This option is Enabled (checked) by default. Disable this option to inhibit MX9 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 MX9.
Prompt if devices request to pair
This option is Enabled (checked) by default. A dialog box appears on the MX9 screen notifying the user a Bluetooth device requests to pair with the MX9. The requesting Bluetooth device does not need to have been Discovered by the MX9 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, 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 MX9 stops searching after 30 minutes.
Note: Continuous Search option continually draws power from the Main Battery until timeout.
Filtered Mode
This option is Enabled (checked) by default. Determines whether the Bluetooth client discovers and displays all serial Blue- tooth 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 MX9 can pair with up to four Blue- tooth devices, with a limit of one Bluetooth scanner, one Bluetooth printer, one PAN, and one DUN connected at the same time. More than one HID device can be connected but only one Bluetooth mouse and one Bluetooth keyboard. A Registry/ 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 MX9 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 MX9 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 cre- ated.
Computer Friendly Name
This option is populated with the [System Name] when EZ Pair is installed. The System Administrator can change the name. The Computer Friendly Name entered in this space is used exclusively by Bluetooth devices and during Bluetooth communication.
Reconnect
Note: These options can still be checked or unchecked whether Bluetooth connection is enabled or disabled.
