OVERVIEW AND KEY FEATURES
®
Every BT730 series Bluetooth module from Laird Technologies is designed to add robust, long-range
Bluetooth data connectivity to any device. Based on the market-leading Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR)
BC04 chipset, BT730 modules provide exceptionally low power consumption with outstanding Class 1
range via 18 dBm of transmit power. A broad range of Bluetooth profiles and other vital features make
BT730 modules superior to other Bluetooth modules.
With a compact footprint of 15.29 x 28.71 mm, the modules deliver maximum range with minimum size.
Another integration advantage is the inclusion of a complete Bluetooth v2.0 protocol stack with support for
multi-point connections and numerous Bluetooth profiles including Serial Port Profile (SPP), Dial Up
Networking (DUN), OBEX Client, FTP Client plus partial support for Headset (HSP) and HandsFree
(HFP). BT730 modules are fully qualified as Bluetooth end products, enabling designers to integrate the
modules in devices without the need for further Bluetooth qualification.
An integrated AT command processor interfaces to the host system over a serial port using an extensive
range of AT commands. The AT command set abstracts the Bluetooth protocol from the host application,
saving many months of programming and integration time. It provides extremely short integration times
for data oriented Bluetooth applications.
The included firmware provides programming support for multi-point applications that use up to three
simultaneous data connections to and from the robust BT730 module. A low-cost developer’s kit makes it
easy for an OEM to integrate the module and guarantees the fastest route to prototype and then mass
production.

Notes:
1. Unused pins may have internal connections and must not be connected.
2. Pins 2, 6, 32, and 33 (SPI related) are only for Laird internal production purposes.
3. Pins 34 - 36 are only for uFL connector version of module – BT730-SC
4. Power-on-reset (power cycling and brown out consideration) – The reset circuitry within the
BT730 module incorporates a brown-out detector; this may simplify power supply design. The
BT730 reset line is an active low. Input debounced so must be low for more than 5 ms to cause a
reset. Upon the application of power, the Power On Reset circuit built into the module ensures
that the unit starts correctly. There is no need for an external power reset monitor.
5. Power Supply Consideration – The power supply for the module should be a single voltage
source of VCC within the VCC_IN range of 3.0 V to 5.0 V. It must be able to provide sufficient
current in a transmit burst. This can rise to 200 mA. To limit dissipation it is recommended that
you use a voltage at the lower end of the range.
6. The module includes regulators to provide local 3.3 V. This rail is accessible on pin 13 for
monitoring purposes only. Under no circumstances should this pin be used to source current.

COMPATIBILITY NOTE FOR LEGACY DEVICES
If Reset compatibility is required with BTM402 and BTM404: Reset logic must be inverted (on the host
PCB), by using suitable BJT (MMBT3904) with collector connected to Reset pin BT730 module pin 5. A
fixed 10k Ohm pull down resistor to ground (BJT input) then ensures that the BT730 module is out of
reset for the condition when host has yet to control the reset line.
Add a 10k pull-up to the host PCB on the UART_RX, otherwise the module will remain in deep sleep if
not driven to high.
Add a 10k pull-down to the host PCB on the UART_CTS that if it is not connected (which we do not
recommend) then the default state for UART_CTS input will be asserted which means can send data out
of UART_TX line.
PIO lines can be configured through software to be either inputs or outputs with weak or strong pull-ups
or pull-downs. At reset, all PIO lines are configured as inputs with weak pull-downs.
UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS, UART_RTS, UART_RI, UART_DCD, and UART_DSR are all 3.3 V
level logic. For example, when RX and TX are idle they will be sitting at 3.3 V. Conversely, for
handshaking pins CTS, RTS, RI, DCD, and DSR, a 0 V is treated as an assertion.
Pin 28 (UART_RI) is active low. It is normally 3.3 V. When a remote device initiates a connection, this pin
goes low. This means that when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the correct
voltage level for assertion.
Pin 17 (UART_DCD) is active low. It is normally 3.3 V. When a connection is live, this pin is low. This
means that when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the correct voltage level for
assertion.
Pin 16 (UART_DSR) is an input, with active low logic. It should be connected to the DTR output of the
host. When the BTM730 module is in high speed mode (see definition for S Register 507), this pin should
be asserted by the host to ensure that the connection is maintained. A deassertion means that the
connection should be dropped or an online command mode is being requested.
Pin 13 (VCC_3V3 monitor) may only be used for monitoring purposes. It must not be used as a current
source.
The GPIO pins can be accessed using S Registers 623 to 629.
GPIO3 is also used for DTR output (active low).See S Register 552 and553.
Analogue 0 and 1 should not exceed 1.8 V and S Registers 701 and 702 are used to access them.

USB Signal Levels.vdd_usb refers to the internal voltage generated by the LDO regulator on the module,
which is typically 3.3 V. Hence 0.3vdd_usb and 0.7vdd_usb correspond to 1.0 V to 2.3 V. To achieve
3.3V for vdd_usb requires VCC_IN of 3.5V. USB IO voltage levels follows VCC_3V3. For correct USB
operation, would require vdd_usb on 3.1V which requires of VCC_IN of ~3.3V (0.2V LDO drop).

4. IO CHARACTERISTICS
4.1
Power Consumption
The current drain from the VCC power input line is dependent on various factors. The three most
significant factors are the voltage level at VCC, UART baud rate, and the operating mode. The hardware
specification for the module allows for a voltage range of 3.0 to 5.0 at VCC. The unit includes a linear
regulator and tests have shown that there is no significant difference in current draw when VCC changes
within the operating limits. Tests have shown that where power dissipation is an issue, it is best to keep
VCC at the lower end of the range.
The UART baud rate has a bearing on power dissipation because as is normal for digital electronics, the
power requirements increase linearly with increasing clocking frequencies. Because of this, higher baud
rates result in a higher current drain. Finally, the significant operating modes are: idle, waiting for a
connection, inquiring, initiating a connection, sniff, and connected. With connected mode, it is also
relevant to differentiate between no data being transferred and when data is being transferred at the
maximum rate possible. The AT command set document describes how to configure the module for
optimal power performance.

