Bluetooth icon (at the bottom of the Today or desktop panel) state and Bluetooth device icon states change as Bluetooth devices are discovered, paired, connected and disconnected. There may be audible or visual signals as paired devices re-connect with the MX9.

The MX9 cannot be discovered by other Bluetooth devices when the Computer is discoverable option is disabled (unchecked) on the Settings panel.

Other Bluetooth devices cannot be discovered if they have been set up to be Non-Discoverable or Invisible.

When Filtered Mode is enabled, the MX9 can pair with one Bluetooth scanner and one Bluetooth printer.

When Filtered Mode is disabled, the MX9 can pair with up to four Bluetooth devices, with a limit of one scanner, one printer, two HID devices (one Mouse, one Keyboard), one PAN device, and one DUN device connected at the same time.

It is not necessary to disconnect a paired scanner and printer before a different scanner or printer is paired with the MX9.

The target Bluetooth device should be as close as possible (up to 32.8 ft (10 meters) Line of Sight) to the MX9 during the pairing process.

Assumptions:

The System Administrator has Discovered and Paired targeted Bluetooth devices for the MX9.

The MX9 operating system has been upgraded to the revision level required for Bluetooth client operation.

An application (or API) is available that will accept data from serial Bluetooth devices.

HID

Human Interface Device

HID profiles used by Bluetooth keyboards, mice, pointing devices and remote

 

 

monitoring devices.

PAN

Personal Area Networking

PAN profiles, unmodified Ethernet payloads (using BNEP) can exchange packets

 

 

between Bluetooth devices. PANU is a PAN User service that uses either the NAP

 

 

or the GN service.

DUN

Dial-Up Networking

DUN provides access to the Internet and other dial-up services using Bluetooth

 

 

technology.
