WT1700 Installation and Configuration Guide1-2 WebTech Wireless Inc. ConfidentialThis guide explains How to install the WT1700 adaptor with a WT5000 or WT6000 Locator How to configure a PDA, Intermec device or laptop for use with the WT1700 adaptor/Locator unit.Note The WT1700 adaptor operates with only one Bluetooth device at a time - you cannot use the devices simultaneously. To switch from one device to another, move the one you don’t want to use away from the adaptor or switch it off.Bluetooth Security and PasskeysIn order to create a partnership between two Bluetooth wireless devices, a password (passkey) is exchanged between the two devices, e.g. the WT1700/Locator unit and the PDA/Intermec or laptop. The passkey entered must be the same for each Bluetooth device and can be up to 16 characters long. The WT5000 or WT6000 Locator is shipped with a default passkey. This same passkey is entered during the PDA, Intermec, or laptop configuration process.To change the Locator’s default passkey (and therefore the PDA/Intermec or laptop passkey) contact WebTech Technical Support.Naming ConventionsThe WT1700 is shipped with a power/serial data cable for use specifically in a wireless environment. It is physically similar to the WT5000 power/serial data cable, which functions only in a wired environment.Important Use the Bluetooth cable for all installations.The following terms are used throughout the manual to distinguish between the different cables and components.WT5000 cable: WT5000 power/serial data cable (for use in a wired environment only)WT6000 cable: The black WT6000 multi-port data cable with primary and secondary serial connectorsBluetooth cable: WT1700 Bluetooth power/serial data cable (for use in a wireless environment)WT1700 adaptor: The WT1700 Bluetooth adaptor hardware deviceWT1700 adaptor/Locator unit: When the WT1700 adaptor is attached to the Locator and the Locator installed in a vehicle, the two pieces of hardware are called a unit.

Introduction and Installation RequirementsConfidential WebTech Wireless Inc. 1-3 Locator Installation DocumentsRefer to the installation guide shipped with the Locator for detailed instructions to install a WebTech Locators into a vehicle.WT5000 Installation Guide - document #01100-0535 WT6000 Installation Guide - document #20100-0162If the WT1700 adaptor is sent separately from the Locator, navigate to the Quadrant Portal on www.webtechwireless.com to download the installation documents, or contact Technical Support for assistance.
