Modifying Configuration Parameters
(Optional)

You can use a terminal emulator application, such as
HyperTerminal to enter command mode and modify the RS-232
Bluetooth adapter’s configuration parameters. Command mode
can be useful if you are:

• creating a host-initiated Bluetooth connection.

• debugging or programming an application.

Note: You can only enter command mode if the
RS-232 Bluetooth adapter is not connected to a
Bluetooth scanner. If the adapter is in command
mode and a Bluetooth connection is made, the
adapter automatically exits command mode.

For more information about modifying configuration
parameters, visit the Intermec support services knowledge base
(Knowledge Central) at intermec.custhelp.com.