full Bluetooth communication. The integrated, high performance antenna, together with the RF and baseband circuitry provides the Bluetooth wireless link and the UART interface provides a connection to the
host system.
The variety of interfaces and the AT command set allow the BT730 module to be used for a wide number
of long range wireless applications, from simple cable replacement to complex multipoint applications,
where multiple radio links are active at the same time.
The complexity and flexibility of configuration are made simple for the design engineer by the integration
of an extremely comprehensive set of AT commands, supplemented with a range of “S” registers which
are used for non-volatile storage of system parameters.
To provide the widest scope for integration a range of different physical host interfaces are provided.
5.1
UART Interface
UART_TX, UART_RX, UART_RTS, and UART_CTS form a conventional asynchronous serial data port
with handshaking. The interface is designed to operate correctly when connected to other UART devices
such as the 16550A. The signalling levels are nominal 0 V and 3.3 V and are inverted with respect to the
signalling on an RS232 cable. The interface is programmable over a variety of bitrates; no, even, or odd
parity; stop bit and hardware flow control. The default condition on power-up is pre-assigned in the
external flash. Two-way hardware flow control is implemented by UART_RTS and UART_CTS.
UART_RTS is an output and is active low. UART_CTS is an input and is active low.
These signals operate according to normal industry convention. UART_RX, UART_TX, UART_CTS,
UART_RTS, UART_RI, UART_DCD, and UART_DSR are all 3.3 V level logic. For example, when RX
and TX are idle they sit at 3.3 V. Conversely for handshaking pins CTS, RTS, RI, DCD, and DSR, a 0 V is
treated as an assertion.
By writing different values to the relevant S register the UART_RI can be continuously polled to detect
incoming communication. The UART_RI signal serves to indicate incoming calls.
UART_DSR is an active low input. It should be connected to DTR output of the host. When the module is
running in high speed mode (see definition for S Reg 507), this pin should be asserted by the host to
ensure connection is maintained. A de-assertion means that the connection should be dropped or an
online command mode is being requested.
The module communicates with the customer application using the following signals:


Port /TXD of the application sends data to the module’s UART_RX signal line
Port /RXD of the application receives data from the module’s UART_TX signal line

Note: The serial module output is at 3.3 V CMOS logic levels. Level conversion must be added
to interface with an RS-232 level compliant interface.
Some serial implementations link CTS and RTS to remove the need for handshaking. Laird does not
recommend linking CTS and RTS other than for testing and prototyping. If these pins are linked and the
host sends data at the point that the BT740 deasserts its RTS signal, then there is a significant risk that
internal receive buffers will overflow; this could lead to an internal processor crash. This also leads to a
drop in connection and may require a power cycle to reset the module. Laird recommends that the correct
CTS/RTS handshaking protocol be followed for proper operation.
5.2
SPI Bus
The module is a slave device that uses terminals SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_CLK, and SPI_CSB. This
interface is used for program firmware updates at the factory. Laird supplies a PC-based utility to allow a
firmware upgrade over the UART port. It is highly recommended that customers use this method for
updating firmware.
Note: The designer should be aware that no security protection is built into the hardware or
firmware associated with this port, so the terminals should not be permanently connected
in a PC application.
5.3
PCM Interface
PCM_OUT, PCM_IN, PCM_CLK, and PCM_SYNC carry up to three bi-directional channels of voice data,
each at 8 k samples/s. The format of the PCM samples can be 8-bit A-law, 8-bit μ-law, 13-bit linear, or16bit linear. The PCM_CLK and PCM_SYNC terminals can be configured as inputs or outputs, depending
on whether the module is the master or slave of the PCM interface. Please contact a Laird FAE for further
details.
The module is compatible with the Motorola SSI TM interface and interfaces directly to PCM audio
devices including the following:

General Purpose I/O and ADC
5.4.1 GPIO
Seven lines of programmable bi-directional input/outputs (I/O) are provided that can be accessed either
via the UART port, or Over The Air (OTA) from a second Bluetooth unit. These can be used as data
inputs or to control external equipment. By using these in OTA mode, a BT730 module can be used for
control and data acquisition without the need for any additional host processor. Each of the GPIO[3:9]
ports can be independently configured to be either an input or output. A selection of ports can be
accessed synchronously.
The ports are powered from VCC. The mode of these lines can be configured and the lines are accessed
via S Registers 623 to 629.
5.4.2 ADC
The BT730 provides access to two 8-bit ADCs (Analogue 0 and 1). These provide an input range of 0 mV
to 1,800 mV, which can be read using the S registers 701 and 702.
Suitable external scaling and over-voltage protection should be incorporated in your design. The module
provides five samples per second at the UART with a baud rate of 115,200 or above.
6. AT COMMAND SET REFERENCE
6.1
Introduction
This document describes the protocol used to control and configure the following Laird Technologies
Bluetooth devices:


BT730-SA
BT730-SC
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. The
telephony commands have been extended to make the Laird device perform the two core actions of a
Bluetooth device, which is make/break a connection and Inquiry. Other AT commands are also provided
to perform ancillary functions, such as pairing, trusted device database management, and S register
maintenance.
Similar to telephony modems, the Laird device powers up in an unconnected state and only responds via
the serial interface. In this state, the Laird device does not respond to Bluetooth inquiries. Then, just like
controlling a modem, the host can issue AT commands which map to various Bluetooth activities. The
command set is extensive enough to allow a host to make connections which are authenticated and/or
encrypted or not authenticated and/or encrypted or any combination of these. Commands can be saved,
so that on a subsequent power-up the device is discoverable or automatically connects.
The device has a serial interface which can be configured for baud rates from 1200 up to 921600 and an
RF communications end point. The latter has a concept of connected and unconnected modes and the
former has a concept of command and data modes. This leads to the matrix of states shown in Table 6-1.

