1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 5 of 38 Introduction 1. This document describes the protocol used to control and configure TDKs Bluetooth Serial Module. The protocol is similar to the industry standard Hayes AT protocol used in telephony modems due to the fact that both types of devices are connection oriented. Appropriate AT commands have been provided to make the module perform the two core actions of a Bluetooth device, which is make/break connections and Inquiry. Many other AT commands are also provided to perform ancillary functions, such as, pairing, trusted devices database management, S Register maintenance etc. Just like telephony modems, the serial module powers up into an unconnected state and will only respond via the serial interface. In this state the module will not even respond to Bluetooth Inquiries. Then, just like controlling a modem, the host can issue AT commands which map to various Bluetooth activities. The command set is extensive enough to allow a host to make connections which are authenticated and/or encrypted or have neither. The device has a serial interface which can be configuration for baudrates from 1200 up to 921600, and an RF communications end point. The latter has a concept of connected and unconnected modes and the former will have a concept of Command and Online mode. This leads to a 2x2 matrix of four states, as shown below. Command Mode Online Mode One combination, RF unconnected and Online Mode does not make sense and will be ignored. Navigation between these states is done using the AT commands which are described in detail in subsequent sections.

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 6 of 38 Date : 3 Feb 03 2. AT Command Set 2.1 Assumptions The CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) BC2 chipset in the TDK Modules is memory resource limited therefore it is NOT proposed that there be full implementation of the AT protocol as seen in modems. The claim made for this device is that it will have a protocol similar to an AT modem. In fact, the protocol is similar enough so that existing source code written for modems, can be used with very little modification for use with this serial module. Therefore the following assumptions are made:-

1 All commands will be terminated by the carriage return character 0x0D, which is represented by the string <cr> in descriptions below and cannot be changed. 2 All responses from the module will have carriage return and linefeed characters prepending and appending the response. These dual character sequences have the values 0x0D and 0x0A respectively and shall be represented by the string <cr,lf> and cannot be changed. 3 All Bluetooth addresses shall be represented by a fixed 12 digit hexadecimal string, case insensitive. insensitive. 4 All Bluetooth Device Class codes shall be represented by a fixed 6 digit hexadecimal string, case 5 All new Bluetooth specific commands shall be identified by the string +BTx, where x is generally a mnemonic of the intended functionality. 2.2 Commands This section describes all available AT commands. Many commands require mandatory parameters and some take optional parameters. These parameters are either integer values,strings,Bluetooth addresses or device classes. The following convention is used when describing the various AT commands

<bd_addr> A 12 character Bluetooth address consisting of ascii characters 0 to 9, A to F and a to f.

<devclass> A 6 character Bluetooth device class consisting of ascii characters 0 to 9, A to F and a to f. A positive integer value An integer value which could be positive or negative, which can be entered as a decimal value or in hexadecimal if preceded by the $ character. Eg the value 1234 can also be entered as

$4D2 A string delimited by double quotes. Eg Hello World. The character MUST be supplied as delimiters. n m

<string>

2.2.1 AT Response:

2.2.2 ATZ {Hardware Reset}

Forces the device through a hardware reset which means it will eventually come alive in the Command mode and Bluetooth Unconnected mode. This allows changes to the PS store to take effect. Allow for about 2 seconds for the device to start responding to AT commands again. The surest way of determining that the device is alive again, is to keep sending it AT<cr> until it responds with an OK response.

2.2.3 ATEn {Enable/Disble Echoes}

It affects S Register 506. Set n=0 to disable echoes and n=1 to enable. All other values will generate an error. Response:

2.2.4 AT&Fn {Set S Reg Defaults}

This command will only work when the device is in idle mode. Depending on the value of n it installs S Reg values appropriate for various power modes, ranging from minimum power consumption to maximum. Legal values of n are as per the following table. All other values of n will generate a syntax error response. n 0 (Default) Medium power consumption, UART baudrate unchanged, Left LED off, Right Led = DCD 1 2 3 4 5 Minimum power consumption, UART baudrate set to 9600, Both LEDs off Minimum power consumption, UART baudrate set to 38400, Both LEDs off Minimum power consumption, UART baudrate set to 115200, Both LEDs off Medium power consumption, UART baudrate set to 115200, Left LED off, Right Led = DCD Maximum power consumption, UART baudrate set to 115200, Left LED=DSR, Right Led = DCD Maximum power consumption, UART baudrate set to 460800, Left LED=DSR, Right Led = DCD Description

