WIDCOMM:
To determine if your computer uses a WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack, check the stack version in your Bluetooth software. Refer to the documentation for your Bluetooth hardware/software for instructions on discovering and connecting to the CHS.
Many Bluetooth USB adapters use the WIDCOMM stack. Although the name may be different, the Bluetooth manager screen will resemble the one shown below.
•Perform a Quick Connect to a Bluetooth Serial Port. Click on the Bluetooth icon in the task tray. In the
Quick Connect Bluetooth Serial Port Find Devices.
It is essential to connect to the CHS via Quick Connect because this sets the CHS as your default Bluetooth serial device.
•During the device discovery, the Cordless Hand Scanner will appear as Socket CHS [xxxxxx]
The characters in brackets are the last 6 characters of the scanner’s Bluetooth MAC address. If multiple Cordless Hand Scanners were detected, identify yours by checking the MAC address printed on a label under the batteries.
•If a passkey is requested, enter 1234. To indicate the connection, the CHS will beep once.
By default, the Bluetooth software will ask you for the passkey each time you connect. To stop the automatic prompts, under Advanced Configuration, disable the Secure Connection requirement for both the Local Service and Client Application, then unpair the devices. Refer to the documentation for your Bluetooth hardware/software.
