Authentication
For security concerns, it is suggested that you enable authentication and specify a unique PIN
code, also known as the passkey used to pair two devices before establishing a WPA connection.
When any changes are made to authentication and PIN code on the scanner side, you will have to
remove the scanner from the paired device list (called unpairing) and go through the whole
process to re-establish the connection.
The scanner allows up to 16 characters for a PIN code and provides two options for authentication:
Enable Authentication with Preset PIN
Have the scanner read the “Use preset PIN” label, and change the preset PIN if necessary. This
means you will have to enter exactly the same string for your computer or PDA to connect to
the scanner. If the PIN or passkey is incorrect, any connection attempt will be turned down by
the scanner. See step 8 in
3.2.3 Connect to
Dongle.
Enable Authentication with Random PIN or No Authentication
By default, it is set to “No PIN or use random PIN”, which depends on the setting of the target
device. (No PIN = No authentication.)
Note: When using BT HID, some device driver may not support pre-defined PIN code for
authentication. In this case, make sure you have the scanner set to “No PIN or use
random PIN” before pairing. While pairing, the host PIN code will be displayed on
the computer screen. Have the scanner read the setup barcode “Enter PIN Code in
Decimal” or “Enter PIN Code in Hexadecimal” to input the matching PIN code.
