General functionality configures Bluetooth to work in slave mode. This mode allows any external device to connect to {{{model|FMC800}}}. Parameter ''BT Radio'' allows enabling or disabling Bluetooth. There are three different settings:

*Disabled – Bluetooth functionality will be disabled.

*Enable (hidden) – Bluetooth functionality will be enabled, external devices will be able to connect to {{{model|FMC800}}}, but no devices will be able to detect it.

*Enable (visible) – Bluetooth functionality will be enabled and any external device will be able to detect and connect to {{{model|FMC800}}}.

It is possible to configure the Local name of the device, as well as the Local PIN, which will be used when trying to pair with the {{{model|FMC800}}} device. There are two different parameters:

*Local Name parameter lets user declare a visible name of {{{model|FMC800}}} to external devices.

*Local PIN parameter lets user configure Bluetooth PIN of {{{model|FMC800}}} device.

The {{{model|FMC800}}} supports composed Bluetooth Local names, which allows the user to have a predefined number of IMEI digits at the end of the device name. The format of the composed Bluetooth name looks like this:

<code>Device name + %imeiX</code>

X - how many digits will be taken from IMEI to show in Local name, digits will be taken from the end of IMEI. Minimum value of X is 1 and the Maximum value is 15.

Example:

If the configured Local Name parameter is "FMC_800_%imei7" and the IMEI of the device is 352093089520901, name will be displayed as FMC_800_9520901 (whether "_LE" is added at the end depends on whether device supports BLE or not. The full name of the device, which supports BLE would be FMC_800_9520901_LE).

If the Local Name is written incorrectly, the Bluetooth name of the device will be broadcasted as it is. An example can be seen below.

Example:

If the configured Local Name parameter is "FMB_120_%ime7" devices name will be broadcasted as FMB_120_%ime7 or if wrong X will be configured, for example "FMC_800_%imei20" devices name will broadcasted as FMC_800_%imei20.

{{{model|FMC800}}} Bluetooth has several different ''Security Modes'':

*PIN only – only Local PIN will be reacquired to complete connection to {{{model|FMC800}}}.

*PIN + MAC list – PIN and Authorized Devices MAC List will be checked against to allow connection to {{{model|FMC800}}}. If the external device MAC ID is in the list and correct ''Local PIN'' is entered then connection will be established, otherwise {{{model|FMC800}}} will reject connection.

*MAC list only – only ''Authorized Devices MAC List'' will be checked when trying to connect to {{{model|FMC800}}}. If external device MAC ID is in the list then connection will be established, otherwise {{{model|FMC800}}} will reject connection.

*None – neither ''Local PIN'' nor ''Authorized Device MAC List'' will be checked.

==Auto Connect to External Device==

{{{BT_FT|[[File:Fixto.png|{{{auto_connect|size}}}|right]]}}}

Auto connection functionality configures {{{model|FMC800}}} as master device, which allows connecting {{{model|FMC800}}} to an external device. {{{model|FMC800}}} currently supports these modes:

*None – disables auto connection functionality.

*[[How to connect Bluetooth Hands Free adapter to FMB device|Hands Free]] or [[How to connect OBD II Bluetooth Dongle to FMB device|OBDII]] – FMC800 starts searching for an external hands free headset or OBD II Dongle. If {{{model|FMC800}}} finds a device which matches user defined ''External MAC'' or ''External Name'' then FMC800 will try to pair with that external device. If the external device asks for PIN then {{{model|FMC800}}} will send user defined ''External PIN''. After successfully pairing {{{model|FMC800}}} will connect to paired device.

-->

*Data Link – BT Data link mode is enabled by Configurator ''Data Link'' parameter: when Data Link is configured and {{{model_2|FMB}}} has a link with the server, paired device can send messages via Bluetooth SPP profile directly to the server. Messages will be encoded by [[Codec#Codec 12|Codec12]].

*Inateck Scanner – {{{model|FMC800}}} automatically connects to Inateck BT Barcode Scanner BCST-70 and will be ready to receive data (coded in barcode). ''Scanner must be configured for using “ENTER” as suffix.'' {{{model|FMC800}}} supports online and inventory mode. A new record will be generated on every data portion received from scanner via SPP. Data will be stored with AVL ID 264, variable data length, max length is 32 bytes.

*User ID - This mode makes {{{model|FMC800}}} connect automatically to a device and stores its BT MAC address in I/O element ''User ID'' (I/O ID: 50520). This is used for driver authentication. If there‘s no connection, the I/O element value is set to 0.

| style="text-align: left; background: #F6F6FB;" |{{{model|FMC800}}} supports ONE connection at a time. {{{model|FMC800}}} can see up to 10 available devices. If there are more than 10 devices, the list may change with each new scan.

''External Name'' parameter works as a substring, which allows user to enter a part of the full external device name. For example, if external device name is "BluetoothDevice" and user enters "Bluetooth" in ''External Name'' parameter window, then {{{model|FMC800}}} will be allowed to connect to an external device named "BluetoothDevice".
