Hint

If available, the function “AP / Client Isolation” of your wireless network must be disabled, so that different devices can communicate with each other. Please note that in many public wireless networks the AP isolation function is enabled and therefore you cannot use your smartphone as card reader in those networks.

In order to pair your device with a smartphone, select the smartphone from the list.

On the remote device, tap on the start pairing button shown below:
