RN-BT-DATA-UG
You need a terminal emulator to complete the setup.
Note:
Use either the TeraTerm (Windows OS) or CoolTerm (Mac OS-X) terminal emulator program.
1.3.1 Configuring the Module over the UART Port
Connect the module to your computer. You can connect using the RS-232 DB9 port or via a USB cable. For example, if you are using the RN-41-EK evaluation board, con- nect it to your computer using a USB cable. With the Bluetooth module connected and powered on, run a terminal emulator and open the COM port to which the cable is connected. The terminal emulator’s commu- nication settings should be the default serial port settings: • Baud rate 115,200 kbps • 8 bits • No parity • 1 stop bit • Hardware flow control enabled
Note:
You can use local configuration at any time when the module does NOT have a Bluetooth connection, as well as under certain conditions. If the module is in configuration mode and a connection occurs, the module exits configuration mode and data passes back and forth from the remote mod- ule. Once a connection is made, you can only enter command mode if the boot-up config- uration timer has not expired (60 seconds). To remain in configuration mode, set the configuration timer to 255. See “Configuration Timer Settings” on page 44 for more information.
Note:
If the module is in Auto-Connect Master Mode, you cannot enter command mode when connected over Bluetooth. See “Operating Modes” on page 10 for more information on the various operating modes. Refer to “Enter Command Mode” on page 8” for information on entering command mode from a terminal emulator.
1.3.2 Remote Configuration Using Bluetooth
It is often useful to configure the module remotely over a Bluetooth connection. Before performing remote configuration using Bluetooth, first pair the Bluetooth module with your computer. For PCs with Bluetooth capability and running Windows, click
Blue- tooth devices
in the system tray at the bottom right of your computer screen. Select
Add a Bluetooth device
and follow the on-screen instructions. For Mac OS-X, click the Bluetooth icon, select
Set up Bluetooth device
, and follow the on-screen instruc- tions. Once a connection is made, you can only enter command mode if the boot-up config- uration timer has not expired (60 seconds). To remain in configuration mode, set the configuration timer to 255. See “Configuration Timer Settings” on page 44 for more information. www.rovingnetworks.com Version 1.0r 3/26/13 page 7 Advanced Information Document Outline Chapter 1.