Assumptions
The CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) BC04 chipset in Laird devices is memory resource limited. Therefore
it is not proposed that there be full implementation of the AT protocol as seen in modems. The claim
made for this device is that it has a protocol similar to an AT modem. In fact, the protocol is so similar that
existing source code written for modems can be used with very little modification with a Laird device.
The following assumptions are made:





6.3
All commands are terminated by the carriage return character 0x0D, which is represented by the
string  in descriptions below this cannot be changed.
All responses from the Laird device have carriage return and linefeed characters preceding and
appending the response. These dual character sequences have the values 0x0D and 0x0A
respectively and shall be represented by the string .
All Bluetooth addresses are represented by a fixed 12 digit hexadecimal string, case insensitive.
All Bluetooth Device Class codes are represented by a fixed six digit hexadecimal string, case
insensitive.
All new Bluetooth specific commands are identified by the string +BTx, where x is generally a
mnemonic of the intended functionality.
Commands
This section describes all available AT commands. Many commands require mandatory parameters and
some take optional parameters. These parameters are integer values, strings, Bluetooth addresses, or
device classes. The following convention is used when describing the various AT commands.

A 12 character Bluetooth address consisting of ASCII characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘F’ and ‘a’ to ‘f’.

A 6 character Bluetooth device class consisting of ASCII characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘F’ and ‘a’ to ‘f’.
A positive integer value.
An integer value (positive or negative) which can be entered as a decimal value or in hexadecimal if
preceded by the ‘$’ character. E.g. the value 1234 can also be entered as $4D2

A string delimited by double quotes. E.g. "Hello World". The " character MUST be supplied as
delimiters.

A 4 character UUID number consisting of ASCII characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘F’ and ‘a’ to ‘f’.

The value part ‘m’ can be entered as decimal or hexadecimal. A hexadecimal value is specified via a ‘$’
leading character. For example, $1234 is a hexadecimal number.
When S register values are changed, the changes are not stored in non-volatile memory until the AT&W

When set to 0, a connection can be dropped using ^^^ escape
sequence only and the state of DSR line is ignored.
When set to 1, a connection can be dropped using EITHER the ^^^
escape sequence OR the DSR handshaking line. When set to 2, a
connection can only dropped using a deassertion of DSR. Mode 2
provides for the highest data transfer rate.
If the status of the DSR line is to be conveyed to the remote device
as a low bandwidth signal then this register MUST be set to 0,
otherwise a deassertion of DSR will be seen as a request to drop the
Bluetooth connection.
This register affects S Register 536 – see details of 536.

Specify power up state.
When set to 0, AT+BTO is required to open the device for Bluetooth
activity.
When set to 1, it proceeds to a state as if AT+BTO was entered.
When set to 2, it is discoverable only, similar to issuing AT+BTQ.
When set to 3, it is connectable but not discoverable e.g. AT+BTG
When set to 4, it is connectable and discoverable e.g. AT+BTP.
When set to 5, it is like 2, but all UART RX traffic is discarded in
absence of a connection while DSR is asserted. If DSR is not
asserted, then it behaves exactly as per mode 2.
When set to 6, it is like 3, but all UART RX traffic is discarded in
absence of a connection while DSR is asserted. If DSR is not
asserted, then it behaves exactly as per mode 3.
When set to 7, it is like 4, but all UART RX traffic is discarded in
absence of a connection while DSR is asserted. If DSR is not
asserted, then it behaves exactly as per mode 4.
Note: By implication, a change to this can only be seen after a
power cycle AND if AT&W is actioned prior to the power
cycle.
If S Reg 554 is non-zero and this register is between 2 and 7
inclusive, then the value of S554 specifies the time in seconds that
the device will remain in the specified mode after power up. On
timeout, the device falls back to the mode specified in S Register 555.
In modes 5, 6, and 7, when all RX activity is ignored, only the special
command (capitalised) AT+BT&BISM& terminated by a  forces
the module temporarily back into modes 2,3 and 4 respectively.
In some firmware builds, S Registers 565 to 569 inclusive are visible,
which allows the start-up mode to depend on the state of RI line
(Setting S Reg 565 forces the RI pin to be configured as an input).
For this feature to be active, S Reg 565 should be set to 1. In that
case, on start-up, if RI is asserted, then the start-up mode is defined
by S Reg 566 and if deasserted then S Reg 567.

Change baud rate to non-standard value. Laird modules support any
baud rate. The only limitation is the integer arithmetic involved, which
may adjust the applied rate slightly. If the internally computed baud
rate is more than 2% offset from the desired input value, then an
ERROR is returned and the old baud rate prevails. To inspect the
actual baud rate, do ATS521?
S521 should only be used for non-standard baud rates. For standard
baud rates use S520.
The effect is immediate and the OK is sent at the new baud rate.
If S Register 525=1, then the max baud rate is limited to 115200
In the event that a non-standard baud rate is requested, it is entirely
possible that the host is not capable of generating such a baud rate.
In this case the Laird Technologies device cannot be communicated
with. If this happens, there is a procedure to recover from this
situation which is described in section titled “Factory Default Mode”
The default is 9600 for the Laird module and 115200 for other Laird
devices.

It is required in the PC Card because the UART chip on the PC Card
is driven by a 14.7456MHZ crystal instead of 1.8432MHz. This means
that when a host asks for a baud rate, in reality it gets a baud rate
which is 8 times faster.

