RESET BUTTON
Short press of Reset causes adaptor to re-
set the device. Holding down Reset for >10
seconds causes adaptor to revert to its de-
fault setting.
POWER
Powered through non-communication sig-
nal wires of supplied 9-conductor cable (for
RS232 port) or with included wide-range
AC/DC switched-mode wall adaptor.
BB-RS232 can be mounted on the rear rack
rails using included rack screws (2).
BB-RS232 can also be zip-tied (zip-ties not
included) to the inside of the equipment
rack or mounted to the wall utilizing its
flange holes. The Adaptor may also be situ-
ated on the floor, provided there is no risk of
the product being damaged.
NOTE:
That the placement of the Adaptor
should take into consideration the proximity
of the BlueBOLT-enabled product it is con-
nected to. The supplied 9-conductor cable
is 3 feet. Additionally, the AC Wall adaptor
cord length is 6 ft. (if needed).
It is recommended that you read the entire
list of instructions before proceeding.
ATTENTION: PLEASE RETAIN MAC AD-
DRESS IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND
CHALLENGE KEY. This is unique to every
BB-RS232 adapter and will be required
for registration. Connect an Ethernet cable
(sold separately) between the BB-RS232
and an Internet router or
modem with an
established Internet connection.
Q.

A.
Check the Status LED and confirm the
unit is on.
Q.
Is your Internet connection functioning?
A.
The “Link” light should be illuminated
(solid green) and the “Activity” light should

The BB-RS232 uses a Male 9-Pin DE9
(D-Sub) connector for power and serial
communications. A BlueBOLT
®
enabled
host device will have the opposite gender
(Female) of the same type of 9-Pin DE9
connector. To connect the BB-RS232 to a
BlueBOLT™ enabled device, use the DE9
Male to Female cable supplied with BB-
RS232.
The table below shows the pin and signal
designations for the DE9 connector on the
BB-RS232.
