Bluetooth

The Bluetooth list screen displays all the Bluetooth devices discovered operating on your wireless networks.

NOTE: This list requires that Bluetooth is enabled in your EtherScope nXG system settings. To verify, swipe down from the Status Bar at very top of the screen to open the system Notification Panel to see if the Bluetooth disabled icon is displayed. If so, tap the icon to turn on Bluetooth and display the Bluetooth enabled icon .

You can Sort the list to determine the order in which Bluetooth devices are shown. See Sorting in the Wi-Fi App for more details.

By default, Bluetooth devices are ordered by Signal strength. Each card shows the device address, signal strength in dBm (top right), and company name (bottom right).

NOTE: Your EtherScope nXG considers a device inactive if it is not seen in over 1 minute. These devices are displayed with a grey title text and signal strength value and grey title text on the Wi-Fi - Bluetooth Device details screen. If the device continues to be inactive, EtherScope nXG considers the device obsolete and removes it removed from the list.

Tap an individual Bluetooth device card to open the Wi-Fi - Bluetooth Device screen.
