THE BTM510/511
INTrOduCTION
This document describes the protocol used to control and configure the BT-MM Bluetooth device.
The AT commands described in the document apply to firmware releases from V14.0.9 onwards.
The protocol is similar to the industry standard Hayes AT protocol used in telephony modems which is
appropriate for cable replacement scenarios, as both types of devices are connection oriented.
Just like telephony modems, Laird Technologies’ devices powers up in an unconnected state and will only respond
via the serial interface. In this state the device will not even respond to Bluetooth Inquiries. Then, just like controlling
a modem, the host can issue AT commands which map to various Bluetooth activities. Configuration can be saved,
so that on a subsequent power up the device is discoverable or automatically connects.
The device has a serial interface and an RF communications end point. The latter has a concept of connected
and unconnected modes and the former will have a concept of command and data modes. This leads to the
matrix of states shown below.
RF UNCONNECTED
RF CONNECTED
Local Command Mode
OK
OK
Remote Command Mode
ILLEGAL
OK
Data Mode
ILLEGAL
OK
The combinations, ‘Data and RF Unconnected Mode’ and ‘Remote Command and RF Unconnected Mode’ do
not make sense and will be ignored.
Navigation between these states is done using the AT commands which are described in detail in subsequent
sections.