This register specifies a two bit mask used to qualify how S Registers
520 to 525 are actioned.
When bit 0 is 1, the new comms parameter affects the UART
immediately.
When bit 1 is 1, the new comms parameter is stored in non-volatile
memory.
For example, to change comms parameters but have them come into
effect only after subsequent power cycles, set this register to 2.
Likewise, for an immediate effect that does not persist over a power
cycle, set the value to 1. This must be set before the baud rate

This register specifies in each 4 bit nibble, how the outgoing modem
status bits to the remote peer gets its value. Bluetooth allows for
RTR, RTC, DV, and IC bits to be exchanged over an RFCOMM
connection.
Nibble 0..3 specifies the source for RTC
4..7 specifies the source for RTR
8..11 specifies the source for DV (i.e. DCD)
12..15 specifies the source for IC (i.e. RI)
Each nibble can take the following value:
 0 – Always set to 0
 1 – Always set to 1
 2 – If DCD (pin 8 on module connector) is output then always 1
If DCD is input then 1 if DCD is asserted otherwise 0
 3 – If RI (pin 6) is output then always 0
If RI is input then 1 if RI is asserted otherwise 0
If DSR (pin 10) is asserted then 1 otherwise 0
In the event that a nibble specifies DSR as the source of its state, be
aware that if S Register 507 is anything other than 0, a de-assertion
of DSR causes the Bluetooth connection to be dropped.
If bits 0..3 and 4..7 are set to 0, then some Bluetooth devices will use
that as a signal to stop sending any data back. For example, Nokia
6310 stops responding.
If this register is changed while in command and connected mode,
then on going back online using the ATO command, a fresh signal is
sent to the peer to update the bits.

for approximately two seconds for the device to once again start responding to AT commands. The best
way to determine if the device is alive is to keep sending it AT until it responds with an OK response.
After version 2.7.0, it is safe to communicate after receiving an OK.
The optional parameter  is only available for firmware 2.7.0 and newer and is a value in the range 0 to

6.3.35 ERROR RESPONSE
For a single inquiry request with the Bluetooth inquiry process, a device could respond many times. To
ensure that an address is sent to the host only once for a particular AT+BTI, an array of addresses is
created at the start of each AT+BTI and is filled as responses come in. This array of addresses is stored
in dynamic memory and, if the memory allocation fails, the inquiry procedure is aborted. If that occurs, an
error response is sent to the host.
To clarify, a single AT+BTI never returns the same Bluetooth address more than once, but as long as the

6.3.51 AT+BTR{Set Outgoing Peer Address}
This command is used to store a peer address for outbound connections in non-volatile memory. A value
of 000000000000 has the special meaning of invalid peer address.
This command is used to set up a module in pure cable replacement mode.
If S register 512 = 1 and the peer address is not 000000000000, then it periodically (time specified via S
register 505) attempts to connect to the peer address specified. In this circumstance, all commands from
the host are buffered in the receive buffer until a Bluetooth connection is established with the peer device
and it then sends 0 the buffer across. This means that if the peer device is not in the vicinity and will
never be there, the device effectively becomes useless, as in this circumstance a host would want to get
attention of the AT parser to send it new commands – probably one to delete the peer device.
In this circumstance, a recovery is possible by one of two methods. The first method assumes that the
DTR from the host is connected to the DSR line of the module and the second method assumes that this
connection is absent. In the first method it is enough to deassert the DTR line from the host and that will
abort the autoconnect cycle. The second method is initiated by resetting the device and then ensuring
that the text string “AT+BT&BISM&” is sent (where  is the carriage return character). There is
special code which looks out for this magic command and terminates the autoconnect cycle if it sees it
and confirms to the host of that fact by sending an “OK” response.

This initiates pairing with a device whose Bluetooth address is . An OK response is sent and
when the PIN is required, asynchronous indications are sent to the host in the form PIN? 
where the address confirms the device with which the pairing is to be performed. To supply a PIN, use
the AT+BTK command.
For a successful pairing, the link key is stored in a volatile cache which is overwritten each time a new
pairing is initiated using this command. The link key can be stored in a non-volatile database within the
device. The list of trusted devices is managed using commands AT+BTT?, AT+BTT, and AT+BTD. The
AT+BTT? command produces a list of trusted Bluetooth addresses (link key is never displayed) and
AT+BTT is used to store the cached link key. The command AT+BTD123456789012 is used to remove
the specified device from the database.
The OK response is sent immediately upon receipt of the AT+BTW command. On pairing completion, an
unsolicited message is sent to the host which is in the form PAIR n . See section 3.7 TBC for
more details.
If AT+BTI, AT+BTP, AT+BTG, AT+BTQ, or ATD is issued between the AT+BTW command and the

Unsolicited Responses
The ‘AT’ Protocol is a command/response type of protocol. This means that the Laird device will normally
only respond to AT commands.
Under special circumstances, unsolicited responses are sent to the host. They are described in the
following subsections.
6.4.1 RING
This string is sent to the host when a remote device is initiating a serial port connection. The fully qualified
string is in the form RING 012345678901 where 012345678901 is a 12 digit hexadecimal number which
corresponds to the remote device’s Bluetooth address. This response is sent to the host every two
seconds until the host either accepts the connection using the ATA command or rejects it using the ATH
command.
6.4.2 PIN?
This response is sent to the host during a pairing negotiation.
The fully qualified string is PIN? 012345678901 where 012345678901 is the Bluetooth address of the
peer device. In response, the host must supply a pin code which is entered using the AT+BTK command.
If the peer address does not supply the address in the message exchange, then the address is specified
as 000000000000 – and the paring will proceed as normal.
6.4.3 AUDIO ON
This response is sent to the host when a SCO channel has been established.
6.4.4 AUDIO OFF
This response is sent to the host when an existing SCO channel has been closed.
6.4.5 AUDIO FAIL
This response is sent to the host when a SCO channel setup fails.
6.4.6 ERROR 27
This response is sent to the host on power up if the firmware is unlicensed.
6.4.7 PAIR n 
This response is sent to the host on termination of a pairing process. If pairing was successful then ‘n’ = 0,
if a timeout occurred then ‘n’=1 and for all other unsuccessful outcomes the value is 2.
The parameter  is the address of the peer device if available.
6.4.8 PAIR 0  MM
This response is sent to the host on termination of a successful pairing process. The optional MM is sent
only if S Register 538 is set to 1 to automatically save the link key. The value MM indicates the result of
the save operation and a value of 00 implies success, otherwise the value corresponds to an error code.

