Legacy pairing with remote devices compliant to Bluetooth v.

2.0+EDR or earlier

On the BT Reader, it is possible to set a (configurable) PIN code to authenticate/con-

nect BT devices, compliant to Bluetooth Core Specification v2.0 + EDR or earlier, and

ncrypt the data.

If you are using a BT scanner directly connected to a host through a BT dongle

same security level. Otherwise the connection cannot be established.

code in the previous section.

2. Se

lect a PIN code length of either 4 or 16 characters by scanning the appropriate

barcode in "Select PIN Code Length" on pa
