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 coupling methods, i.e. the mutual authentication of the Bluetooth device and thin client:

  • Coupling with PIN entry (for most keyboards)
  • Coupling with fixed PIN (for most headsets, mice or GPS devices)
  • Coupling 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 coupling mode is enabled on the Bluetooth device.
  2. Start the Bluetooth Tool. The start options are described under Bluetooth Tool.
    The Device Search 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:

  1. Start the Bluetooth Tool. The start options are described under Bluetooth Tool.
    The Device Search dialog page will be shown. After a few seconds, the Bluetooth devices found by the thin client will be displayed.
  2. Highlight the desired Bluetooth device.
  3. Click on PIN options.
  4. Select one of the specified PINs or enable Custom PIN and enter the PIN for the Bluetooth device. You will find this PIN in the documentation for 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 automatic PIN allocation, proceed as follows:

  1. Ensure that the coupling mode is enabled on the Bluetooth device.
  2. Start the Bluetooth Tool. The start options are described under Bluetooth Tool.
    The Search for devices 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 configuration dialog page and on your Bluetooth device.
  4. If the PINs on the Device configuration dialog page and on your Bluetooth device are identical, click on Yes.
    On the Set-up summary dialog page, the status of the connection will be shown.
  5. Click on Close.


To cancel coupling to a Bluetooth device, proceed as follows:
