1.Introduction
1.1. General Description
The Bluetooth serial port adaptor is a Bluetooth* adaptor for use with a serial interface and can be connected to
any piece of equipment displaying this interface.
The adaptor is equipped with a high-performance rechargeable battery, so an external power source is not
required. This makes the adaptor particularly suitable in mobile applications.
No driver installation is required and the adaptor functions fully independently of the operating system platform in
use.
A Bluetooth connection between two devices is always in the form of a Master-Slave connection, i.e. one device
always initiates the connection. The new Bluetooth serial port adaptor can be operated in both Master and in
Slave mode, i.e. the Bluetooth serial port adaptor can also establish a connection with another Bluetooth device
and is not restricted to waiting for a connection request from an external piece of equipment.
The only condition is that the partner device supports the Bluetooth serial port profile.
The Bluetooth serial port adaptor is operational in slave mode immediately upon switch-on. An easy-to-use
configuration programme is supplied with the adaptor with which the user can configure the connection
parameters of the Bluetooth serial port adaptor, such as the baud rate.
For systems which do not operate under the Windows operating system, it is also possible to configure the
adaptor using AT commands.
The device is fitted with a high-power LI rechargeable battery. In mobile applications, where power consumption
and operating time are of central importance, an automatic power management function is available, which
switches the device into energy saving mode ('SNIFF' mode). This results in a considerable reduction in power
consumption by the partner device.
A further important feature in this context is that the adaptor really becomes operative when a signal is received at
the serial interface. This means that the adaptor is only in active mode once the device to which the Bluetooth
serial port adaptor is connected has been switched on.
Our experience has shown that a multitude of requirements are placed on Bluetooth solutions. For this reason,
the Bluetooth serial port adaptor has been conceived to enable its use for a large number of solutions.
If your individual application can not be implemented using the standard functions described in this handbook,
please be sure to read the section 5 – Special Solutions.
The Bluetooth serial port adaptor is a completely new product and displays a whole host of exciting functions. So
as to avoid problems, we highly recommend that you read the instructions in this handbook before putting the
adaptor into operation for the first time.

2.2. Switching on
The standard configuration of the LinTech Bluetooth* serial port adaptor is as follows:
Baud rate : 115200 Bit/s
Stop bit : 1
Parity : None
Data bits : 8
Bluetooth* PIN : 1234
Plug the adaptor into the serial interface of the device that the serial port adaptor it is to be operated with.
The Bluetooth serial port adaptor recognises whether or not signals are incoming via the serial interface, i.e.
whether the device is switched on or off.
If the device is switched on, the Bluetooth serial port adaptor changes into operating mode, LED 2 flashes rapidly
for approx. 3 seconds and then slowly green.
( For LED sequences, please sea the overview in section 6.)
If the device is switched off, the Bluetooth Adapter remains in Standby mode.
You can wake up the serial-interface of the device by typing the push-button of the serial-adaptor. You can
activate this function permanently by using AT command: AT+FRS.
Should the serial port adaptor not switch into operational mode although it is switched on, please charge the
battery. (See 2.3)
Please be sure to have the Bluetooth Adapter in use during charging.
2.3. Charging the battery
The Bluetooth serial port adaptor is equipped with a high-performance rechargeable battery, so an external power
source is not required. This makes the adaptor particularly suitable in mobile applications.
We recommend charging the batter before using the device for the first time.
Please notify: connect charger first with BT serial port adaptor and
afterwards with wall socket.
To avoid overcharging and faulty operation, always use the battery charger supplied and connect it to the
appropriate socket at the rear of the Bluetooth serial port adaptor (see Ill.1) .
The status of the charging process is indicated by LED1 on the upper surface of the Bluetooth Adapter (see Ill. 1)

2.4. Switching on for the first time
The Bluetooth serial port adaptor is equipped with a high-performance rechargeable battery, so an external power
source is not required. This makes the adaptor particularly suitable in mobile applications.
We recommend charging the batter before using the device for the first time (see section 2.3).
A Bluetooth connection between two devices is always in the form of a Master-Slave connection, i.e. one device
always initiates the connection. The new Bluetooth serial port adaptor can be operated in both Master and in
Slave mode, i.e. the Bluetooth serial port adaptor can also establish a connection with another Bluetooth device
and is not restricted to waiting for a connection request from an external piece of equipment.
The only condition is that the partner device supports the Bluetooth serial port profile (SPP).
When the Bluetooth* serial port adaptor is switched on for the first time, it is in Slave mode. You can then select
between two operating modes: Normal mode and Configuration mode.
In Normal mode a data connection is set up to the Bluetooth* Adapter; the Configuration mode is used to
configure the settings for the Bluetooth* Adapter either via the Bluetooth connection or the serial interface.
The standard configuration of the LinTech Bluetooth* serial port adaptor is as follows:
Baud rate : 115200 Bit/s
Stop bit : 1
Parity : None
Data bits : 8
Bluetooth* PIN : 1234
Before the configuration of the Bluetooth connection can be changed, the device must be switched to
configuration mode and a connection must exist to a Bluetooth device (for further information please see the
corresponding section of the manual).
If you want to create a connection from another Bluetooth device to the serial port adaptor without changing the
configuration, continue as outlined in the following sections.

