Bluetooth scanner input in Local mode

Follow the steps below to connect a Bluetooth barcode scanner to the VTAP100-PRO-BW (becoming a Bluetooth scanner host).

1. Save the following config settings into the config.txt to enable and configure the Bluetooth scanner input feature, in Local mode.

   Example: Enable and configure the Bluetooth scanner input in Local mode

   Copy

   CloudMode=0             ; Switch the VTAP100 PRO to Local mode
   BTScannerMode=1         ; Enable the Bluetooth scanner input feature
   BTScannerOutput=k,c     ; Set the output interface where the 
                           ;   data should be sent. Here keyboard
                           ;   emulation (k) and COMport (c) are chosen.

   Also make sure that the ...Source setting for the output interface you are using has the 0x04 bit enabled. By default ComPortSource=A5 which will allow all data sources.

2. Set the input device in pairing/discovery mode.

To verify a successful pairing, power cycle the VTAP100-PRO-BW and check the VCBOOT.txt file in a text editor on the VTAP PRO file system. (Alternatively, send a ?vcb command to the VTAP100-PRO-BW over a serial interface and see the VTAP response.)

VCBOOT.TXT or the ?vcb response will contain a line with the syntax:
Paired: <number of paired devices>,<names of the paired devices>.
For instance Paired: 1,C barcode scanner.

3. The VTAP100-PRO-BW is now ready to read any data coming from that paired Bluetooth input device, and send it over to the selected interface (set in BTScannerOutput).
