Connecting your OPN2002 as a Virtual COM port (VCP)
First step of connecting your OPN2002 as Bluetooth keyboard to a remote device is
to make sure that Bluetooth VCP default is configured (see 'Supported defaults').
When using Bluetooth VCP, the remote device can either connect to your OPN2002
(slave mode) or your OPN2002 can connect to remote device (as master).
Note: Currently it is recommended to disable authentication / encryption on your
remote device to avoid any troubles with having to enter a PIN-code on your
OPN2002.
Configuring a remote Bluetooth address
If you want the OPN2002 to connect to a remote device (as master) it will be
necessary to configure the Bluetooth address of the remote device first.
Usually the address is displayed on the product label as a hexadecimal code
(example: 00-11-F6-03-39-69). Otherwise consult the documentation of the device
how to retrieve the device address code. To configure this Bluetooth address in the
OPN2002 you'll have to create a barcode label containing this hexadecimal code as
described below.
Opticon provides a simple on-line application on for this purpose:

Type in the digits of the hexadecimal code in numbers and capital characters
without dashes, dots and spaces (example: 0011F6033969).
Submit the code into a barcode and print the screen to have it available for
scanning.
After you've created the barcode, you should scan the barcode to configure the
Bluetooth address and save it in non-volatile memory. (The OPN2002 will
automatically to try to establish a Bluetooth connection when reading this label).