6.4.9 RX
This response is sent to the host when the unit is in online-command mode and S Register 531 is set to 3
and data arrives from a peer.
If the data from the string contains non-visual characters (for example ASCII 0 to 31 and ASCII 128 to
255), then those characters are translated into a three character escape sequence starting with ‘\’. For
example the embedded  sequence would be sent as the six character string \0D\0A.
If the data contains the character ‘"’ then it is sent as \22.
If the data contains the character ‘\’ then it is sent as \5C
6.4.10 AG
This response is sent to the host when a serviced audio gateway connection is in progress and the profile
requires some action from the host.
6.5
Incoming Connections
The Laird device can be configured using the AT+BTP or AT+BTG command so that it scans for incoming
connections from other Bluetooth devices. It can also be configured via S Register 512 to be in this mode
by default on power up.
When the lower layers detect an incoming call, a RING 123456789012 string is sent to the host every
second. The command ATA is used to accept the connection and ATH to reject it.
On connection, if the S0 Register is >=0 then confirmation to the host is in the form:




CONNECT 123456789012
CONNECT 123456789012 A
CONNECT 123456789012 E
CONNECT 123456789012 AE
(A = Authenticated connection; E = Encryption enabled)
When S0 register is -1, neither RING nor CONNECT is sent to the host and the connection is silently
accepted.
If the S 100 register is non-zero, then after the ring indications specified by this register have been sent to
the host, and the host has failed to accept or reject the incoming connection, then an automatic ‘hangup’
is initiated.
6.6
Dropping Connections
In a conventional telephony modem, a call is normally terminated by first sending a +++ character
sequence enveloped by an escape sequence guard time (of the order of 100 to 1000 milliseconds) to
enter local command and connected mode and then the ATH command.
Laird Bluetooth modules provide a variety of ways of dropping a connection. One method is similar to the
above, but instead a ^^^ character sequence is used; this eliminates ambiguity when a data call is in
progress via a mobile phone which was established using the mobile phone’s Bluetooth AT modem. The
second method involves the host dropping the DTR (DSR from the module’s viewpoint) handshaking line.
Being able to drop a connection using the escape sequence ^^^ has a severe penalty on data throughput.
In fact, the data rate is of the order of 85 kbps instead of about 200 kbps. To cater for this performance hit,
the device’s connection drop capability is configurable to be in one of two modes.

Class 1 Bluetooth v2.0 Module
User’s Guide
One mode allows for a connection to be dropped using either method; the other mode allows for a
connection drop using the DTR method only. By default, the device is in the former mode. This mode is
selected using the S507 register. See 錯誤! 找不到參照來源。 for more information on S Registers.
To reiterate, the escape sequence is as follows:

Even when a file transfer is occurring and it happens to be full of  characters, it is not going to
drop into command mode because, when transferring a file, it is going to occur as fast as possible; this
means that the inter character gap is going to be significantly shorter than the .
The  character can be changed via the S2 register and the  interval can be
specified via the S12 register.
6.7
Pairing and Trusted Devices
When authentication is enabled via S register 500 or when using the ‘u’ modifier in the ATD and AT+BTP
commands, a connection attempt requires a link key for the peer device. The link key can be obtained
prior to connection by invoking the AT+BTW and AT+BTK commands. A new link key can be obtained as
often as required and is stored in a volatile cache. At any time, this cached link key can be added to the
trusted devices database using the AT+BTT command. A trusted device can be deleted using the
AT+BTD command. To view a list of trusted device, issue the command AT+BTT?.
In addition, if S Register 538 is set to 1, then on a successful pairing, the link key is automatically
saved to the trusted device database. In that case, the asynchronous message PAIR 0 
has an error code appended at the end to convey the result of the save operation.
When a connection attempt requires a link key, the trusted device database is searched automatically
and if one exists, it is provided without host interaction. If the link key is not present, then the connection
attempt is terminated and a NO CARRIER response is given to the ATD command.
A typical session to pair an Ericsson T68i (for example) to a serial module would be:
1. Make the T68i discoverable and send AT+BTI to the serial module. This results in inquiry
responses from all devices. Make a note of the Bluetooth address of the phone e.g. 123456789012.
2. On the T68i start pairing procedure by selecting “Phone accepts” in the relevant Bluetooth menu.
3. Send command AT+BTW123456789012 to the serial module.
4. Confirm that you get an OK response and then PIN? responds on a two second interval.
5. Enter a pin code on the phone (such as 12345768).
6. Enter the command AT+BTK=”12345678”.
The phone confirms success and likewise the serial module responds with OK.
7. On success, the serial module sends an unsolicited message in the form of PAIR 0 .
8. Send AT+BTT to the serial module so that the pairing information is stored in the non-volatile
database.
9. Confirm that the link key has been stored by sending the command AT+BTT?. This results in a list
of all devices paired with the module.
If two Laird devices need to be paired, then it can be accomplished as follows:



To device 1 send ATI4, it responds with the local Bluetooth address (e.g., 123456789001).
To device 1 send AT+BTP. It becomes discoverable and connectable.
To device 2 send AT+BTW123456789001 and it responds with OK.
Both devices display PIN? asynchronous responses.

To both modules. send AT+BTK=”12345678”.

Factory Default Mode
Laird devices are capable of operating at a wide range of baud rates. S Registers 520 and 521 allow the
baud rate to be easily set. The baud rate clock generator in the Laird device is more versatile than one
available in a standard 16550 UART commonly available in PCs.
In fact, as long as the equation BAUDRATE * 0.004096 produces an integer value, there is 0% error in
clocking for that baud rate.
Because of this, it is possible to set a baud rate that a PC cannot cope with and, in that circumstance, it is
virtually impossible to communicate with it.
For this type of circumstance, the Laird device comes out of reset using 9600,N,8,1 comms settings for
exactly 750 milliseconds and then reverts to the comms parameters as per the S Registers.
If the host sends the string !! where  is the carriage return character within that 750 ms
period, then the module remains at 9600,N,8,1 and configures itself using factory default S Register
values.
6.10 Miscellaneous Features
This chapter describes various features which cannot be categorized appropriately.
6.10.1 RI dependent Start-up Mode
The UART_RI line can be configured as an input and on power its state can be used to force the device
into one of two modes. See description for S Registers 565 to 569 inclusive for more details.
For example, the feature could allow a device to make an outgoing connection if RI is in one state, and be
ready for an incoming connection in the other.

