Generate Pairing Barcode for Datalogic Bluetooth scanners
If a hand scanner has lost the connection to the base station or a new hand scanner should be paired with the base station, the pairing can be done by following these instructions:
- Identify the COM-port of the scanner (either with rusty configuration or device manager)
- Stop MetriX Rusty Devices to free COM port of the scanner
- Use HTERM to connect to scanners COM port and obtain the scanners bluetooth address
- In HTERMs input control, choose “CR-LF” for “Send on Enter”
- Send $! -> The base station should respond with an identification and serial number.
- Send $S to enter service mode
- Send $EU092 -> The base station should answer with its 12-digit bluetooth address
- Send $s to exit service mode
- In some cases the approach with HTERM can return a BT address that is obviously incorrect. In these cases, you need to install the software Datalogic Aladdin.
- Connect to the base station (make sure to deactivate the MetriX devices service, otherwise Aladdin won’t find the base station)
- Open Terminal (lower right)
- Send $EU092 (do not send $S / $s, that’s not needed in Aladdin)
- Restart MetriX Rusty Devices
- Use https://barcode.tec-it.com/en/?data=%5C%3CFNC3%3ELnkCxxxxxxxxxxxx to create a pairing barcode
- The code has the format Code-128 and the syntax is \<FNC3>LnkC{12-digit BT address}
- FNC3 is a Code-128 specific control sign
- LnkC is a string literal
- Replace the xxxxxxxxxxx in the link above with the bluetooth address
- Download the barcode
- The code has the format Code-128 and the syntax is \<FNC3>LnkC{12-digit BT address}
- Send the pairing code to the customer
- When the code is scanned, the handheld device should be automatically paired with the base station
