Structure Antenna 4.1 External Form WCS-232 can get the power from USB cable connected to the USB port on the PC. When both WCS-232 is powered up, they will be connected using Bluetooth. This is when you can start using the serial port. 6.2 Environment Setting Since WCS-232 is connected to the serial port, serial related settings (baud rate, data bit, parity bit, stop bit, and flow control) and RF related configurations (name of the device, operation mode, target address) are required to be set. Regarding RF connection settings, if WCS-232 is not trying to connect to other WCS-232 but Bluetooth device from other companies or when trying to reset the settings to the factory default, it is required. Proceed with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package installation. After WCS-232 Setup Utility installation is complete, click WCS-232 v5.0 Setup Utility v5 from the Start button → SystemBase → WCS-232. 6.4 Remove WCS-232 Setup Utility Click WCS-232 Uninstall from Start button → SystemBase → WCS-232 6.3 WCS-232 Setup Utility Installation Run WCS-232 Setup Utility.

Operation Environment Configuration 7.1 How to configure Dedicated WCS-232 v5.0 configuration utility can be used to modify communication speed, parity, stop bit, device name, and operation mode. ■ Retrieve settings ① Connect WCS-232 to COM port and supply power to the unit. ② Set switch in WCS-232 to Setup Mode. ③ Run WCS-232 v5.0 Setup Utility ④F rom the utility, click Connection then COM Port at the top of the menu to select the port to connect. User’s Manual WCS-232 v5.0 3. W hen the “File Load” button is clicked, following dialog box will appear. ■ Pairing Role Select Master/Slave mode ■ Bluetooth Address Current Bluetooth address can be checked. The target Bluetooth address can be checked and set. 4. When you click on the “Firmware Upgrade” button, it will upload the firmware and show the progress from the bar. ■ Pin Number When connecting to the Bluetooth device, this pin is required. Up to ASCII 16 characters can be set for a pin number. ⑤W hen successfully completed, “Read from flash is success” message will appear. ■ Connection Mode WCS-232 v5.0 supports “1:1 connection” and “connection waiting” modes. In 1:1 connection mode, connection is established when the address of the Bluetooth device is entered manually. In connection waiting mode, When a target device is not specified, it will look for new devices automatically. 5. After uploading the firmware is completed, the following message will appear. 8. Firmware Upload 1. WCS-232 v5.0 unit and the DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) file is required to upload a firmware. 2. Select F/W upgrade tab. 7.2 Operation Setting ■ Serial Port Set serial communication configuration for SPP (Serial Port Profile). 10 1-2 Check the pin wiring •D ata transmit/receiving devices are separated to DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device and DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device. Generally, a terminal such as a PC is a DTE device and a data relay system such as a modem is a DCE device. According to RS-232 standard, when DTE device is required to connect to a DCE device, two devices are connected directly or by 1:1 cable. In other words, signal lines such as TX and RX or signal control line should not be crossed but connected directly. However, when two same kind of devices, such as DTE and DTE, or DCE and DCE devices needs to be connected, cross cable (often called the null modem cable) is used. This cable is used to connect TX with RX signal lines and cross connect other signal control lines. WCS-232 v5.0 is a DCE device required to be connected to a PC directly. Therefore, if it needs to be connected to a DTE device, it can be connected to a DTE device directly or use a 1:1 cable. However, if it needs to be connected to a DCE device or a modem, a cross cable is required to be used. 2-1 Hardware control •W CS-232 v5.0 sends a data received from the host to the 11 13 target Bluetooth device, but when the communication environment is not good, resending packets will be repeated resulting a delay in communication. When a hardware flow control is not used, internal buffer in WCS-232 v5.0 may receive more data than it can handle, causing an overflow. Therefore when the wireless environment is not good, it is recommended to use the hardware flow control. 3. Delay in communication Appendix : Troubleshooting 1. Things to check when communication is not established. ■ Save settings ① Click Apply button to save the settings in the device memory. ② A fter it is saved, “Write to flash is success” message will appear. ③ Click on the OK button to save the settings in the device memory and close the windows. WCS-232 v5.0 2. Data loss or dysfunction ■ Device Name A device name can be given here with up to 16 ASCII characters. ■ Connection Timeout Set a given period of time until the Bluetooth device searches and connects. User’s Manual 1-1 COM port setting • WCS-232 v5.0 supports 8 data bits only. When the host supports 7 data bits and even or odd parity, WCS-232 v5.0 can be set to 8 data bits, no parity (factory default state). However, it cannot be applied to a device such as 7 bit USB dongle. • Check whether both WCS-232 devices are set to the same parity and stop bit. WCS-232 supports v5.0 no, even and odd parity and 1 or 2 stop bits. • RTS (Request To Send) and CTS (Clear To Send) signal from RS-232 standard are used for data transmit/ receiving (Hardware Flow Control or Hardware Handshaking) control purpose. • WCS-232 v5.0 does not support the break signal from RS-232, thus it cannot be used for the device which requires such feature. 12 3-1 Delay in converting to wireless signal •W hen WCS-232 v5.0 converts a data from the host to wireless signal, it takes about 30 msec. This delay may be increased due to the wireless connection environment. Additionally, when WCS232 v5.0 receives a data it converts to the wireless signal immediately. Therefore, sequencing data can be divided and transmitted. To prevent this, InterCharacter Timeout feature is provided which is when no data is received from the serial port, transmission begins. 3-2 Wireless Environment •T he Bluetooth uses 79 channels to transmit a data to avoid interferences. However, when there are numbers of Bluetooth devices in a small area, trying to send a large amount of data, data loss or error may occur. WCS-232 v5.0 can use 1.2 AFH feature in Bluetooth to avoid Wi-Fi interference, but depending on the distance or the number of the devices, it may have less effect in such environment. 14 FCC Statement THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.