<cr,lf>OK<cr,lf>

<cr,lf>ERROR nn<cr,lf>

If n is not specified then a default value of 0 is assumed where the baudrate is NOT changed. Please refer to the Power Consumption chapter further on, for a more detailed discussion of power usage. The new values are NOT updated in nvram until the AT&W command is sent to the module Response:

Or Response:

2.2.4 AT&F* {Clear NonVolatile Storage}

This command will only work when the device is in idle mode. It installs values in S registers as per command AT&F4 and then all other user parameters in non-volatile storage is erased. This means that the trusted device database is cleared, and so are parameters related to the following commands:- AT+BTR, AT+BTN, AT+BTS. Response:

Or Response:

2.2.5 AT&W {Write S Regs to Non-Volatile Memory}

Writes current S Register values to non-volatile memory so that they are retained over a power cycle. This command only works if not in ONLINE_COMMAND mode. This is due to the fact that writing to non-volatile storage is not allowed while a Bluetooth connection is active. TDK Systems Europe Ltd 2003

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 9 of 38 2.2.7 ATSn=m {Set S Register}

There is a concept of registers which are used to store parameters, such as escape sequence character, inquiry delay time etc, as listed in detail below. The value part m can be entered as decimal or hexadecimal. A hexadecimal value is specified via a $

leading character. For example $1234 is a hex number. When S register values are changed, the changes are not stored in non-volatile storage UNTIL the AT&W command is used. Note that AT&W does not affect S registers 520 to 525, 1000 to 1010 as they are updated in non-volatile storage when the command is received. Register n 0 Comment Default Range

Referenced by the ATD. In units of seconds Enable/Disable echoes. The ATEn command also affects this. When set to 0, a connection can be dropped using ^^^ escape sequence only and the state of DSR line is ignored. When set to 1 a connection can be droped using EITHER the

^^^ escape sequence OR the DSR handshaking line. Finally when set to 2, a connection can only dropped using a deassertion of DSR. Mode 2 provides for the highest data transfer rate. Page Scan Interval in units millisec ( 10ms will give 11.25ms) Page Scan Window in units millisec ( 10ms will give 11.25ms) Inquiry Scan Interval in units of millisec ( 10ms will give 11.25ms) Inquiry Scan Window in units of millisec ( 10ms will give 11.25ms) Specify power up state. If set to 0 then AT+BTO is required to open the device for Bluetooth activity. When set to 1, it proceeds to a state as if AT+BTO was entered. When set to 2, it will scan for inquiries only, similar to issuing AT+BTQ. When set to 3, it will page for a connection but not be discoverable eg AT+BTG and finally when set to 4, it will be like AT+BTP. Note that by implication, a change to this can only be seen after a power cycle AND if AT&W is actioned prior to the power cycle.

If this number is set too high, then AT+BTI will return ERROR 27. For a particular firmware revision, determine the effective maximum value by trial and error. That is, set to a high value, send AT+BTI and if ERROR 27 is returned, then retry with a smaller value. This effective max value will remain unchanged for that particular firmware build. When S507>0, and in a connection, DSR can be used to change from online to command state by deasserting the DSR line for less than the time specified in this register. This value is rounded down to the nearest 100ms Change baudrate. The effect is immediate and in fact the OK will be sent at the new baudrate. Due to the integer arithmetic involved, the actual baudrate is different. To inspect the actual baudrate, do ATS521? ATS520? will return the baudrate to the nearest 100.

The effect is immediate and in fact the OK will be sent at the new baudrate. Due to the integer arithmetic involved, the actual baudrate is different. To inspect the actual baudrate, do ATS521?

