12. Customizing the Proteus-III
12.1. DIS - Device information service
Besides the AMBER SPP-like profile for data transmission, the Proteus-III contains the so
called Device Information Service. This profile exposes manufacturer information about a
device and is used to personalize the Proteus-III to fuse with the custom product. The Device
Information Service is a standard Bluetooth
®
LE profile that is recognized by all devices with
Bluetooth
®
capabilities. It contains the following fields, that can only be modified by updating
the respective user setting using the
command:
Field name
User setting
Maximum length
Manufacturer Name String
64
Model Number String
64
Serial Number String
64
Hardware Revision String
16
Software Revision String
16
Furthermore, the user setting
defines which of the described DIS fields are finally
placed in the DIS profile. Thus after adding content to the a DIS field user setting, like
, the user setting
has to be adapted such that the content
is added to the profile.
12.2. UUID
The UUID is a unique number identifying a Bluetooth
®
LE profile and thus describing its func-
tions. The Proteus-III using its standard UUID is compatible to all devices that implement the
AMBER SPP-like profile, whichever device it is integrated. To suspend this interoperability,
the user setting
can be used to modify the UUID of the AMBER SPP-like
profile. With this, a new custom SPP-like profile is defined that is solely known to those that
chose the new UUID.
To generate a custom UUID the Bluetooth
®
SIG recommends to use the tool:
12.3. Appearance
The appearance of the Bluetooth
®
device is a 2 Bytes value defined by the Bluetooth
®
SIG.
It can be configured by adapting the parameter
