Menu path: Setup > Accessories > Bluetooth Tool

With the Bluetooth Tool, you can connect Bluetooth devices, e.g. a keyboard, a mouse or a headset, to your thin client.

The Bluetooth Tool supports the following pairing methods, i.e. the mutual authentication of the Bluetooth device and thin client:

  • Pairing with PIN entry (for most keyboards)
  • Pairing with fixed PIN (for most headsets, mice or GPS devices)
  • Pairing with automatic PIN allocation

In order to use Bluetooth devices, a Bluetooth USB adapter must be connected to the thin client.


To connect a Bluetooth device with PIN entry, proceed as follows:
  1. Ensure that the pairing mode is enabled on the Bluetooth device.
  2. Launch the Bluetooth Tool via > System > Bluetooth Tool or another launch option, if available.
    The DeviceSearch dialog page will be shown. After a few seconds, the Bluetooth devices found by the thin client will be displayed.
  3. Highlight the desired Bluetooth device and click on Forward.
    A PIN will be shown on the Device setup dialog page.
  4. Enter the PIN shown into your Bluetooth device.
    On the Setup summary dialog page, the status of the connection will be shown.
  5. Click on Close.

To connect a Bluetooth device with a fixed PIN, proceed as follows:
