FB755AC & FB755AS User Guide Version 1.1 1 What is Bluetooth? Page 5 / 31 1 What is Bluetooth? 1.1 Features of Bluetooth  Objectives of Bluetooth : To Realize Wireless Communication for Short Distance with Low Power Consumption, High Reliability, and Low Cost.  Frequency in Use: To Use ISM(Industrial, Scientific, Medical) Band which does not require any permission to use. - 2.400 – 2.4835 GHz, 79 channels - 2.465 – 2.4835 GHz, 23 channels (in France)  Transmission Rate : 1Mbps ~ 3Mbps  Transmission Output : 1mW (10m, Class2), 100mW (100m Class1)  Network Configuration : Configured with Master and Slave relation. A Bluetooth unit shall allow simultaneous connections up to 7 devices (in case of ACL).  Reliability : To Guarantee stable wireless communication even under severe noisy environment through adopting the technique of FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum). 1.2 Operation of Bluetooth <Feature 1-1 Bluetooth Operation>  Bluetooth operates based on the connection between “Master” and “Slave”.  Masters are simply supposed to do “Inquiry” and “Page”. Slaves are supposed to do “Inquiry Scan” and “Page Scan”.  If a Master finds a Slave and so “inquiry” is successful, a Slave responds to the Master with its information.

FB755AC & FB755AS User Guide Version 1.1 1 What is Bluetooth? Page 6 / 31  Interconnection between the Master and the Slave is achieved only if the information from the Slave is corresponded with the Master, and the Slave sends data to the Master.

FB755AC & FB755AS User Guide Version 1.1 10 Connecting the wireless section of Bluetooth Page 20 / 31 10 Connecting the wireless section of Bluetooth In order for Bluetooth devices to transmit data to each other, the wireless section of Bluetooth should be connected to each other. To connect the wireless section, you should set each role for each device, one for a MASTER, another for a SLAVE. It takes about 1~10 sec that a Master is connected to a Slave. The connection can be done in use of AT command or connection can be set in use of connection WIZARD because the initial connection mode of FB755AC & FB755AS is MODE4 (AT Command). The following contents will be processed under the assumption that the FB755AC & FB755AS are connected to the interface Board (Jig Board). ※ We will use 2 FB755AC & FB755AS and MS Windows in describing procedures. 10.1 Connecting with Connection WIZARD ※ The connection WIZARD can not be used if the DEBUG Char is set to 0x00. Please refer to the details of environment setting in Appendix A for further details. (1) Connect the interface board of the first FB755AC & FB755AS to the serial port of PC and switch ON. (The selection switch of environment setting/bluetooth shall be in OFF.) (2) Execute C-Wizard Program. <Figure 10-1 Connection Wizard Step 1> (3) Click FIRMTECH SLAVE Set-up button (<Figure 10-1> Blue borders)

With Clicking the End button(<Figure 10-6> Blue borders), finish the C-Wizard 10.2 Connection with AT commands The serial communication program is necessary to connect with AT commands. The setting is available using the hyper terminal offered by Windows and refer to the following “11.2.1 Execution of hyper terminal” to set hyper terminal. Refer to the “4. How to use AT commands” of “Appendix B – AT Command Language with Detailed Description and Usage” to use the AT command.

FB755AC & FB755AS User Guide Version 1.1 11 How to complete PC Configuration? Page 24 / 31 11 How to complete PC Configuration? The following PC Configuration shall be explained on the assumption that FB755AC & FB755AS is connected with PC Interface Board(Jig board). If it is connected to MICOM, then you can change the set value by using AT command language with reference to Attachment AT command language. Components for PC Configuration - FB755AC & FB755AS module - PC Interface Kit The PC Configuration could be processed with two significant ways. First one is to use Config tool provided by FIRMTECH Co., Ltd. Second one is to use serial communication program (Hyper Terminal, minicom) providing OS. The respective way of setting is as follows. 11.1 PC Configuration using BTConfig tool (1) Connect FB755AX to PC Interface Board, then connect to COM port(Serial port) of PC. (2) Set the environment setting/bluetooth action selection switch (the 3rd switch in <Fig 6-1>) on PC interface board and switch on <Figure 11-1 BTConfig tool initialization> (3) Execute BTConfig tool after connect FB755AX to serial port of PC. (4) Click “SERIAL OPEN” button. (<Figure 11-1> blue borders)

FB755AC & FB755AS User Guide Version 1.1 11 How to complete PC Configuration? Page 30 / 31 (5) Basically, the Hyper Terminal does not show the entered character. To make sure of the entered character, select [File][Properties] on the Menu, then registration information window will appear shown as on <Figure 12-9>, click the ASCII Setup button. <Figure 11-10 Hyper Terminal Set Up Window 5> (6) As shown on <Figure 11-10>, Check “Echo typed characters locally” and come out pressing the acknowledge button. Now the Hyper Terminal program setting procedure is completed to use PC Configuration. (7) If the power is on interface board, the menu like the <Fig. 11-11> si printed on the hyper terminal. <Figure 11-11 Pc Configuration Menu> 11.2.2 How to Use PC Configuration Menu

FB755AC & FB755AS User Guide Version 1.1 11 How to complete PC Configuration? Page 31 / 31 The user may select the menu to change by selecting the given number in front of the left end menu. For example : To change “GO TO BLUETOOTH PARAMETER MENU”, enter : [1][Enter] Note : At <Figure 11-11> condition, Pressing Reset button for more than 2 seconds will reset all the configured values to the initial status (factory preset status). Following is the order to use the menu. (1) The execution will only be executed by pressing the “Enter” key. (2) The small character “t” will always move to be positioned at upper side of the menu. (3) To move menu, use the number in the end of left side. Please be sure to “Enter” key upon completion of input. (4) “←” key is used to delete the entered character currently. (5) If the entered character is unreadable or is not supported at the appropriate menu, “Retry >” message will be output. (6) If the input message is more than 12 characters, “Overflow buffer” message will be output and then “Retry >” message appeared as well. Upon completion of all PC configuration, turn off the Interface Board, switch the PC Configuration/Operation Selection switch OFF, and turn the power ON, which will start the Bluetooth to operate normally. Note : Please refer to Appendix A PC Configuration for the detailed description on the configuration value.
