Bluetooth Connection Setup Notes for Mac OS X 10.2

OS X provides two utilities that are used for Bluetooth connection management. The "Bluetooth Serial Utility", and the "Bluetooth Setup Assistant".

This document will outline the steps to use the LaserChamp(tm) Bluetooth barcode scanner, however these instructions are similar for virtually any Bluetooth device.

Bluetooth Serial Utility

1) Run "Bluetooth Serial Utility"

2) Click "New" to create a new Bluetooth connection. The image below shows how the connection built by these instructions will appear after the connection has been setup.

2) Provide a name for the Bluetooth connection to the device, select "Outgoing", and "Port Type: RS-232". If the device requires authentication, check the "Require Authentication". By default the LaserChamp requires Authentication.

3) Select the Bluetooth Spp service for the device, and choose "Select".

Bluetooth Setup Assistant

1) Run "Bluetooth Setup Assistant".

2) Click "Continue" at the welcome dialog.

3) At the "Select Device Type" dialog, choose "Other Device" and click "Continue".

4) Activate the Bluetooth device, and at the "Bluetooth Device Set Up" dialog, choose the device, and click "Continue".

5) Enter the passkey for the device, and click "Continue".

You can then dismiss the "Conclusion" dialog by clicking "Quit", and the device can be used with SerialMagic.

Note: When the Bluetooth device pairing is changed, the "Pairing Request" dialog shown below will occur when SerialMagic attempts to establish a Bluetooth connection to the device. Pairing is typically 'lost' when the device is paired with another computer, or when the Bluetooth adaptor is removed from the computer when Bluetooth is not built-in.
