CHAPTER 5: SETUP FOR WINDOWS MOBILE 59
SCENARIO 3:
1. Find out the Bluetooth address of your PDA.
2. Use barcode software or a barcode generating website like
http://www.idautomation.com/java/linearservlet.html or
http://www.barcoding.com/upc to print the following barcode:
IMPORTANT! FORMAT THE BARCODE IN THE SYMBOLOGY
CODE 128!
ActivePairing Barcode Sample Result after Scanning
Initiator Bar Code —
contains the following data:
#FNI xxxxxxxxxxxx #
where xxxxxxxxxxxx is
the Bluetooth address of
the computer
The scanner will
change to initiator
mode and
automatically try to
connect to the PDA
with the Bluetooth
address embedded in
the barcode
3. In the Today screen, make sure the SocketScan icon in the task tray has a
blue circle to indicate that it is ready for ActivePairing.
4. Scan the Initiator Barcode.
Note: The scanner will try to connect every 2 seconds for a maximum of 20 attempts.
5. After connecting, the scanner will beep once, and the LED will blink blue once every
3 seconds. The SocketScan icon will also change to a ring icon.
Note: After disconnecting from a PDA (by turning of the scanner), you can easily connect to
a different PDA by scanning the Initiator Barcode customized for that PDA. SocketScan must
be running on the PDA, and Connect!Agent must be installed.

into.
2. Place the cursor where you want data from the next scan to go.
