Setting Up the NFC-Based Tap to Pair

Setting Up the NFC-Based Tap to Pair

Pairing by Tap provides a faster way to connect to the MFI scanner. This solution provides pairing with an MFI scanner inside the sample application. By using the NFC in the iPhone's inbuilt NFC reader, tap the device’s NFC tag to get the serial number from the NDEF records and try to connect with that device.
Before starting the NFC-based pairing, unpair the device that you want to pair from the Bluetooth settings. (For example, RFD40P_XXX…X)
Unpairing Device
  1. From the Home screen, go to
    Settings > Readers List
    .
  2. Tap the NFC icon in the navigation bar's right corner, and the NFC reader view will display.
  3. In the NFC Ready to Scan view mode, hold your iPhone near the Zebra device’s NFC symbol to read. Ensure that the RFD40+ Bluetooth indicator LED blinks, indicating the device is discoverable. Otherwise, the device will not display in the picker list.
  4. Select the device you want to pair. You will get a beep sound when it is paired successfully.
