Bluetooth Security Level

Parameter #
1393
(SSI # F8h 05h 71h)
This parameter sets a Bluetooth security level.
Choose one of the following options:
  • *Low - This is designed for ease of connection with most devices. Some devices may not accept this setting. If connection fails, increase this security setting and try again. If connecting to a Bluetooth 2.1 or later device, this setting uses the “just works” method for secure and simple pairing.
Data is encrypted using the Low security setting if connected to Bluetooth 2.1 or later device.
  • Medium - This may require entering a PIN code on initial connection to pair the scanner and device. If connecting to a Bluetooth 2.1 or later device, this setting uses the “passkey entry” method for secure and simple pairing.
  • High - This enables “man in the middle” protection for Bluetooth 2.1 and later. Not all devices support this mode.
  • Legacy (Bluetooth 2.0 and earlier) - This enables authentication and encryption for legacy pairing.