If Sreg 525=1, then the max baudrate is limited to 115200 1 = CTS/RTS hardware handshaking enabled Number of StopBits Parity. 0=None, 1=Odd, 2=Even Apply multiplier of 8 to baudrate internally. This is set to 0 (disabled) by default for the serial module, and set to 1 (enabled) by default for the pc card variant. It is required in the pc card because the UART chip on the pc card is driven by a 14.7456MHZ crystal instead of 1.8432MHz. This means that when a host asks for a baudrate, in reality it gets a baudrate which is 8 times faster. If S Reg 520 > 115200 then this register cannot be set to 1. Reconnect delay when configured as master in pure-cable-replacement mode. This value is rounded down to the nearest 100ms If Set to 1 then on connection, remain in Command Mode. If non zero then on every connection, and SCO channel (audio) will be initiated. If value

=1 then HV1, if =2 then HV2 and finally if =3 then HV3 If set to 1 then left LED follows RI state, if set to 2 then it follows the state of DSR and if 0 then neither and GPIO5 is available as a user i/o. This register will not necessarily be effective immediately after changing the value. It must be saved to non-volatile store using AT&W and will operate as expected after an ATZ or a power cycle. If set to 1 then right LED follows DCD state, otherwise GPIO4 is available as user i/o. This register will not necessarily be effective immediately after changing the value. It must be saved to non-volatile store using AT&W and will operate as expected after an ATZ or a power cycle. Link Supervision Timeout.

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 13 of 38 Bluetooth Serial Module AT Command Set ERROR RESPONSE A Bluetooth inquiry process is such that for a single inquiry request a device could respond many times. To ensure that an address is sent to the host only once for a particular AT+BTI, an array of addresses is created at the start of each AT+BTI and is filled as responses come in. This array of addresses is stored in dynamic memory and as such if the memory allocation fails then the inquiry procedure is aborted and in that case an error response is sent to the host. To clarify, a single AT+BTI will never return the same Bluetooth address more than once, but as long as the responding device is active, all AT+BTI commands will always return it. Response:

2.2.42 AT+BTW<bd_addr> {Initiate pairing}

This initiates pairing with a device whose Bluetooth address is <bd_addr>. An OK response is sent and when the PIN is required, asynchronous indications will be sent to the host in the form PIN? <bd_addr>

where the address confirms the device with which the pairing is to be performed. To supply a PIN, use the AT+BTK command detailed next. For a successful pairing, the link key is stored in a volatile cache which is overwritten everytime a new pairing is initiated using this command. The link key can be stored in a non-volatile database within the device. The list of trusted devices is managed using commands AT+BTT?, AT+BTT and AT+BTD. The AT+BTT? command produces a list of trusted Bluetooth addresses (link key is NEVER displayed) and AT+BTT is used to store the cached link key. The command AT+BTD123456789012 is used to remove the specified device from the data base. The OK response is sent immediately on receipt of the AT+BTW command. On pairing completion, an unsolicited message will be sent to the host which will be in the form PAIR n <bd_addr>. See section 3.7 for more details. Response:

2.2.43 AT+BTK=<string> {Set Passkey}

This command is used to provide a passkey when PIN? 12345678 indications are received asynchronously. If a pairing is not in progress then the pin is written to non-volatile store for future use. Specifying an empty string deletes the key from the non-volatile store. The string length must be in the range 0 to 8, otherwise an error will be returned. Response:

2.2.44 AT+BTT {Add Trusted Device}

This command is used to store the cached link key in the non-volatile database. If the database is full it will respond with an ERROR. If the device is already in the database, then the key is replaced. If the link key cache is empty, that is, a pairing has not been performed since the device was powered, then the response will be an ERROR. Response:

Response:

2.2.50 AT+BTR<bd_addr> {Set Peer Address}

This command is used to store a peer address in non-volatile storage. A value of 000000000000 has the special meaning of invalid peer address. This command is used to set up a module in pure cable replacement mode. If S register 512 = 1 and the peer address is NOT 000000000000, then it will periodically (time specified via S register 505) attempt to connect to the peer address specified. If S register 512 = 3 or 4 then it will wait for an inbound connection from the peer address specified. If the peer address is not 000000000000, then it waits for a connection from the specified master, otherwise will connect to anyone. Response:

2.2.51 AT+BTAn {Control Audio Channel}

Once a Bluetooth connection is active, and assuming the peer device is a TDK Serial Module, this command is used to start/stop a SCO channel which will connect the PCM interfaces of the two peer devices. This means that if a codec is attached to the PCM pins, then 2 way audio can be established. The parameter is 0 to switch off the channel and it is 1 to switch it off. On receipt of the command, the following response immediately follows. Response:

<cr,lf>OK<cr,lf>

<cr,lf>AUDIO ON<cr,lf>

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 19 of 38 3. Unsolicited Responses The AT Protocol is a command/response type of protocol. This means that the TDK Serial Module will normally only respond to AT commands. Under special circumstances, unsolicited responses will be sent to the host. They are described in the following subsections. 3.1 RING This string is sent to the host when a remote device is initiating a serial port connection. The fully qualified string is in the form RING 012345678901 where 012345678901 is a 12 digit hex number which corresponds to the remote devices Bluetooth address. This response is sent to the host every 2 seconds until the host either accepts the connection using the ATA command or rejects it using the ATH command. 3.2 PIN?

