Introduction Brainboxes BL-521 RS232 Bluetooth Adapter is a fully embedded, stand-alone Bluetooth solution, which will Bluetooth enable any device with an RS232 port. BL-521 does not require any host Bluetooth software. BL-521, when used in combination with another Bluetooth product, (e.g. Brainboxes USB adapter connected to a PC) replaces a cable freeing the device from the limits imposed by the cable specification. The connection uses Bluetooth security and encryption to ensure that sensitive data is secure. It is user configurable to baud rates between 244 and 1,382,400 baud, with no, odd, or even parity, and with 1 or 2 stop bits. Its default factory settings are: 115,200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. This quick start guide shows you how to get started with the BL-521 in the shortest possible time. For documentation on the full set of configuration features please refer to the full product manual. 2. Changing Settings 2.1. Options at a glance - View/Set local COM port settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) * - View/Set Discoverability, Security mode, encryption and PIN number - View/Set Pairing options (including pairing to another BL-521) - View/Set Client/Server configuration (Client connects to Server – important if “pairing” 2 BL-521’s) - View/Set Local Device Name and Device Class - View current settings - Disable/enable configuration menu - Permanently update “default” settings 2.2. Accessing the configuration menus. Note: If the BL-521 is connected to another Bluetooth device the configuration menu is not be available. First, connect BL-521 to an available serial port on your computer. In this example, we use COM1. You will need the DTE gender changer from the supplied cable for this to work when connected to a PC. Ensure the power adapter is connected and switched on (the LED’s on the BL-521 should come on). The example given below uses HyperTerminal, a terminal application that ships with Windows. If you are using a different operating system, you will need a similar “terminal” or “tty” type application (e.g. minicom), which talks directly to a serial port. In Windows open HyperTerminal by clicking “Start\All Programs\Accessories\Communications\HyperTerminal”. Some versions of Windows have a slightly differen…

How the hopping sequence is generated.(psuedorandomly) The channel is represented by a pseudo-random hopping sequence hopping through the 79 or 23 RF channels. The hopping sequence is unique for the piconet and is determined by the Bluetooth device address of the master; the phase in the hopping sequence is determined by the Bluetooth clock of the master. The channel is divided into time slots where each slot corresponds to a RF hop frequency. Consecutive hops correspond to different RF hop frequencies. The nominal hop rate is 1600 hops/s. All Bluetooth units participating in the piconet are time- and hop-synchronized to the channel. 3. Hopping sequence channels The relevant hopset table is given below: Geography Regulatory Range RF Channels USA, Europe and most other countries 2.400-2.4835 GHz f=2402+k MHz, k=0,...,78 4. How the hopping channels are used. Frequency hopping systems operating in the 2400-2483.5 MHz shall use an average time of occupancy on any frequency not greater than 0.4 seconds within a 30 second period. This means that for the product referred to, the hopping channels are used equally on average. How the associated receiver has the ability to shift frequencies. The synthesizer changes frequency between receive slot and transmit slot, but always returns to the same receive frequency. Thus the product referred to operates so that the receiver shifts frequencies in synchornisation with the transmitted signals Input bandwidths match the hopping channel bandwidths The input bandwidths of the system receiver match the hopping channel bandwidths of their corresponding .transmitter.
