Socket Series 7Mv3 Test Summary

Product Tested: Socket Series 7Mv3

Socket Part Number: CX-2860-1298

Peripheral firmware version: 1.2.0

Peripheral Type: Bluetooth compact handheld scanner

Comments: This report is only applicable for the part number (CX-2860-1298) tested by Honeywell.

Test Cycle: Mar-2013

Honeywell software products used: VoiceCatalyst 1.2 / VoiceClient 3.8.2 / VoiceConsole 4.2

Honeywell hardware products used: Talkman A500 and Talkman T5

Test Status: Passes

Tests Performed - Peripheral Bluetooth Scanner Scenarios:

  • Basic pairing with device as initiator:
    1. Run Scan and Print task after connecting with Bluetooth printer and scanner and perform several iterations of the Scan and Print task, works as expected.
    2. Make scanner as acceptor and connect with A500 as initiator, works as Expected.
    3. Bluetooth address of Socket scanners (7Mv3) is displayed in the VoiceConsole properly under "Paired with" column - works as Expected.
  • Sleep/On state change on device and effect on scanner: Tests the ability to place the device into and remove it from the SLEEP and ON states while scanning and printing without affecting scan and print functionality. Run with the Bluetooth scanner as Acceptor with a Bluetooth printer.
    • Socket (7Mv3) Bluetooth scanner, SRX headset and Bluetooth printer were connected to device, Scan and Print task was run, in between the device state was made to change from SLEEP to ON and Vice versa. It worked as expected.
  • Operator state change on device and effect on scanner: Tests the ability to change an operator while scanning and printing without affecting scan and print functionality. Run with the Bluetooth scanner as Acceptor.
    • SRX, Socket scanners and Bluetooth printer were connected to device, Scan and Print task was run and later operator was changed while running through the task and then again Scan and Print task was run to check the operator change effect on scanning and printing. Works as expected.
  • Out of Bluetooth Range: Tests that Socket Bluetooth (7Mv3) scanner and printer will re-pair with the device after being taken out of Bluetooth range of the device and then brought back into range. Run with scanner as acceptor, and combines Bluetooth scanner with the SRX headset and a Bluetooth printer.
    • The Socket Bluetooth scanner disconnects when it goes out of range; it reconnects when it comes back in Bluetooth range.
    • The Socket Bluetooth scanner works fine when powered down out of range, then powered up in range, and then run with the Scan and Print task.
    • The Socket Bluetooth scanner can be cleared from VoiceConsole when out of Bluetooth range, then re-paired.
  • Change paired scanner: Tests the ability to change from one paired Bluetooth scanner to another and perform normal operations then re-pair the original Bluetooth scanner. Run the the Bluetooth scanner as the initiator and acceptor.
  • Re-pair after power off: Tests the ability of the device and Bluetooth peripherals to repair after they are powered off and rebooted. Tests multiple power off/reboot scenarios of the Talkman and the Bluetooth scanner. Run with the Bluetooth scanner as the acceptor.
    1. Pair a Bluetooth scanner to a device.
    2. Execute the Scan and Print task, two iterations. Works as expected.
    3. Power off all devices.
    4. Power all devices back on.
    5. Execute the Scan and Print task, two iterations. Works as expected.
    6. Repeat steps 3-5 except pull the battery to power off the device. Works as expected.
    7. Repeat steps 3-5 except only power off the Bluetooth peripherals DO NOT power off the terminal/device. Works as expected.
  • Scanner reconnects after placed in charger: Tests that all Bluetooth peripherals will reconnect with the device after it is put in the charger then removed from the charger. Run with the Bluetooth scanner as acceptor. Works as expected.
  • Scanner reconnects after power up in a charger: Tests that all Bluetooth peripherals will reconnect with the device after it is powered up in the charger and removed from the charger. Works as expected.
  • Code 39, 128, 200+ Characters, and 50 Characters barcode test: Works as expected.

Tests Performed - Failure Scenarios:

  • Battery pull of Talkman device when paired and running through scanning task: Works as expected.
  • Pull Talkman device battery in the middle of pairing: Works as expected.

Tests Performed - Stress Scenarios:

  • Pair Bluetooth scanner, printer, SRX, then pull/replace battery on Talkman device: Works as expected.
  • Attempt to pair peripherals without/with required parameters: Works as expected.

Notes regarding usage

  • Socket 7Mv3 scanner works only in acceptor mode with a Talkman A500.
  • Socket 7Mv3 scanner did not require any parameter  i.e. “barcodeport=bt_scan” to be put in Advance settings for it to work.
  • When Bluetooth Peripherals are out of Bluetooth range of A500 and all pairings are cleared from VoiceConsole, the Talkman A500 Bluetooth feature also got “Disabled” (VoiceConsole showed Bluetooth Enabled, Bluetooth Discoverable and Bluetooth Headset Manual pairing as Disabled). This happened 1 time out of 6 attempts during testing.
  • When swapping Bluetooth scanners, the second scanner did not work. The pairing sequence had to be initiated to get the second scanner to work. Also, the pairing had to be cleared from VoiceConsole.
