Function

 

 

Computer is connectable

This option is Enabled (checked) by default.

 

Disable this option to inhibit MX7 Tecton connection initiated by a Bluetooth scanner.

 

 

Computer is discoverable

This option is Disabled (unchecked) by default.

 

Enable this option to ensure other devices can discover the MX7 Tecton.

 

 

Prompt if devices request

This option is Enabled (checked) by default.

to pair

A dialog box appears on the MX7 Tecton screen notifying the user a Bluetooth device requests

 

to pair with the MX7 Tecton.

 

The requesting Bluetooth device does not need to have been Discovered by the MX7 Tecton

 

before the pairing request is received.

 

Tap the Accept button or the Decline button to remove the dialog box from the screen.

 

In some cases, if a Bluetooth device is already paired this setting cannot be changed. If this is

 

the case, an error message is displayed and the option is not changed. The Bluetooth device

 

must be disconnected before changing this setting.

 

 

Continuous Search

This option is Disabled (unchecked) by default.

 

When enabled (checked), the Bluetooth connection never stops searching for a device it has

 

paired with when the connection is broken (such as the paired device entering Suspend mode,

 

going out of range or being turned off). When disabled, after being enabled, the MX7 Tecton

 

stops searching after 30 minutes. This option draws power from the Main Battery.

 

 

Filtered Mode

This option is Enabled (checked) by default.

 

Determines whether the Bluetooth client discovers and displays all serial Bluetooth devices in

 

the vicinity (Filtered Mode is disabled/unchecked) or the discovery result displays Bluetooth

 

scanners and printers only (Filtered Mode is enabled/checked).

 

When Filtered Mode is disabled, the MX7 Tecton can pair with up to four Bluetooth devices.

 

A Restart is required every time Filtered Mode is toggled on and off.

 

 

Printer Port - COM9

This option is Disabled (unchecked) by default.

 

This option assigns Bluetooth printer connection to COM9 instead of COM19. To enable this

 

option, Filtered Mode must be enabled/checked.

 

 

Logging

This option is Disabled (unchecked) by default.

 

When logging is enabled, the MX7 Tecton creates bt_log.txt and stores it in the /System folder.

 

Bluetooth activity logging is added to the text file as activity progresses. A bt_log_bak.txt file

 

contains the data stored by bt_log.txt prior to reboot.

 

During a reboot process, the MX7 Tecton renames bt_log.txt to bt_log_bak.txt. If a file already

 

exists with that name, the existing file is deleted, the new bt_log_bak.txt file is added and a

 

new bt_log.txt is created.

 

 

Computer Friendly Name

The name, or identifier, entered in this space by the System Administrator is used exclusively

 

by Bluetooth devices and during Bluetooth communication.
