Cordless Serial Adapter

With Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

RS-232 Serial Cable Replacement

Socket's Cordless Serial Adapter with Bluetooth Wireless Technology eliminates
your conventional RS-232 serial cable, providing an easy-to-use, invisible
connection. This tiny adapter allows any device with a standard 9-pin serial port
to communicate wirelessly. It will communicate with another Cordlss Serial

Adapter or any Bluetooth enabled device such as a
laptop computer, PDA or mobile phone. Take advantage
of Personal Area Networking easily and quickly.

You don't need to install any drivers on the host device
— just plug into the 9-pin serial port on your industrial
equipment and wirelessly download the information
you need to any Bluetooth enabled mobile computer
(i.e., notebook, Pocket PC, Palm or Mac OS device).
Reduce costs by decreasing cycle times for equipment
maintenance and servicing through easier access to
serial ports in dicult or dangerous-to-access areas. Do
you have cabled connections you would like to replace
with a cordless solution? Attach a Cordless Serial

Adapter on each side and presto — your bulky cables are gone.

Included in the package is the Socket Cordless Serial Adapter Conguration
Utility, an easy-to-use Windows application
which lets you to reprogram many of the
default settings on your Cordless Serial
Adapter. You can custom congure settings to
match your individual needs. The utility runs
under Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 or XP*. Socket
also includes a 9-pin female/female null modem
connector.

You can also reprogram your Cordless Serial
Adapter manually through commands via a
terminal device. Socket's Command Set documentation provides even more
extensive options for custom congurations.

The Cordless Serial Adapter communicates over the Bluetooth Serial Port Prole.
The adapter can be powered from the included AC power plug or from the host
device over pin 9 on the Cordless Serial Adapter.
