Version Differences for OPN2002 - Opticon Technical Support Portal

'''Why doesn't the OPN2002 reconnect? I'm paired and everything!'''

-

:If the OPN2002 is to reconnect in slave mode, the user must make the OPN2002 connectable first. With the OPN2002's standard software, this is done by holding the small clear key for 5 seconds. All of the aformentioned is true for both HID and SPP mode; however, SPP has the additional caveat of the Bluetooth host opening its (outgoing) serial port in order for the reconnection to truly finish. In master mode, the user must make the OPN2002 initiate a reconnection to the Bluetooth host (with the standard software, by holding the trigger key for 5 seconds); however, SPP has the additional caveat of the Bluetooth host having already opened its (incoming) serial port prior to the reconnection attempt in order for the reconnection to ultimately finish.

'''I bought one of those cool CRD2000 things, which holds and charges 10 OPN2002s. Can I use that to load software on, or download data from, multiple OPN2002s at once?'''

-

:Yes. After the release of OS RBGV0207 and Appload version 1.39, it became possible to update the software on multiple OPN2002s in a single CRD2000. It operates in a sequential fashion, moving from one OPN2002 to the next.

:Yes. After the release of OS RBGV0207 and [[Appload]] version 1.39, it became possible to update the software on multiple OPN2002s in a single CRD2000. It operates in a sequential fashion, moving from one OPN2002 to the next.

:If you have an embedded application on the OPN2002 that stores scanned barcode data, you can also download the stored data from multiple OPN2002s using Opticon's [[NetO32]] program - assuming each OPN2002 has a unique terminal ID set.

'''Is there a way to make the OPN2002 connectable but not discoverable?'''

-

:Uh-uh. (They both occur when you hold down the little clear key; the way you use it will determine if the OPN2002 is ultimately being connectable or discoverable.)

+

:Uh-uh. (They both occur when you hold down the little clear key; the context in which you use it will determine if the OPN2002 is ultimately connectable or discoverable. For example, if you've previously paired the OPN2002 with a host device, and you want that same host to reconnect to the OPN2002, holding down the clear key makes it connectable in this context; if you want to connect the OPN2002 to a different host device, holding down the clear key makes it discoverable in that context.)

'''Can I send commands to my OPN2002 over Bluetooth SPP?'''

-

:Sure. With the OPN2002's default firmware (OS and application), you can send Universal Menu Book commands, in the format <ESC><COMMAND><CR>. E.g. <ESC>Z1<CR> returns the software version. You can also customize the OPN2002's embedded application to support whatever commands and/or protocol you define.

'''Can I connect to the OPN2002 when it's not discoverable?'''

'''Am I able to change the defaults of the OPN2002's embedded application and the OPN2002 itself?'''

-

:Yes. You can either customize the embedded application to set new defaults for the application, the scan engine, or the device itself; or you can use the [[Universal Menu Book]] to configure certain options and have them "memorized" (saved to flash).

+

:Yes. You can either customize the embedded application to set new defaults for the application, the scan engine, or the device itself, by customizing the embedded application's source code, recompiling it, and loading the resultant binary on the OPN2002 (requires the [[C-Library Kit]]; or you can use the [[Universal Menu Book]] to configure certain options and have them "memorized" (saved to flash).

'''Can I customize, or provide my own handlers, for certain [[Universal Menu Book]] codes?'''