6.10.2 Pulse a GPIO pin
To flash a GPIO pin, set it as an output using S reg 610 and then use S reg 585 to 587 inclusive to set the
pin, period, and duty cycle respectively.
6.10.3 Flash LED on Connectable Mode
S reg 534 now takes a value up to two. A value of two configures it so that it blinks when the module is in
connectable mode.
6.10.4 Reset via BREAK
The module can be reset by sending a BREAK signal. A BREAK signal exists when the module’s
UART_RX input is in a non-idle state (0v) for more than 125 milliseconds.
6.10.5 Digital I/O Cable Replacement
The module has a number of general purpose digital I/O pins. The direction of these is specified via S
Reg 610.
When S Reg 531 is set to four at both ends of the connection, on connection, any changes in the states
of the inputs at one end are transmitted to the peer, which then reflects those states on the appropriate
I/O pins if they have been configured as outputs.
It is recommended that the value of S Reg 610 at one end be the complement of the other end. That way,
inputs at one end are mirrored at the other end and vice versa.
In addition S Reg 506 must be set to zero, which disables echoes.
Note: Due to inherent latency of Bluetooth transmission, expect the change of state to be
delayed. This value is typically 100 ms and can be much more if the quality of the link is
bad which results in many retries.
It is assumed that an audio channel is not active at any time.
6.10.6 Append Bluetooth Address to Friendly name
If S Reg 593 is set to one, then the last six hex digits of the Bluetooth address are automatically
appended to the friendly name. This allows multiple devices with the same name in a neighbourhood to
be differentiated.

8. FTP CLIENT PROFILE COMMANDS
The FTP profile provides a capability allowing a host to act as an ‘ftp client’ to a peer device providing an
‘ftp server’ profile as shown in the diagram below.
Figure 2: FTP client and server
An FTP client capability implies the ability to send and receive files and also to manipulate file objects in
the remote device. The Bluetooth FTP server profile specification describes the profile as one built on
Obex Exchange (OBEX) which is in turn built on SPP.
The FTP implementation allows a host attached to the module to send and receive files and in addition to
manipulate files and folders.
The format used for describing this protocol is a series of message sequence charts with accompanying
notes as appropriate, which unambiguously convey how a host and the module shall interact to perform
the task.
8.1
Generic Notes and Guidance
In the message sequence charts the following abbreviations apply:









 shall mean a string delimited by the “ character. For example, “hello.txt”.
 shall mean a string delimited by the “ character.
nnn shall be a decimal number with at least one digit.
The backspace character is not supported.
All FTP commands are case sensitive.
FTP commands shall not exceed 32 characters in total.
While an FTP session is open, the host shall not deassert the modules UART_CTS line
and conversely the host MUST always be ready to accept data.
When Unicode data is transmitted, it shall be assumed that the most significant byte is
transmitted first.
If an FTP command is expecting a Unicode string as a parameter and the host has an
ASCII string, the string shall be expanded with a 0 byte in the most significant position.

8.2
FTP related AT Commands
8.2.1 AT+FTP
This command is used to establish a connection to an FTP server profile in a peer device
with Bluetooth address .
When a connection is successfully established, the host assumes that the current
folder is the root folder. This root folder is always relative to the host. It is not necessarily the absolute root
folder of the host machine.
8.2.2 AT+OFT
This command is used to establish a connection to an FTP server profile in a peer device with Bluetooth
address  and functions similarly to AT+FTP, but instead of the response being “\r\nNNN
FTP\r\n” it is “\r\nNNN OBX\r\n”, where NNN is a decimal number.
This capability of choosing the response type is to allow a host to cater generically a connection which is
either FTP or ObexPush.
8.2.3 ATSn=m
The following values of n are relevant to FTP operation: 582. A description of these values is given on
page 18 TBC.
8.3
FTP related Subcommands
This section describes FTP-related subcommands that the host can use to control the FTP session.
8.3.1 PUT  (Send file)
This FTP subcommand is used to send a file to the FTP server.
The length of  shall not exceed 24 characters.
The optional  value is inserted into the OBEX length header field. This is optional for FTP.
There is some ambiguity as to how the first OBEX PUT packet is formed with respect to the ‘Body’ header.
The OBEX specification does not prohibit the first ‘Body’ header to be empty; neither does it say that it
must not be empty. If the first body is not empty when sending a file to a Nokia 6820 phone then it seems
to confuse it. Because of this, Laird sends out an empty ‘Body’ header by default which is also what the
Windows PC based Widcomm Bluetooth stack sends.
To cater for future devices which require the first ‘Body’ header to be non-empty, a new
S Register 582 has been added to allow a host to have control over how the first body header is
constructed.
The new S register 582 takes values in the range 0 to 1. The default value is 0 which
implies that the first ‘Body’ header in the PUT OBEX packet is empty. A value of 1 forces that ‘Body’
header to have one byte of data – and in this case, when the module prompts the host for a length value
it shall respond accordingly.
Laird hopes that the default value of zero suffices for all occasions, but provides the control to modify the
packet as required.

8.3.2 PUT –nnn(Send file)
This FTP subcommand is used to send a file to the FTP server where the filename is in UNICODE text
and the filename is –nnn bytes long.
The optional  value is inserted into the OBEX length header field. This is optional for FTP.
See comment above TBC with regards to S Reg 582.
8.3.3 GET (Retrieve a file)
This FTP subcommand is used to retrieve a file from the FTP server.
The length of  shall not exceed 24 characters.
8.3.4 GET -nnn(Retrieve a file)
This FTP subcommand is used to retrieve a file from the FTP server where the filename is in UNICODE
and the filename is –nnn bytes long.
8.3.5 DIR(Get folder listing)
This FTP subcommand is used to retrieve the folder listing.
The Bluetooth FTP specification requires a server to transmit a folder listing as a properly formed XML
document. In a properly formed document, the character ‘&’ is supposed to be escaped into a five
character string &. Testing shows that the Widcomm Bluetooth stack and the Microsoft Windows CE
Bluetooth stack do not comply with that requirement; they send the ‘&’ unescaped.
This means that if a folder contains filenames with ‘&’ characters, this results in a failed
parsing of the XML document and this command fails with the response “090 FTP”.
In this circumstance, the only way for the host to extract the folder listing from the server
is to request the folder listing in raw XML form. This is expedited using the DIR -RAW(Get folder listing,
XML document) command.
8.3.6 DIR -RAW(Get folder listing, XML document)
This FTP subcommand is used to retrieve the folder listing. In this variant, the OBEX response packet,
which is in ASCII XML format, is sent to the host verbatim.
WARNING: The Widcomm stack seems to append two null characters at the end of the XML document.
This means extra care if the host stores data as null terminated strings, because the final
“200 FTP” prompt appears corrupted when it is not.
8.3.7 MD (Create a folder)
This FTP subcommand is used to create a subfolder. The length of  shall not exceed 24
characters.
8.3.8 MD -nnn(Create a folder)
This FTP subcommand is used to create a subfolder which is specified in Unicode.

