7.1.1
Bluetooth connection
Before Field Xpert can be used to configure HART or FOUNDATION fieldbus devices it
must be commissioned. What exactly must be done depends upon the type of connection
that is in use and the license that has been purchased.
In general:
• A Bluetooth connection for HART has already been configured and installed in Field
Xpert by Hauser prior to delivery if a HART or HART plus FOUNDATION
Fieldbus Device Xpert license has been purchased
• A Bluetooth connection for FOUNDATION fieldbus has already been configured and
installed in Field Xpert by Hauser prior to delivery if a FOUNDATION fieldbus or
HART plus FOUNDATION Fieldbus Device Xpert license has been purchased
• A WiFi connection must always be individually configured by the user
The user may also need to install and configure a Bluetooth connection if the license is
upgraded or if the modem needs to be reconfigured following a Field Xpert clean reset
(clean boot), see
chapter 7.3
7.1.2
WiFi connection
If a WiFi connection to a Fieldgate FXA520 (HART) or a gateway SFC162 (FOUNDATION
fieldbus) is selected, then the connection must be set up before the associated Device Xpert
software can be used, see
chapter 7.4

Installing and configuring a Bluetooth modem
The Bluetooth modem has already been installed and configured in Field Xpert by
Hauser prior to delivery. The instructions in this section only need to be
followed if the modem needs to be reconfigured, e.g. following a Field Xpert clean
reset or clean boot, or if another modem is to be used.

Adding a VIATOR Bluetooth modem (HART)
The VIATOR Bluetooth modem has a standard Bluetooth device name,
MACTekVIATORXXXX
, where
XXXX
represents the last four hexadecimal digits of
the device's Bluetooth MAC address. The Bluetooth MAC address can be found above
the serial number on the front label of the modem.
