RFD40 devices come in with different capabilities with respect to scanner support and WIFI/BT support. Following code snippet can be used once connected to find the capabilities of the device


public static HashMap versionInfo = new HashMap<>(5);
reader.Config.getDeviceVersionInfo(versionInfo);
String scannerName = Application.versionInfo.get(Application.versionInfo.get(“SCANNER_NAME”));
String BTADDR = Application.versionInfo.get(Application.versionInfo.get(“BD_ADDRESS”));

Based on the values returned by scannerName and BTADDR You can determine if device supports scanner and BT/WIFI. Values will contain valid scanner version and BT address.