8.3.12 CD ..(Change folder to parent)
This FTP subcommand is used to navigate to the parent folder.
8.3.13 RD (Delete a folder)
This FTP subcommand is used to delete the folder specified. Some FTP servers do not allow non-empty
folders to be deleted. In that case, an appropriate error response shall be returned to the host. The length
of  shall not exceed 24 characters.
8.3.14 RD -nnn(Delete a folder)
This FTP subcommand is used to delete the folder specified where the foldername is specified in Unicode.
8.3.15 DEL (Delete a file)
This FTP subcommand is used to delete the file specified.
8.3.16 DEL -nnn(Delete a file)
This FTP subcommand is used to delete the file specified where the filename is specified in Unicode.
8.3.17 ABORT(Abort current ftp command)
This FTP subcommand is used to abort a file transfer where appropriate. To abort a PUT session, send 0
when the module prompts for a length value.
8.3.18 QUIT (Terminate the FTP session)
This FTP subcommand is used to terminate the FTP session and also results in the Bluetooth connection
being terminated.
8.3.19 MAX(Max outgoing obex packet size)
This FTP subcommand is used to get the maximum OBEX packet size tolerated by server and can be
used by the host to optimize the data throughput.

This FTP response is used during a GET file operation. See appropriate message sequence charts for
more details. See Table 8-1 for ‘nnn’ values.
8.5
FTP line multiplexing commands
When transferring a file, the single serial interface between the host and the module is used to send and
receive data and commands. In other words, a scheme is required to unambiguously determine when a
byte on the line corresponds to a command or data belonging to a file.
The module uses negotiated multiplexing to achieve this and commands are used to toggle the line
between command and data mode.
This scheme is symmetrical and the commands for toggling the state of the line are relevant for both
direction. The only difference being that the terminator is  in the host to module direction and in
the reverse direction.
The commands are described in the following sub sections.
8.5.1 #
This command is used to ask the other end how many bytes of a filename or foldername it will send next.
8.5.2 >
This command is used to inform the other end that it is safe to send the number of bytes belonging to a
filename or foldername as indicated in the most recent # command.
8.5.3 !
This command is used to ask the module/host how many bytes of data it will send next. If the module/host
sends a length value that is too large to handle, it can be rejected by sending the ! command again. This
is because accepting a value implies this end should send a ? prompt to trigger the data phase (See
Section 8.5.4).
8.5.4 ?
This command is used to inform the other end that it is safe to send the number of bytes belonging to
‘data’ phase indicated in the most recent ! command.
8.6
Message Sequence Charts
In the following sections, the color scheme uses RED text as commands from a host to the module and
BLUE text as responses and prompts from the module to the host. Command/responses shown in
BLACK are associated with non-FTP related states.
Apart from FTP connection and disconnection scenarios, to avoid repetition, all message sequence
charts assume that the module is in a FTP-connected state. It also assumes that where “nnn FTP” occurs,
it can be read as “nnn OBX” if the command AT+OFT was used to initiate the command.

Note: The host may get more file/folder names after submitting an ABORT request because the
device could have received a folder data OBEX packet at the same time but slightly earlier
so it may have started processing it.
Hence the host must look out for a “200 FTP” to be sure that the DIR operation has terminated.
Some ftp servers (like widcomm stack) will return a 500 response code.

9. OBEX PROFILE COMMANDS
This section describes the OBEX implementation on BTM430/431 which allows performing the role of
‘Obex Push Client’ as illustrated in the diagram below.
Figure 24: OBEX Push client and server
The Obex Push profile implementation provides the capability to a host to act as an ‘Obex Push client’ to
a peer device providing an ‘obex push server’ profile.
An Obex Push client capability implies the ability to send and optionally receive a default file. The
Bluetooth Obex Push server profile specification describes the profile as one built on Obex Exchange
(OBEX) which is in turn built on SPP.
The Object Push Profile [3] describes the profile as having the three following features:



Object Push – Mandatory
Business Card Pull – Optional
Business Card Exchange – Optional
This implementation only offers the Mandatory Object Push feature.
The implementation on BTM430/431 allows a host attached to the module to send and receive files and
to manipulate files and folders.
The format used in this document for describing this protocol is a series of message sequence charts with
accompanying notes as appropriate, which unambiguously convey how a host and the module shall
interact to perform the task.
9.1
Generic Notes and Guidance
In the message sequence charts the following abbreviations apply:






 shall mean a two character sequence made up of the ASCII characters 0x0D (carriage return)
and 0x0A (line feed).
 shall mean a one character sequence made up of the ASCII character 0x0D.
 shall mean a one character sequence made up of the ASCII character 0x0A.
 shall mean a 12 digit string consisting of only hexadecimal digits 0-9, A-F, and a-f.
 shall mean a string delimited by the “ character. For example, “hello.txt”.
 shall mean a string delimited by the “ character.