This response is sent to the host during a pairing negotiation. The fully qualified string is PIN? 012345678901 where 012345678901 is the Bluetooth address of the peer device. In response, the host must supply a pin code which is entered using the AT+BTK command. If the peer address does not supply the address in the message exchange, then the address is specified as 000000000000 and the paring will proceed as normal. 3.3 AUDIO ON This response is sent to the host when a SCO channel has been established. 3.4 AUDIO OFF This response is sent to the host when an existing SCO channel has been closed. 3.5 AUDIO FAIL This response is sent to the host when a SCO channel setup fails. 3.6 ERROR 27 This response is sent to the host on power up if the firmware is unlicensed. 3.7 PAIR n <bd_addr>

This response is sent to the host on termination of a pairing process. If pairing was successful then n = 0, if a timeout occurred then n=1 and for all other unsuccessful outcomes the value will be 2. The parameter <bd_addr> is the address of the peer device if available. TDK Systems Europe Ltd 2003 Bluetooth Serial Module AT Command Set Date : 3 Feb 03 Issue No :

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 20 of 38 Incoming Connections 4. The serial module can be configured using the AT+BTP or AT+BTG command so that it will scan for incoming connections from other Bluetooth devices. When the lower layers detect an incoming call, a RING 123456789012 string is sent to the host every second. The command ATA is used to accept the connection and ATH to reject it. On connection, if the S0 Register is >=0 then confirmation to the host is in the form:-

Where A means authenticated connection and E means encryption has been enabled. When S0 register is -1, neither RING nor CONNECT is sent to the host and the connection is silently accepted.

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 21 of 38 5. Dropping Connections In a conventional telephony modem, a call is normally terminated by first sending a +++ character sequence enveloped by an escape sequence guard time (of the order of 100 to 1000 milliseconds) and then the ATH command. This device will provide a couple of ways of dropping a connection. One method will be similar to the above, but instead a ^^^ character sequence is used, this is to eliminate ambiguity when a data call is in progress via a mobile phone which was established using the mobile phones Bluetooth AT modem. The second method will involve the host dropping the DTR (DSR from the modules viewpoint) handshaking line. Being able to drop a connection using the escape sequence ^^^ has a severe penalty on data throughput, in fact, the data rate is of the order of 85kbps instead of about 200kbps. To cater for this performance hit, the devices connection drop capability is configurable to be in one of two modes. One mode allows for a connection to be dropped using either method, and the other mode allows for a connection drop using the DTR method only. By default, the device is in former mode. This mode is selected using the S507 register. See S register table described in an earlier section. To reiterate, the escape sequence is as follows:-

<Guard time><Esc Chr><Guard time><Esc Chr><Guard time><Esc Chr><Guard time>

This means that even when a file transfer is occurring and it happens to be full of <Esc Chr> characters then it is not going to drop into command mode because, when transferring a file it is going to happen as fast as possible and so the inter character gap is going to be significantly shorter than the <Guard time>. The <Esc Chr> character can be changed via the S2 register and the <Guard time> interval can be specified via the S12 register.

