Communication Settings

Bluetooth

The reader supports only automatic IP configuration of Bluetooth interface.

If a bluetooth client is connected to the reader then the actual current values of the reader's IPV4 address, Subnet mask and IPV6 address and Prefix Length are diplayed on this page in the appropriate tabs. Since these are automatically configured and fixed for a reader, they cannot be changed manually.

If a bluetooth USB dongle is connected to the reader then the following bluetooth properties can be set in this page

• Discoverable Whether the reader will be seen by other bluetooth enabled deivces on a discovery.
• Pairable Whether any bluetooth enabled device will allowed to pair with reader.
• Use Passkey This option when enabled mandates the connecting device to supply a predetermined passkey which will be used for authentication while pairing.
• Passkey Passkey that will be used for authentication.
• DHCP start address The starting address of the DHCP IP range out of which an IP will be assigned to the connecting device.
• DHCP end address The end address of the DHCP IP range out of which an IP will be assigned to the connecting device.

Note: The DHCP IP range specified using the DHCP start address and DHCP end address options will also determine the IP of the bluetooth interface of the reader. The First two octets of the IP address of the reader bluetooth interface will be taken from the IP range specified and the last two octets formed using the reader BD address.