2.5. The coupling process for setting up a Bluetooth data connection
To set up a Bluetooth* connection, you require a second Bluetooth* Master device that supports the Bluetooth*
Serial Port Profile. Please perform the coupling procedure as outlined in the following.
The first step is to initiate a device search using the Bluetooth* partner device (integrated Bluetooth* circuit, USB
dongle, PCMCIA card, or similar) in the Bluetooth environment.
Here you should find displayed 'LinTech SPA', indicating that the Bluetooth serial port adaptor has been found.

Once the coupling procedure has been completed, the Bluetooth serial port adaptor offers a serial service, by the
name of COM-HARDWARE, using which you can connect the serial interface of the Bluetooth serial port adaptor
with that of your equipment.
Illustration 4 Searching for device with the service-ID: COM-HARDWARE
2.6. Setting up a connection
For information on how to establish a connection using a service, please consult the instructions supplied with
your Bluetooth equipment.
In most cases, the Bluetooth environment provides you with virtual COM ports. The Bluetooth* Serial Port Profile
must be allotted to one of these COM ports. It is via this COM port that you communicate with the Bluetooth serial
port adaptor .
3. Configuration
The Bluetooth serial port adaptor can be configured either via an existing Bluetooth connection or via direct
connection to the serial interface of a PC.
In either case, it is first of all necessary to switch the Bluetooth serial port adaptor from normal mode to
configuration mode (see section 3.2.)

3.1. Standard settings
The standard configuration of the LinTech Bluetooth* serial port adaptor is as follows:
Baud rate : 115200 Bit/s
Stop bit : 1
Parity : None
Data bits : 8
Bluetooth* PIN : 1234
An easy to use programme is provided with which you can alter standard settings and also access other features
(such as activating SNIFF mode, connection properties, security settings etc.) via an existing Bluetooth*
connection or the serial interface of the adaptor (see BlueTool manual).
For all those applications for which no Windows application is available, it is possible to perform the configuration
by means of AT commands using any available terminal programme (section 3.6).
For configuration purposes, the LinTech serial port adaptor provides you with a special Bluetooth* service. In
other words, in additional to its normal operational mode, it is possible to use the Bluetooth adaptor for
configuration purposes and for changing from one operational mode into this configuration mode.
It is not necessary to remove the Bluetooth adaptor from the device with which you are operating it before
performing the configuration.
For information on how to switch between the two modes, please see the following section.
3.2. Changing between configuration mode and normal operation
Press the key on the rear side of the Bluetooth Adapter briefly ( see Ill. 1).
LED2 will then flash continuously for about two seconds, following which LED2 flashes rapidly in short, green
bursts for 3 seconds before changing to slow, short, red bursts.
When LED2 flashes in slow, short, red bursts, it means that the adaptor is currently in configuration
mode.
The serial Bluetooth service COM-CONFIG is now available.
If you press the key again for a short time, the Bluetooth adaptor will return to normal operation.
(LED2 again flashes continuously, after which LED2 flashes slowly in short green bursts).
When LED2 flashes slowly in short, green bursts, it means that the adaptor is currently in normal
operational mode.
The serial Bluetooth service COM-HARDWARE is now available.

3.3. Connecting to the configuration service
To be able to configure the Bluetooth serial port adaptor via Bluetooth, it is first necessary connect the Bluetooth
partner device ( Master) with the Bluetooth serial port adaptor connection service.
To do this, it is necessary to perform a service determination procedure in the Bluetooth manager of the Bluetooth
partner device. The Bluetooth serial port adaptor offers the service COM-CONFIG.
Connect up to this service.
For information on performing this step, please consult the instruction manual received with your Bluetooth
partner device.

