BT Security Features
On the BT system, it is possible to set a (configurable) PIN code to authenticate/connect BT
devices, and encrypt the data.
The BT PIN code can be enabled and configured by reading the bar codes in the following
sections.
If you are using a BT scanner directly connected to a host through a BT dongle,
verify that the scanner and the BT driver used by the dongle share the same PIN
code and the same security level. Otherwise the connection cannot be established.
Follow these steps to set the PIN code for a scanner:
1. Enable BT Security Mode by scanning the “Enable” bar code below.
2. Select a PIN code length of either 4 or 16 characters by
scanning the appropriate bar code
in "Select PIN Code Length" on page 248.
3. Scan the relevant bar code from "Set PIN Code" on page 248, then scan the desired alpha-
numeric characters from the keypad in Appendix D. Keypad to set the PIN code.
See page 288 in “Refer
ences” for more detailed information and examples for this feature.

Changing the security mode setting will unlink the de
vices. If the Automatic Configu-
ration Update is set to the default “Enabled” setting,
the devices must only be
relinked. If the Automatic Configuration Update is set to “Disabled,” the Security
Mode setting must also be updated in the Base Station using Aladdin. After the Base
Station has been updated, the devices must be relinked.
