Continuous Search

This option is Disabled 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 Sus-

 

pend mode, going out of range or being turned off). When disabled, after being en-

 

abled, the Thor VM2 stops searching after 30 minutes. This option draws power from

 

the Main Battery.

 

 

Filtered Mode

This option is Enabled 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 Thor VM2 can pair with up to four Bluetooth de-

 

vices.

 

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

 

 

Printer Port - COM7

This option is Disabled by default.

 

This option assigns Bluetooth printer connection to COM7 instead of COM19. To en-

 

able this option, Filtered Mode must be enabled.

 

 

Logging

This option is Disabled by default.

 

When logging is enabled, the Thor VM2 creates bt_log.txt and stores it in the /Sys-

 

tem 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 Thor VM2 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

Default: Computer System Name (System Panel > Device Name tab).

 

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

 

clusively by Bluetooth devices and during Bluetooth communication.

 

 

Reconnect

Note: These options can still be checked or unchecked whether Bluetooth connection is enabled or disabled.
