You must complete the Bluetooth connection procedure for each instrument that you will be using with SOKKIA
software (SDR+ or GSR Family Config Tool).1 When setting up instruments for use in the SOKKIA software,
ensure that you select the correct COM port that the handheld device is using to connect to the instrument.2 Each
COM port can be paired with only one instrument.
Note: GSR700 series receivers provide two separate Bluetooth serial port connections, designated as XCOM2 and
XCOM3. Depending on the software configuration/drivers on your handheld device, it might not
provide an option during Bluetooth configuration to specify which of these two ports to use when creating
a partnership between the device and the instrument. When no option is offered, the partnership will
usually default to XCOM2. (Only one Bluetooth port option is available on SOKKIA total stations and RC
units.) When an option is offered, we recommend that you are consistent in your use of the XCOM ports;
for example, always select XCOM2 for connections in SDR+.
To configure Bluetooth settings for connecting to your instrument, turn it on and then follow the steps in one of
the following examples. These examples describe how to connect to SOKKIA instruments from particular
handheld devices. Some screens and steps may differ for your device—refer to your device documentation for
specific information.
• Example 1: Juniper Allegro MX, (also applies to Getac and Juniper Archer), page 2
• Example 2: HP iPAQ, page 5
• Example 3: Juniper Allegro CX, page 7

This information applies to devices running the following SOKKIA software:
• Windows Mobile: SDR+ Professional for Windows Mobile (version 9.3.1 and later), SDR+ S/K Edition, or GSR Family Config Tool
for Windows Mobile (version 9.3.1 and later)
• Windows CE: SDR+ Professional for Windows CE .or GSR Family Config Tool for Windows CE.

In SDR+ S/K Edition, the default instrument profiles specify COM6 for the Bluetooth port.
2. In the Wireless Manager, select Menu | Bluetooth Settings. (If the Bluetooth bar reads Off, tap it to turn
Bluetooth on.)
Note: You can also access Bluetooth settings by selecting Start > Settings, then tapping the Bluetooth
icon on the Connections tab.
4. Wait until your device is discovered (you may need to wait a few seconds), select the instrument in the
Select a Bluetooth Device list, then tap <Next>.
Note: If you do not see your instrument in the list, tap <Refresh>.
5. Enter the passcode. If you are connecting to a GSR700 series receiver, enter ‘0000’ in the Passcode field
and then tap <Next>. For SOKKIA total stations and RC units, if the instrument has a passcode set for it,
enter the passcode and tap <Next>. If there is no passcode for the instrument, tap <Next>. (If you are
prompted to accept a connection from the device, tap <Yes> and then tap <Cancel>.)
8. In the Add a Device screen, highlight your instrument in the list and tap <Next>.
9. Select a COM port from the Port list and clear the Secure Connection check box.
Note: Make note of the COM port you choose. This is the COM port number that you will need to
specify in the SOKKIA software. For example, in SDR+, you will specify this port in the
Communication tab of the Settings screen in the instrument profile.
Example 2: HP iPAQ
To establish a Bluetooth connection to an instrument using an HP iPAQ (Windows Mobile operating system),
complete these steps:
1. When you try to connect to an instrument in the SOKKIA software, the Bluetooth Browser will display a
list of Bluetooth devices that are within range. If you do not see your instrument in the list, tap <Refresh>.
Note: If you will only be using one instrument, select the Always use the selected device check box.
The next time that you attempt a connection to the instrument, it will be automatically selected.
2. Highlight your instrument in the list. The device will retrieve the instrument information.
3. For receivers, select either of the available Bluetooth ports (see page 1 for further details), then tap <ok>.
(Only one Bluetooth port option is available on SOKKIA total stations and RC units.)
Note: Make note of the outbound COM port that the iPAQ is using to connect to the instrument. For the iPAQ,
this port is typically 8. To confirm this, select Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Services. From the
Services list, select Serial Port, then tap <Advanced>. The Bluetooth Serial Port settings screen displays
the Outbound COM Port that the iPAQ is using. This is the COM port number that you will need to
specify in the SOKKIA software. For example, in SDR+, you will specify this port in the Communication
tab of the Settings screen in the instrument profile.
Note: To successfully connect to the instrument using the SOKKIA software, you must select COM6 from the
Port list in the software.
1. When you try to connect to an instrument in the SOKKIA software, the Bluetooth Device Search dialog
box is displayed.
2. When the handheld device locates Bluetooth devices that are within range, the New Bluetooth Devices
screen will open. Highlight your instrument in the Device Name list. If you do not see your instrument in
the list, tap <Refresh>.
Note: If you will only be using one instrument, select the Save selection for future use check box. The
next time you attempt a connection to the instrument, it will be automatically selected.
4. For receivers, select either of the available Bluetooth ports (see page 1 for further details), then tap
<Select>. (Only one Bluetooth port option is available on SOKKIA total stations and RC units.)
