7.0 Configure Bluetooth to Serial Adapter
This chapter explains how to configure the Bluetooth-to-Serial Adapter and pair it with a Bluetooth
USB Dongle.
Please note that Bluetooth USB Dongle is NOT included in the package. We assume
that you have already installed Bluetooth USB Dongle and bound software in your PC successfully.
The following demonstration is the process of pairing steps with Microsoft embedded Bluetooth driver
on Windows XP Service Pack 2.
All the Bluetooth to Serial Adapter must be configured first before they can be used. The purpose of
configuration is to pair two Bluetooth devices for an exclusive connection between them, and pairing is
done by utilizing
Bluetooth Address
and
PIN code
.
After pairing process is done and power is on, Bluetooth to Serial Adapter will
AUTOMATICALLY
try to
link (Master) or to be linked (Slave) with another paired Bluetooth device wirelessly, just like there is a
cable connected between them.
There are two ways to configure your Bluetooth to Serial Adapter :
Local Setting Up
Remote Setting Up
7.1 Local Setting Up
Local setting up can be done by connecting a Bluetooth to Serial Adapter to your PC. You can connect
PC COM port to a Bluetooth to Serial Adapter directly or through a RS-232
converter
cable as shown
in Appendix (page 28).
If you forgot any setting which was done before, local setting up
is also the only way which allows you
to recreate the setting again.
7.1.1 Preparation :
Step 1 :
Connect this Bluetooth to Serial Adapter to your PC COM Port, such as COM1, COM2 or any other.
Step 2 :