3.4. Connecting to the serial interface of the adaptor – configuration using a physical serial interface
Once you have switched the Bluetooth serial port adaptor into configuration mode (section 3.2), plug the adaptor
into the serial interface of a personal computer.
3.5. Configuration using the LinTech BlueTool configuration programme
The LinTech BlueTool is an easy to use Windows configuration programme, with the aid of which you can perform
all the settings required for the Bluetooth serial port adaptor easily and clearly.
Please copy the programme from the disc supplied to a folder on your hard disc, and start the programme from
the hard disc.
* Bluetooth and the Bluetooth logos are trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc., U.S.A. and licensed to LinTech
GmbH, Berlin Germany.
11
Before using the BlueTool configuration programme, it is necessary that a Bluetooth connection exists to the
Bluetooth serial port adaptor which uses the configuration service of the Bluetooth serial port adaptor or a
physical connection to a serial interface on your PC.
For further information, please consult the BlueTool manual.
3.6. Configuration using AT commands
In addition to the conventional method of using the BlueTool Windows configuration programme for configuring
the Bluetooth serial port adaptor 's connection parameters, it is also possible to perform the settings using AT
commands.
This option is provided due to the fact that not all environments use Windows as an operating system. All that is
required on your serial port adaptor partner device is a terminal programme, e.g. Hyperterminal.
If you wish to configure the Bluetooth serial port adaptor via an existing Bluetooth connection, the Bluetooth
partner device must be connected to the configuration service of the Bluetooth serial port adaptor.
It is however also possible to configure the adaptor using AT commands, by connecting it directly to the serial
interface of a PC.
In either case, the Bluetooth serial port adaptor must be in configuration mode. For switching from normal mode
to configuration mode, please consult the appropriate section of the manual (3.2)
Start the Terminal programme.
Connect the Terminal programme to the Com port to which the COM-CONFIG service of the serial port adaptor is
connected (or to the COM port of the physical interface).
Select the following settings: baud rate 115200 Bit/s, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, 1 start bit and no parity.
Once the connection has been successfully established, the terminal programme window will display a list of
available AT commands.
Should this listing not be displayed, please enter <ATI2>“ followed by <CR> . This will effect a repeat display of
the available commands.
The respective commands are entered in the terminal window; no echo is produced when the characters are
inputted. All command inputs must be acknowledge by pressing <CR> .
All changes are implemented immediately and saved in the serial port adaptor.

4. MASTER and SLAVE operating modes
4.1. General explanation
A Bluetooth connection between two or several devices always constitutes a Master-Slave connection. The
Master device is always the one that initialises the connection, i.e. it is the device that initiates the device search,
locates Bluetooth equipment and initiates the coupling procedure.
The Bluetooth serial port adaptor is always in Slave mode immediately after switch-on, i.e. it is awaiting a request
from the partner device to establish a connection.
There are many cases, however, in which it is necessary for the serial port adaptor itself to establish a
connection, for instance, if the connection is interrupted for any reason. It is also generally more effective to
initiate a connection from a central recording instrument to the partner devices, when the former is used to control
the calibration of equipment or machines or for everyday data recording from such equipment.
The LinTech serial port adaptor can also be connected as a Master, which means that the Bluetooth serial port
adaptor is able to initiate a connection.
4.2 Setting up a connection from the adaptor as Master to a known partner device
This implies connection to a partner device with which the Bluetooth serial port adaptor has already been
connected:
The LinTech serial port adaptor has already been operational in slave mode with a Bluetooth partner device and
you now require that the serial port adaptor itself establishes the connection to this equipment.
All that you need to do is to change the Bluetooth serial port adaptor from Slave to Master mode, since in this
case the partner device is already known. For more information, see section 4.4. Changing between Master
and Slave modes ........
4.3. Setting up a connection as Master to an unknown partner device
The Bluetooth serial port adaptor can be programmed so that in future, it sets up a connection to an unknown,
user-selected Bluetooth partner device.
Conditions:
You must know the address of the Bluetooth partner device, with which you wish to establish the
connection.
The partner device must support the Serial Port Profile according to Bluetooth* Specifications 1.1.
In this case, you must first of all switch the Bluetooth serial port adaptor into configuration mode set up a
connection with the configuration service from any Bluetooth partner device and perform the settings for
the connection to the future Bluetooth partner device (see also sections 3.2 – 3.6 ).
Please note:
If the serial port adaptor is in Master mode, it will by default attempt to establish the connection using the PIN
1234.
* Bluetooth and the Bluetooth logos are trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc., U.S.A. and licensed to LinTech
GmbH, Berlin Germany.
13
If the future partner device requests a PIN for the connection, this can also be entered using the configuration
programme.
4.4. Changing between Master and Slave modes
Press the key at the rear of the Bluetooth
®
serial port adaptor to change easily between Master and Slave modes.
Press the key continuously for about 15 seconds. This is then followed by an LED sequence (red – green –
orange) lasting about 2 seconds. Now release the key.
THEN:
The serial port adaptor restarts and flashes red for approx. 3 seconds – the adaptor is now in Master mode and it
will attempt to create a connection to the partner device.
OR:
The serial port adaptor restarts and flashes green for approx. 3 seconds – the adaptor is now in slave mode and
will accept any incoming connections.
4.5. Notes regarding setting up connection as Master in the event that the partner device does not react
When the serial port adaptor is configured as the Master, it will automatically attempt to create a connection to the
configured or known partner device.
If this connection fails, there may be several reasons. If the partner device is not switched on, the serial port
adaptor changes to 'Master idle' mode.
The LED2 then lights up orange.
A new attempt at creating the connection can be initiated by pressing the key.
Note: The LinTech serial port adaptor can be configured to perform continual attempts at connecting to the
partner device. This setting is recommended when the serial port adaptor is required to re-establish a connection
which has broken down due to excessive distance.
To do this, you can use either the LinTech BlueTool or the respective AT command (AT+SCMC=1).
4.6. Setting up Master connection
To terminate an existing connection, simply press the key on the adaptor briefly.
5. Special functions
5.1 Active device search and coupling with other Bluetooth
The functionality of the Bluetooth serial port adaptor means that it can be used in variety of system environments
and projects.

