1.6/ The different connection methods

There are two (2) different way to create a connection from a Host and a scanner:

-Slave mode (by default)

The Host (PC, BaracodaManager, …) is creating the connection onto the scanner.

-Master mode

The scanner is creating itself a connection to the recorded Host Bluetooth address. This connection attempt is set after a scan of barcode. The configuration of Host address (on which the scanner will set up a connection) can be done:

oVia BaracodaManager software. o Via scan of barcodes.

All usage mode (Real Time, No Data Loss, Batch) are obviously available on those two different ways of connection.

The configuration of the Host Bluetooth address (BDA) is made by scanning the 0-9, a-f, A-F labels (Appendix 1) as on a calculator; following the timestamp format shown above.

For example: to set the following BDA: 00:c3:EF:44:a2:B9, the user will scan:

-“Set Remote BDA” label,

-“0” label,

-“0” label,

-“c” label,