9.2
nnn shall be a decimal number with at least one digit.
The backspace character is not supported.
All OBEX commands are case sensitive.
OBEX Commands shall not exceed 32 characters in total.
While an OBEX session is open, the host shall not deassert the modules UART_CTS line and
conversely the host MUST always be ready to accept data.
When Unicode data is transmitted, it shall be assumed that the most significant byte is transmitted
first.
If an OBEX command is expecting a Unicode string as a parameter and the host has an ASCII
string, the string shall be expanded with a 0 byte in the most significant position.
OBEX Push related AT Commands
9.2.1 AT+OPS
This command is used to establish a connection to an Obex Push server profile in a
peer device with Bluetooth address .
9.2.2 ATSn=m
The following values of n are relevant to OBEX operation: 582. A description of these
values is given on page 18 TBC.
9.3
OBEX Push related Subcommands
This section describes Obex Push-related subcommands that the host can use to control the OBEX Push
session.
9.3.1 PUT  length(Send file)
This OBEX subcommand is used to send a file to the obex server.
The length of  shall not exceed 24 characters.
The length value is inserted into the OBEX length header field.
There is some ambiguity as to how the first obex PUT packet is formed with respect to
the ‘Body’header. The OBEX specification does not prohibit the first ‘Body’ header to be empty, neither
does it say that it must NOT be empty. If the first body is NOT empty when sending a file to a Nokia6820
phone then it seems to confuse it. Hence Laird sends out an empty ‘Body’ header by default as does the
Windows PC based Widcomm Bluetoothstack.
To cater for future devices which NEED the first ‘Body’ header to be non-empty, a new S Register582 has
been added to allow a host to have control over how the first body header is constructed.
The new S register 582 takes values in the range 0 to 1. The default value is 0 which implies that the first
‘Body’ header in the PUT obex packet is empty. A value of 1 forces that ‘Body’ header to have one byte of
data – and in this case when the module prompts the host for a length value it shall respond accordingly.
Hopefully the default value of zero suffices for all occasions but, in case it does not, we provide the
control to modify the packet as required.

9.3.2 PUT –nnnlength(Send file)
This OBEX subcommand is used to send a file to the OBEX push server where the filename is in
UNICODE text and the filename is –nnn bytes long.
The length value is inserted into the OBEX length header field.
See comment above with regards to S Reg 582 TBC.
9.3.3 ABORT(Abort current OBEX command)
This OBEX subcommand is used to abort a file transfer where appropriate.
To abort a PUT session, please send 0 when the module prompts for a length value.
9.3.4 QUIT ( Terminate the OBEX Push session)
This OBEX subcommand is used to terminate the OBEX push session and also results in the Bluetooth
connection being terminated.
9.3.5 MAX(Max outgoing OBEX packet size)
This OBEX subcommand is used to get the maximum obex packet size tolerated by server and can be
used by the host to optimize the data throughput.
9.3.6 WHO(Identify current profile)
This OBEX subcommand is used to identify the current profile. 0 means Obex Push and 1 means FTP.
9.4
OBEX Push Related Subresponses
All Obex Push-related sub responses sent from the module to the host are 11 characters long in the
following format:
nnn AAA.
The characters nnn shall be decimal digits ‘0’ to ‘9’, then there is a space character and finally a 3
character word followed by .
The  envelope plus the fixed length hopefully makes the parsing task in the host much simpler.
Values for ‘nnn’ are as specified for HTTP status codes and reproduced from the OBEX specification as
indicated in Table 9-1.

This OBEX response is used to convey the outcome of a subcommand to the host where ‘nnn’ is a fixed
three digit decimal number as defined in the irDA specification and map to HTTP status codes.
For example, a value of n=200 implies successful operation, any other value usually conveys an error as
described in the irDA specification (except the range 050 to 099 inclusive and 250 to 299 inclusive).
Note: When a Bluetooth OBEX session is established, we will be specifying v1.0 in
the header packets by default.
9.5
OBEX Push Line Multiplexing Commands
When transferring an object, the single serial interface between the host and the module is used to send
and receive data and commands. This means a scheme is required to unambiguously determine when a
byte on the line corresponds to a command or data belonging to a file.
The module uses negotiated multiplexing to achieve this, and commands are used to toggle the line
between command and data mode.
This scheme is symmetrical and the commands for toggling the state of the line are relevant for both
direction. The only difference being that the terminator is  in the host to module direction and  in
the reverse direction.
The commands are described in the following sub sections.
9.5.1 #
This command is used to ask the other end how many bytes of a filename or object it will send next.
9.5.2 >
This command is used to inform the other end that it is safe to send the number of bytes belonging to a
filename or object as indicated in the most recent # command.

9.5.3 !
This command is used to ask the module/host how many bytes of data it will send next.
If the module/host sends a length value that is too large to hanlde, then it can be rejected by resending
the !command. This is because accepting a value implies this end should send a ? prompt to trigger the
data phase (see Section 9.5.4).
9.5.4 ?
This command is used to inform the other end that it is safe to send the number of bytes
belonging to ‘data’ phase indicated in the most recent ! command.

Message Sequence Charts
The color scheme uses RED text as commands from a host to the module and BLUE text as responses
and prompts from the module to the host. Command/responses shown in BLACK are associated with
non-obex related states.
Apart from OBEX connection and disconnection scenarios, to avoid repetition, all message sequence

Note: The OEM is free to choose another vendor’s antenna of like type and equal or lesser gain
as an antenna appearing in the table and still maintain compliance. Reference FCC Part
15.204(c)(4) for further information on this topic. To reduce potential radio interference to
other users, the antenna type and gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropic
radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
11.1 Power Exposure Information
In general, there are two agency classifications for RF radiation exposure in wireless applications;
portable and mobile.
Mobile – A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in such a way that a
separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating
structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. The BT730 is fully modular approved for mobile
and fixed applications. Reference FCC Part 2.1091 for further details on mobile devices.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Portable – Portable is a classification of equipment where the user, in general, will be within 20 cm of the
transmitting antenna. Portable equipment is further broken down into two classes; within 2.5 cm of human
contact and beyond 2.5 cm. The BT730 does not hold a portable approval classification due to its peak
output power and modular approval restrictions. Further RF evaluation is required by customers who want
to use the BT730 in portable applications. Contact a qualified test house or a Laird Technologies