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 22 of 38 6. Pairing and Trusted Devices When authentication is enabled via S register 500 or when using the u modifier in the ATD and AT+BTP commands, a connection attempt will require a link key for the peer device. The link key can be obtained prior to connection by invoking the AT+BTW and AT+BTK commands. A new link key can be obtained as often as required and is stored in a volatile cache. At any time, this cached link key can be added to the trusted devices database using the AT+BTT command. A trusted device can be deleted using the AT+BTD command. To view a list of trusted device issue the command AT+BTT?. When a connection attempt requires a link key, the trusted device database will be searched automatically and if one exists will be provided without host interaction. If the link key is not present, then the connection attempt will be terminated and a NO CARRIER response will be given to the ATD command. A typical session to pair, say an Ericsson T68i, to a serial module would be Make the T68i discoverable and send AT+BTI to the serial module. This will result in inquiry responses from all devices. Make a note of the Bluetooth address of the phone e.g 123456789012 On the T68i start pairing procedure by selecting Phone accepts in the relevant Bluetooth menu. Send command AT+BTW123456789012 to the serial module Confirm that you get an OK response and then PIN? responses on a 2 second interval. Enter a pin key on the phone. Say it is 1234 Then enter the command AT+BTK=1234. The phone will confirm success and likewise the serial module will respond with OK On success the serial module will send an unsolicited message in the form of PAIR 0 <bd_addr>

Send AT+BTT to the serial module so that the pairing information is stored in the non-volatile database. Confirm that the link key has been stored by sending the command AT+BTT?. This will result in a list of all devices paired with the module. If two serial modules need to be paired, then it can be accomplished as follows:-

To module 1 send ATI4, it will respond with the local Bluetooth address. Eg 123456789001 To module 1 send AT+BTP. It will become discoverable and connectable. To module 2 send AT+BTW123456789001 and it will respond with OK Then on both modules you will see PIN? asynchronous responses To both modules send AT+BTK=1234 On success the serial module will send an unsolicited message in the form of PAIR 0 <bd_addr>

The pairing link key, is at this stage, in volatile memory, so send AT+BTT to both. The two units now have pairing information which will survive a power cycle. TDK Systems Europe Ltd 2003 Bluetooth Serial Module AT Command Set Date : 3 Feb 03 Issue No :

UART_RX,UART_TX,UART_CTS,UART_RTS,UART_RI,UART_DCD,UART_DSR are all 3.3v level logic. For example, when RX and TX are idle they will be sitting at 3.3V. Conversely for handshaking pins CTS,RTS,RI,DCD,DSR a 0v is treated as an assertion. Pin 6 (UART_RI) has inverse logic. It is normally 3.3v. When a remote device initiates a connection, this pin goes low. This means that when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the correct voltage level for assertion. Pin 8 (UART_DCD) has inverse logic. It is normally 3.3v. When a connection is live this pin is low. This means that when this pin is converted to RS232 voltage levels it will have the correct voltage level for assertion. Pin 10 (UART_DSR) is an input, again with inverse logic. It should be connected to the DTR output of the host. When the serial module is in high speed mode (See definition for S reg 512), this pin should be asserted by the host to ensure that the connection is maintained. A deassertion is taken to mean that the connection should be dropped, or an online command mode is being requested. The GPIOn pins can be accessed using S Registers 621 to 625 GPIO4 and GPIO5 are also connected to LEDs on the module. If these i/o pins are set for input, then the LED will be driven by the host and appropriate drive current requirements must be satisfied. By default GPIO4 is used to drive the right led which indicates connection status. TDK Systems Europe Ltd 2003 Bluetooth Serial Module AT Command Set Date : 3 Feb 03 Issue No :

General Purpose I/O General Purpose I/O Output from module Output from module Input to Module General Purpose I/O General Purpose I/O (Right LED) General Purpose I/O (Left LED) Connector Pin Label GPIO1 GPIO2 UART_RI UART_DCD UART_DSR GPIO3 GPIO4 GPIO5 IN/OUT IN/OUT OUT OUT IN IN/OUT IN/OUT IN/OUT Direction Function 1 BC2_PIO4 (DSR) is used by the serial module to sense that the host is connected, and is intricately linked with connections. For outgoing calls, if this line is not asserted then an error is immediately. Similarly for AT+BTP and AT+BTG. While in a call, for appropriate modes, a deassertion means fall into command state. If the deassertion exists for longer than the period specified in S register 519 then the connection is dropped as if an ATH command was received. 2 BC2_PIO2 (RI), is normally deasserted. When an incoming connection is detected it will be asserted, until the connection is either answered or rejected using ATA and ATH respectively. Unlike normal telephony modem, this line does not follow the state of RING tone. Basically it is asserted for incoming call setup to allow for a host to wakeup etc. As this pin is connected to an LED, there will be visual indication when RING is being indicated. 3 BCS_PIO3 (DCD) will be deasserted when the device is in the unconnected state. Asserted when a connection is active. In addition since this pin also controls an LED on our device, there is visual indication of a connection. GPIO Pins 1,2,3,4 and 5 are available for general purpose use. BREAK If the host sends a break signal of duration greater than 100ms, then the serial module is configured to treat that as a signal to perform a hardware reset.

