FB200AS User Guide Version 1.0 1 What is Bluetooth?  Page 5 / 28 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.  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.

FB200AS User Guide Version 1.0 10 Connecting the wireless section of Bluetooth  Page 15 / 28 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. How to connect the wireless section of FB200AS can be performed with 2 significant ways.    Note :   The FB200 uses virtual COM port which shall be operated first before the Hyper Terminal is being used so that the config tool shall be operable normally. Please refer to the driver installation of Appendix FB200 for the instructions of driver installation of FB200.  ※  We will use 2 FB200AS and MS Windows in describing procedures.      10.1 How to connect with Dip Switch Set-up FB200AS can perform data communication once you change the Dip Switch Set-up. The following is how to set the Dip Switch. (1) Set Baud rate Dip Switch of FB200AS(1) to the proper speed for communication (2) Set FUNCTION Dip Switch #3 of FB200AS(1) to SLAVE. (3) Turn the power of FB200AS(1) on. (4) Set Baud rate Dip Switch of FB200AS(2) to the proper speed for communication. (5) Set FUNCTION Dip Switch #3 of FB200AS(2) to MASTER. (6) Turn the power of FB200AS(2) ON. (7) If Status LED of FB200AS is turned on shortly, the wireless section of Bluetooth is properly connected, so Data transmission can be performed.  10.2 Connecting with Connection WIZARD (1) Connect FB200AS(1) to the USB port, and turn the power on. (2) Execute C-Wizard Program.
