provides strong and secure fastening and is suitable for different kind of host devices. Please visit Quad

Lock web pages for more information about different adapters.

Version 1.1

NOTE! Bluetooth Low Energy needs to be supported by host device

1.7. CONNECTIONS

Nordic ID EXA21 supports Bluetooth Low Energy Class 2 and USB connections for host devices. Supported

Bluetooth Low Energy versions are 4.0 –5.0 and supported profiles are GATT (generic data transfer) and

HID (keyboard emulation).

CONNECTING WITH HOST DEVICE

There are four ways to connect Nordic ID EXA with host device, being the third one (Nordic ID Smart

Pair) the most advanced and easiest way to connect wirelessly.

1. Connect without pairing via Bluetooth

Nordic ID EXA21 will advertise itself via Bluetooth allowing the host device to connect. Bluetooth

connection remains active until the host device closes the connection. Once the connection is

closed Nordic ID EXA21 will start advertising again and allowing any host device to connect.

Most applications will not require pairing with the host device. Without pairing, Nordic ID EXA21

can be connected to any host device which can see its advertisement. When Nordic ID EXA21

disconnects from host device, other host devices are available to connect as long advertisement

is seeing from the Nordic ID EXA21.

2. Connect with secure pairing via Bluetooth

Pairing Nordic ID EXA21 with a specific host device increases security by preventing other hosts

to connect to the paired Nordic ID EXA21. When paired, applications (like Nordic ID RFID Demo)

connect to the device automatically. The connection remains active as long the host device is in

Bluetooth range. Entering a passcode in the host device is needed to allow pairing. The passcode

can be changed and reset to factory defaults by using Nordic ID RFID Demo application (see

section 0).

3. Connect with Nordic ID Smart Pair feature

The new awesome Nordic ID Smart Pair feature provides an exceptionally easy way to connect

and disconnect host device to our EXA readers. Just select “Nordic ID Smart Pair”from

“Connection”listing in Nordic ID RFID Demo and host device starts looking for the EXA readers.

Smart Pair works only when EXA is not paired.

4. Connect via USB

The Nordic ID EXA21 can connected with the host using USB-C type data cable. When connected,

Bluetooth advertising stop and blue led is continuously on. Advertising start again when USB

cable removed.

Host device connection

Once paired, the Nordic ID EXA21 is continuously connected to the paired device and other host devices

can’t connect to Nordic ID EXA21 until it’s unpaired (following process described in Section 1.7.3).

UNPAIRING

Use the Nordic ID RFID Demo app (in the paired host device) Settings

→

Reader

→

Host device connection

and press “Unpair” button. Unpairing process clears the pairing information from the EXA21 and from

the host device.

Unpairing manually from EXA21

•Press “Scan“button down and then “Power” button down and keep at least 3 second until device

beeps three times. Then pairing is cleared and device reboots.

•Remember to clear pairing information from the host device too. (Settings→Bluetooth→Paired

devices)

iOS devices typically prompt “pairing request” message box if pairing is enabled in Nordic ID EXA21 (as

explained in 1.7.2). In case pairing is not needed, the user can press “cancel” button and device connect

without the pairing. If iOS device is going to be used without the pairing, please disable pairing support

and then “pairing request” prompt doesn’t appear anymore.

CONNECTING WITH NORDIC ID SMART PAIR FEATURE

When using a Nordic ID EXA21 reader with a smartphone, both the Nordic ID EXA21 reader and your

smartphone are always close to each other while being used. Nordic ID Smart Pair is aware of this and

thus it establishes the connection only when they are close to each other.

•Connecting: One can connect the host device to the EXA reader just by placing host device close

to the EXA reader.

•Disconnecting will be done by pressing Power and Scan buttons simultaneously 3 seconds (LED

stops blinking).

Requirements: Nordic ID RFID demo app 1.5.7 (or newer) and EXA21 with firmware 3.6.2 (or newer).

The Nordic ID Smart Pair feature is always enabled in Nordic ID RFID Wear OS app.

active host connection. See section 1.8.7

SCAN BUTTON

The scan button is located at the top of the reader. It can be used to start/stop UHF RFID scanning.

Depending on the application in use, the trigger button starts/stops UHF RFID reading. By default, the

first press of the button starts the reading and the second press of the button stops it.