The module has been configured to reset when the RX line detects a break condition for durations greater than 100 milliseconds. 10.2 Power Consumption The current drain from the Vcc power input line is dependent on various factors. The three most significant factors are the voltage level at Vcc, UART Baudrate and the operating mode. The hardware specification for the serial module allows for a voltage range of 3.6 to 6.0v at Vcc. Tests have shown that there is no significant difference in current draw when Vcc is 5 or 6V. Therefore the data presented below, pertains to Vcc levels of 3.6 and 5v only. Tests have shown that where power drain is an issue, it is best to keep Vcc at the lower end of the range. The UART baudrate has a bearing on power drain because as is normal for digital electronics, the power requirements increase linearly with increasing clocking frequencies. Hence higher baudrates result in a higher current drain. Finally with regards to operating mode the significant modes are; idle, waiting for a connection, inquiring, initiating a connection and connected. With connected mode, it is also relevant to differentiate between do data being transferred and when data is being transferred at the maximum rate possible. The operating mode can best be described by stating the AT commands required to enter that mode. In addition, there are certain S Registers which have a direct impact on power consumption, which are described next. The serial module has 2 Leds which can be configured to display connection status. One led is used to display connection status, while the other is used to either display Ring Indicate status or follow the state of the incoming DSR line on the UART interface. Tests have shown that these Leds can consume up to 5.3mA which is more than double the current draw when in Idle mode. Therefore S registers 533 and 534 can be used to completely disable these indications. Finally S Registers 508 to 511, which specify the page and inquiry scan intervals and windows, can be used to adjust the average current drain when in discoverable and or connectable modes. Registers 508 and 509 specify the interval and window for page scans and registers 510 and 511 specify the interval and window for inquiry scans. Register pairs 508/509 and 510/511 describe duty cycles when the serial module goes into scan modes. It is while scanning that the highest current draw occurs. The average current draw is determined by simple arithmetic using the values stored in the 508/509 and 510/511 register pairs. The operating modes described above are entered using AT commands as follows:-

Idle Wait for Connection Discoverable Only Connecting Connected On power up, with S Reg 512 = 1 AT+BTG (100% page scan duty cycle) AT+BTQ (100% inquiry scan duty cycle) ATD No Data TDK Systems Europe Ltd 2003 Bluetooth Serial Module AT Command Set Date : 3 Feb 03 Issue No :

This is when the page/inquiry scan duty cycle is 100%. These modes gives the quickest response to a page or inquiry request from a remote peer. It is possible to reduce the duty cycle down to as low as 0.5% at the expense of response time. The response time can be specified via S Reg 508 and 510 for page and inquiry respectively, where the worst case response time can be as high as 2.5 seconds. Then the duty cycle can be varied by changing the value of S Regs 509 and 511 appropriately. For example, if SReg 508 and 510 are both set to 1000ms and SReg 509 and 511 are both set to 11ms then the duty cycle is reduced to 1%, this means that average current drain at 5.0v will be 2% of 65mA plus the normal idle mode current, that is, it is as low as 2.75mA. However, in this case, it can take up to 1 second to establish a connection. TDK Systems Europe Ltd 2003 Bluetooth Serial Module AT Command Set Date : 3 Feb 03 Issue No :

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 28 of 38 11 Pure Cable Replacement Mode 11.1 Data Cable The module has the capability of being preset into a pure 5-wire data cable replacement mode. The 5 wires being RX,TX,CTS,RTS and GND. This mode requires no changes to a host application since the Bluetooth connection is automatically setup on power up and will retry when the connection drops. By implication, two devices are needed to replace a cable. One device is pre-configured to always be a master and the other, a slave. Assuming the bluetooth address of the master to be <bdaddr_m> and that of the slave to be <bdaddr_s>, the master module is configured by sending it the following AT commands. AT&F ATS512=1 ATS504=1 ATS507=2 ATS530=2000 AT&W AT+BTR<bdaddr_s>

