Overview
1. Prerequisites
From version 1.5.1 Mobile WMS supports Honeywell Granit 1981i External scanners (referred to as the external device) along with the internal scanner.
Honeywell devices with Android version from version 8 and forward (Scanner edge app)
Honeywell has made an app named "Scanner Edge" that is used for connecting Bluetooth scanners. In the next section, it is explained how to connect e.g. the Granit 1981i device.
The Scanner Edge app is a part of the Honeywell Android OS from Android version 8 and forward.
2 Connecting External Scanner to Honeywell Android device
2.1 Connection Setup
The Granit external device connects directly to the Android device via BlueTooth. It only uses the cradle for charging.
Open the Scanner Edge app.
Click the menu icon in the top left corner, and select the Pair Bluetooth scanner menu item.
Scan the "Connect Barcode" to connect and the device should be connected.
Verify by opening the menu item "Connected Devices".
Once set up the external device will automatically connect to the Android device again.
2.2 Configuration
The Aim prefix needs to be set up on the external device (a barcode must be scanned)
For the Mobile WMS application to work properly we need to set it up to prefix all barcodes with the AIM.
The AIM is three characters added to the barcode. E.g. ]C0 for a Code 128 barcode, ]D1 for a datamatrix, and ]D2 for a GS1 datamatrix.
Here is a more detailed description: https://support.honeywellaidc.com/s/article/What-is-the-AIM-identifier-of-a-barcode
Scan this barcode to set up the prefix on the external scanner:
Scan these two barcodes to strengthen the scanner connection.
A solution to this is to scan the following barcodes to enable auto-reconnect and set it to charge only.
2.3 Extra configurations
For further configurations for the handset, see the manual. E.g. how the handset should behave when placed in the Cradle. (Section: "Scan While in Base Cradle").