In the previous sections of this handbook, it was described how the adaptor operates in standard mode as a
Slave with all Bluetooth partner devices that support the serial port profile and how the Bluetooth Adapter can be
configured to automatically set up a connection to other Bluetooth equipment, in the so called Master mode.
The condition in all cases for operation Master mode was that the partner device is known.
However, now there is a special function available, with which the Bluetooth serial port adaptor can also perform
an active device search for other Bluetooth devices and to set up a connection to these.
The advantage of this special function is that it is controlled by use of AT commands ( in a manner similar to
modem control ). This means that, unlike other standard available Bluetooth adaptors, the LinTech Bluetooth
serial port adaptor can be operated using equipment/PCs that run with a different operating system to Windows.
For instance, the LinTech serial port adaptor is able to initiate a device search, perform a coupling procedure and
connect to the device thus located.
All that you require on your PC or other equipment, to which the serial port adaptor serial port adaptor is
connected, is a terminal programme ( e.g. Hyperterminal ), with the aid of which you can control the device search
and connection setup, using AT commands.
This special function must first be activated in Slave – Configuration mode either via the AT command
interpreter or using the BlueTool (AT+MCON=1).
To do this, the serial port adaptor must be in Master mode ( see section 4.4: Changing between Master and Slave
operating modes).
The serial port adaptor must be connected to the physical serial interface of a PC and the terminal programme
must be opened via its COM-Port. The connection parameters (baud rate, stop bit, etc. ...) correspond to the
settings in the serial port adaptor.
The available commands can be read out using the command <AT12>
For descriptions of the various AT commands, please sea the AT Command List in the separate document.
5.2 Using two Bluetooth serial port adaptor to replace a cable connection
If you have two serial port adaptor s you can use them as a replacement for a cable connection.
5.2.1. Requirement
Configure your adaptors as described in section 3 – 'Configuration'.
Please note that the PIN of your device and that of the external device must be the same. The PIN and that
of the external device for the
Adapters must also be the same.
5.2.2 Coupling and setting up the connection
Both adaptors must be switched off and disconnected from any device.
Press the key on the first adaptor and plug the power supply into the corresponding socket of the adaptor.
LED 2 should now light up red to indicate the adaptor is now in cable replacement coupling mode. Now release
the key.
Repeat the procedure with the other adaptor.
When the LEDs of both adaptors have lit up in red, plug the two adaptors together.
If you have two adaptors with a plug or a socket, you will have to use a null modem cable.

GmbH, Berlin Germany.
15
The device IDs are now exchanged, which can take up to thirty seconds. Once this process is over, the Slave first
restarts, followed by the Master. The Master then attempts to set up an automatic connection to the Slave.
Once the connection has been successfully set up (LED2 flashes red and green alternately) disconnect the
adaptors from each other.
The connection parameters are stored and you can now use both adaptors.