Where the ATS507=2 setting puts the device in DSR drop mode only. This means that when the device needs to be reconfigured, deasserting the DSR line will ensure that the module responds quickly to AT commands. This further means that in stand alone mode, the DSR input line MUST be asserted e,g 0v in TTL signal mode. The slave is configured by, AT&F ATS512=4 ATS0=-1 AT&W AT+BTR<bdaddr_m>

Where <bdaddr_m> is optional. If it is not specified, then the slave unit will accept connections from any device. If specified then only connections from the device specified will be accepted. If it is desired that the slave unit not be discoverable (the master is by default not discoverable), then the configuration commands are, AT&F ATS512=3 ATS0=-1 AT&W AT+BTR<bdaddr_m>

Where <bdaddr_m> is optional. If it is not specified, then the slave unit will accept connections from any device. If specified then only connections from the device specified will be accepted. TDK Systems Europe Ltd 2003 Bluetooth Serial Module AT Command Set Date : 3 Feb 03 Issue No :

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 29 of 38 When the units are next power cycled, the slave unit will wait for the master to connect to it and the master will continually look for the slave. If a connection attempt fails, the master will wait for 2 seconds before reattempting a connection. This 2 second delay can be varied by issuing it an ATS530 command with an appropriate value in the range 100ms to 15000ms. IMPORTANT NOTE: When S Reg 507 = 0, the DSR input to the module MUST be asserted for the auto connection to succeed. When operating at TTL levels a 0V is seen as an assert state. When operating at RS232 levels and voltage greater than 3V is seen as assert. It is usual to connect the DTR line of the host to the DSR line of this device. 11.2 Audio Cable With a pair of these modules it is possible to replace a mono audio cable with two way traffic. That is, a setup where a microphone is connected to a speaker at the remote end and vice versa. So this mode effectively replaces two audio cables. Assuming the bluetooth address of the master to be <bdaddr_m> and that of the slave to be <bdaddr_s>, the master module is configured by sending it the following AT commands. AT&F ATS512=1 ATS504=1 ATS530=2000 ATS532=1 AT&W AT+BTR<bdaddr_s>

And the slave is configured by, AT&F ATS512=4 ATS0=-1 AT&W AT+BTR<bdaddr_s>

Mobile phones are very security conscious, so always insist on authenticated connections. So to make a connection, use the ATDU<bd_addr> variant of the command. 2. I have paired with a mobile phone and configured the device in cable replacement mode as detailed in Chapter 10, but I keep getting NO CARRIER responses. Set S register 502 to 1 so that the default for outgoing connection will ask for authenticated connections. For security reasons most phones will only allow authenticated Bluetooth connections. 3. When my module is configured for cable replacement, on connection I want to suppress the CONNECT response sent to the host, so that the first character my host sees is the first character from my actual data traffic. Set S register 504 to 1 4. I cannot get data transfer rates greater than 92kbps. You probably have the uart baudrate set to 115200. (115200 * 8 / 10 = 92160) where the *8/10 factor arises from the start and stop bit overhead. Set the uart baudrate to say 230400 or 460800 via S register 520, assuming your host can cope with the higher baudrates. Setting the buadrate to 921600 will guarantee that the UART is never responsible for the bottleneck. 5. I have done as suggested in 4 above and I still dont get the 200kbps claimed in the data sheet. Set S register 507 to 2 and ensure that the DSR input to the module is asserted. If DSR is not asserted in this mode, then all connections attempts will be aborted. 6. I modified S Registers to put the device in cable replacement mode and nothing happens after a power cycle. Ensure that the modified S registers are stored in non-volatile storage by sending the command AT&W 7. Can I suppress character echoes when in command mode?

