in this case, “Connected” means the device is paired, but the host does not have an active
data connection until the host software initiates one.
13) Press the Done button to close the Add a device window.
14) Use the host software to test swiping a card.
15) Remember to change the default password. See the eDynamo Programmer’s Reference documents
for details.
To unpair from the device:
1) Select the device in the Bluetooth and other devices settings window.
2) Press the Remove device button.
