Pairing with another Serial Bluetooth Adapter
If you do not have a built-in or external Bluetooth dongle you can instead use two serial
Bluetooth adapters to setup a link as illustrated in below illustration. This is a more direct
form of cable replacement since you do not need Bluesoleil or any other software to
establish a communication link.
First you will need to configure the two units as a slave and a master. To do this you can
use TeraTerm or HyperTerminal.
1.
Connect one serial Bluetooth adapter to your computer, this will be assigned the
master unit. If your computer does not have a serial port then you can connect the
serial Bluetooth adapter via a USB to serial adapter. If using a USB serial adapter
make sure that the COM port has been successfully created (check in Device
Manager) before continuing. Please see our “USB to Serial Setup Guide” for
information on how to successfully setup a USB serial Adapter. We recommend
using a Premium USB to Serial adapter (with FTDI processor chip), Prolific chips
will in some cases not work.
Notice the COM port number
, you will need it later.
Notice: The parameters of the UCBT232B/EXA can be configured through the serial
COM interface or over Bluetooth.
RESTART YOUR COMPUTER WITH THE USB TO SERIAL ADAPTER
CONNECTED TO YOUR COMPUTER AFTER INSTALLING THE DRIVERS.
Otherwise you might experience problems with TeraTerm communication.