Yes. Set S Register 506 to 0 8. When I establish a connection, I want an SCO channel (Audio) to be started automatically. Set S Register 532 to 1 TDK Systems Europe Ltd 2003 Bluetooth Serial Module AT Command Set Date : 3 Feb 03 Issue No :

1.9 Doc No : XRBLU020-001SW-0 Page 31 of 38 9. After a successful connection, I want to remain in command mode so that I can send more AT commands and then when done, go to online mode by issuing the ATO command Set S Register 531 to 1 10. When in connected and online mode, I want to drop into command mode using the more usual +++ escape sequence instead of ^^^

Set S Register 2 to 43 11. When I perform an inquiry using AT+BTI I only get 8 responses, yet I know I have more than 8 devices in the neighbourhood. Set S Register 518 to a larger value than the default 8 before issuing the AT+BTI command 12. When doing an inquiry I want to get the friendly names as well, along with the devices class codes. Instead of the AT+BTI command, issue the variant AT+BTIN 13. When my connected device goes out of range, it takes too long for a NO CARRIER response from the device. Set S Register 535 as desired. It modifies the baseband link timeout appropriately. 14. The cable between my host and the serial module has just RX,TX,GND. I get no responses from the serial module. Pull the CTS line of the serial module to the asserted state (0V). 15. Can I disable CTS/RTS handshaking and use XON/XOFF handshaking?

No. If your host does not have CTS/RTS handshaking capability, we suggest you set the UART baudrate to something less than 38400 and link the CTS pin of the module to a permanently asserted state. The higher bit rate capability on the RF side should ensure that the receive buffer of the serial module will remain empty. 16. I have changed S Register 512 so that on power up it comes in mode 4. But nothing seems to happen, in fact after power cycle, the value is as if I had never changed it. After modifying the S register, enter the command AT&W so that the new value is stored in non-volatile storage. 17. I have set S Reg 507 to 1 and specified a peer address using AT+BTR, but I still dont get an auto connection. Ensure that DSR of the device is asserted (ie at 0v when operating at TTL levels or >

This motherboard provides RS232 level conversion and a standard 9 way D-Type connector. In addition it also has a 25 way D-Type connector which gives access to the SPI bus on the serial module for firmware updates and there is a headphone socket which allows for experimentation with the serial modules audio capability. A picture of the serial module mounted on the motherboard is presented below. The 9 way D-Type connector is a socket, and the pin-out is such that it can be plugged straight into a PC serial port. Alternately, if access to the serial port of the PC is restricted, an extension cable with all 9 wires can be used to connect the two. Similarly, for firmware updates, assuming the PC has been loaded with the appropriate tools (CSRs Bluelab), the 25 way D-Type connector, can be plugged straight into the LPT port of the PC.

Output Input Output Output One of the main features of the TDK serial module is that it enables the replacement of a serial cable between a PC and a peripheral such as a modem. The pin-out on modems is as per the table above, so if the serial cable between a peripheral like a modem and a PC is to be replaced with 2 serial modules, then the motherboard will plug into the PC as is. However, the pin-out and the gender at the modem end are not one to one compatible with the motherboard.

SERIAL MODULE MOTHERBOARD USER MANUAL Date: January 2003 By: Nick Letheren Thank you for purchasing the TDK Bluetooth Intelligent Serial Module Motherboard. This board allows the TDK Intelligent Serial Module to be connected to a PC. Related documents:

Serial Module Hardware Interface Description TDK Bluetooth AT Serial Module Software Description Circuit Description for Motherboard Basically there 3 parts to the motherboard. RS232 Serial interface. This provides a direct interface to any standard RS232 port on a PC or peripheral. Component U2 is a level shifter on the RX, TX, CTS, RTS, DTR, DSR, RI signals that converts between the 3.3V required on the module to the standard RS232 level. 9-way D type connector (J2) is configured so that it will directly connect to the Serial port of a PC. Audio interface. Connector J9 allows a headset or audio source to be connected to the Intelligent Serial Module. The PCM signals from the Serial module are converted by CODEC (U4) to analog output. The Mic input is passed via the CODEC to the PCM input of the module. The circuit is designed to drive a simple mobile phone type headset. Flash upgrade interface. The 25-way D type connector (J1) allows the Intelligent Serial Module to be reflashed using the Bluelab utilities provided by CSR. The connector is organised so that a direct one-to-one cable to the parallel port of a PC will allow the utilities to run. The Audio and Flash upgrade circuit are on one half of the PCB so that they could be removed in applications using the RS232 interface only. The board is designed so that if the wire links are removed it can be snapped in two parts. Software The motherboard and Intelligent Serial Module will connect to the Serial Port of any PC. The user can simply communicate with the module using any Terminal Emulator software such as Hyper-terminal or Procomm. An alternative Emulator is included on the CD. TDK Terminal is a terminal emulation application capable of running on Windows 98/ME/2000/XP operating systems.
