Exclude WLAN Channels
Select WLAN channels that should not be used by the
Bluetooth system. (WLAN black channel list)
The WLAN channels selected here will be excluded in the
BT jump sequence. A maximum of three WLAN channels
can be hidden without restricting the function of the Blue-
tooth system. By excluding WLAN channels, the available
bandwidth will be reduced and thus the number of Blue-
tooth systems that can be operated parallel to each other.
WLAN channels should only be hidden if they are actually
required for high-availability WLAN systems.
Connection
Connection Scheme
in “PANU” operating mode
(client)
Connect to MAC: Based on the MAC address, a direct
connection is established to another device.
The MAC address can either be entered directly in the
“MAC address” field or taken from a “scan”. (Devices in
“Invisible” mode cannot be displayed.)
Connect to Name (Best RSSI): Searches for a connection
to a Bluetooth device with the corresponding name.
In this setting, all responses to the connection request will
be waited for and the connection will then be established to
the partner with the highest receive field strength.
Connect to Name (Fast): Scans for partners and
establishes a connection to the first device responding with
a matching name.
This mode is faster than “Best RSSI”, however, it does not
always ensure the optimum connection.
Connect to Name (P2P only): Scans for a partner and
attempts to establish a connection that is based on the first
response.
Should this partner not belong to the corresponding
network (i.e., the name does not match) the attempt at
connection establishment will be aborted. Using this mode,
connections are established very quickly. However, it can
only be used if there are no visible devices of other
networks (names). Therefore, only use this mode for
dynamic, but clear point-to-point connections.
In order to establish connection on the basis of a network
name, the partner must be “visible”, i.e., it must respond to
an inquiry scan. The EPAs are “visible” up to the point
where the maximum number of connections is reached.
Thereafter, the devices will no longer respond to a scan.
For all Bluetooth networks, it is in general not possible to
ensure a maximum time limit for changing from one
wireless cell to another (roaming). The roaming times will
increase with increasing Bluetooth network utilization.
