About Pairing Wireless Headsets
Pairing is the process in which two devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology create a secure link in order to share information. The pairing process begins when the master device initiates an inquiry to search for discoverable Bluetooth addresses.
Honeywell wireless headset pairings with Talkman or other devices are initiated by the device and remain paired until broken by user action. Note that the pairing exists between the headset and device hardware. If the operator moves to a different device, the original headset/device pairing does not follow that operator.
Pairing versus Connecting
Pairing is not the same as connecting. Two Bluetooth devices, once paired, can connect and disconnect many times. With a pairing in memory, the two devices can reconnect easily and make repeated attempts to establish a connection. In this way, a headset and device pairing allows for increased user mobility.
For example, if the user takes the headset out of range of the paired device or powers it off, the device notices the connection loss and tries to reconnect. The two remain paired throughout this process.
Pairing-related Configuration Parameters
PersistSrxPairingAcrossPowerCycle
Set to 0 for the device to delete the pairing when it is powered off.
When the device is powered on again, it does not reestablish this connection with the associated headset.
This parameter defaults to 1, which causes pairings to be persisted and re-established when the device is powered on.
When SrxAutoPairEnable is enabled (set to 1), PersistSrxPairingAcrossPowerCycle defaults to 0.
SrxClearPairingInCharger
Set to 1 to clear the pairing when the device is placed into a charger.
This parameter defaults to 0, or maintaining the pairing.
When SrxAutoPairEnable is enabled (set to 1), SrxClearPairingInCharger defaults to 1.
SrxAutoPairEnable
Set to 1 to turn on automatic pairing.
Cross Pairing
Cross pairing is the result of a master device pairing with a headset or other device that is not the intended slave. If a user cannot isolate his or her device and headset from others and a cross pairing occurs, the user should break the existing pairing and retry the intended pairing.
Prevent unwanted cross pairing by isolating the device and headset from all other Bluetooth devices any time that the device is performing an inquiry scan to find the headset or pair manually. Cross pairing is extremely unlikely when a user uses touch pairing.
