FB755AC & FB755AS Version 1.0.3  - 4 -What is Bluetooth?  1. Features of Bluetooth 1) Objectives of Bluetooth : To Realize Wireless Communication for Short Distance with Low Power Consumption, High Reliability, and Low Cost. 2) 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) 3) Transmission Rate : 1Mbps 4) Transmission Output : 1mW(10m, Class2), 100mW(100m Class1) 5) Network Configuration : Configured with Master and Slave relation. A Bluetooth unit shall allow simultaneous connections up to 7 devices (in case of ACL). 6) Reliability : To Guarantee stable wireless communication even under severe noisy environment through adopting the technique of FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum).  2. Operation of Bluetooth    <Figure 0-1 Operation of Bluetooth>  1) Once the Master will inquire the Slave, the Slave will respond to the inquiry to the Master.  2) When the information of Slave will agree with that of the Master, the interconnection will be achieved to transmit the data.

If the color does not change into green, please make sure of the Baud rate of product and re-execute the config tool.
FB755AC & FB755AS Version 1.0.3  - 20 - 1 Serial Connection, Ready To Set : Show the connection status of Config tool and products 3 Status Message : Display the status of command language in progress <Figure 8-3 : config tool connection display>  (6) After the product and config tool is connected properly, select CONFIG button(blue lined box) on Figure<8-3>, display like <Figure 8-4> will comes up to allow to configure the environment.  1 PC Configuration Window : Allow to select the PC configuration value of the product.
FB755AC & FB755AS Version 1.0.3  - 21 -2 Status Value : Output the status value with the form of message.  3 Status of Command Language : Since the preliminary operation method is to use AT command, the progressed AT command language will output in the form of message.   1 READ STATUS Button : To read in the PC configuration set in the product.  2 WRITE STATUS Button : To store the value set in the PC configuration window into the product 3 Factory Setup Button : To reset all the PC configuration value to the factory set value. <Figure 8-4 : config tool Device Configuration >  (7) To summarize the setting up the config tool, follow the procedures as under.  - To strore the set value upon completion, please be sure to click WRITE STATUS button. - Click READ STATUS to read in the stored configuration value to certify the they are correct or not. - If you want to set as the status first received, click Factory Setup to reset the first received value. - Since the config tool was made based on AT command of the product, it is possible to represent the ongoing command language and its status at the form of status value and message window.  Note : Please refer to Appendix PC Configuration for detailed explanation.
FB755AC & FB755AS Version 1.0.3  - 22 - 8-2 PC Configuration using Serial Communication(Hyper Terminal) Program  8-2-1 To execute Hyper Terminal To set up PC configuration using Hyper Terminal, following works will have to be done before power is authorized to the PC connected with the product. To accomplish the PC configuration, serial communication program is required. Here Hyper Terminal will be used for explanation.  (1) Set the Config Select on the PC Interface Board (Jig Board) ON. (2) Execute in the order of [start]Æ[All Programs]Æ[Accessories]Æ[Communications]Æ [Hyper Terminal], then connection window will appear on which enter appropriate name and click.   <Figure 8-5 Set Up Window 1 of Hyper Terminal>  (3) When the <Figure 8-6> comes up, select the COM port connected to FB755AC & FB755AS, and clicks the Acknowledge button.
FB755AC & FB755AS Version 1.0.3  - 23 - <Figure 8-6 Hyper Terminal Set Up Window 2>  (4) When Registration Information Window comes up as on <Figure 8-7>, select Bit per second : 9600, Data bit : 8, Parity : none, Stop bit : 1, Flow control : none, which will execute Hyper Terminal.   <Figure 8-7 Hyper Terminal Set Up Window 3>
FB755AC & FB755AS Version 1.0.3  - 24 -(5) Basically, the Hyper Terminal does not show the entered character.  To make sure of the entered character, select [File]Æ[Properties]  on the Menu, then registration information window will appear shown as on <Figure 8-8>, click the ASCII Setup button.  <Figure 8-8 Hyper Terminal Set Up Window 4>  (6) As shown on <Figure 8-9>, “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.
