Barcode/QR scanner input settings

These configuration settings for the config.txt file relate to enabling a Bluetooth scanner input.

Note: Bluetooth is only available on VTAP100-PRO-BW hardware.

By using these settings a Bluetooth classic HID barcode or QR scanner can be paired with a VTAP reader, so that the scanner output can be sent on by the VTAP reader just like pass, card or tag reads.

BTScannerMode enables or disables the Bluetooth scanner input feature.

BTScannerOutput sets the interface over which the scanned payload will be sent.

Note: These settings have been tested with a NETUM barcode scanner. Please contact vtap-support@dotorigin.com if you have any difficulty implementing these settings for a different type of scanner.

Settings below: BTScannerMode | BTScannerOutput

BTScannerMode
Definition:

Enable/disable Bluetooth scanner mode. If this is enabled and the VTAP PRO reader is not currently paired with a scanner, it will begin scanning to find a barcode/QR scanner it can pair with. When paired, scanning for new devices stops. When disabled any paired devices are removed and forotten.
