The SonarMite Bluetooth Serial Terminal encapsulates all of the Bluetooth™ protocols on a dual
chip, providing a simple serial interface to the host, therefore removing any need for software
drivers or experience in developing wireless technology
Bluetooth - actual range of the device.
The device uses Bluetooth class 1. The range will depend on the other Bluetooth™ device that it
is connected to. It will also depend on the physical environment i.e. obstructive walls and the
type of walls the signal will need to go through and on the antenna that is fitted. Assuming it is
connected to a class 1 device then the maximum range should be between 50 and 150 meters.
Connecting to another Bluetooth™ PC/PDA
The Bluetooth Serial Terminal will connect to any Bluetooth™ enabled device supporting SPP.
This can be in MASTER mode, where the terminal initiates the connection, or SLAVE mode,
where the remote device initiates the connection. The method of connection will vary depending
on the remote device. However, generally the other device will perform a four stage process.
•
The remote device will “discover” other Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth device will
appear as “SMnnnnnn” (where nnnnnn is serial number).
•
The remote device will need to “Pair” with the SonarMite Bluetooth. The pin number is
then entered.
•
The remote device will connect to the serial port service of the SonarMite Bluetooth
Serial Terminal.
•
A virtual “Outgoing” communications Comm port will then generally be created and the
application can then talk over this port to any connection to the SonarMite Bluetooth
Serial Terminal.
•
WHEN CONNECTED THE RED LED WILL ILLUMINATE AND FLASH
CONTINUOUSLY
