1.1 Features of Bluetooth
Objectives of Bluetooth : To Realize Wireless Communication for Short Distance with Low Power
Consumption, High Reliability, and Low Cost. Frequency in Use: To Use ISM(Industrial, Scientific, Medical) Band which does not require any permission to use.
Transmission Rate : 1Mbps ~ 3Mbps Transmission Output : 1mW (10m, Class2), 100mW (100m Class1)
Network Configuration : Configured with Master and Slave relation. A Bluetooth unit shall allow 2.400 2.4835 GHz, 79 channels 2.465 2.4835 GHz, 23 channels (in France)
simultaneous connections up to 7 devices (in case of ACL). Reliability : To Guarantee stable wireless communication even under severe noisy environment through adopting the technique of FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum). 1.2 Operation of Bluetooth
< 1-1 >
Once the Master will inquire the Slave, the Slave will respond to the inquiry to the Master.
When the information of Slave will agree with that of the Master, the interconnection will be achieved to transmit the data.
Once the Master will inquire the Slave, the Slave will respond to the inquiry to the Master.
When the information of Slave will agree with that of the Master, the interconnection will be achieved to transmit the data. 5 / 27 FB100AS User Guide Version 1.0 2 Porducts Overview 2 Porducts Overview FB100AS has been developed to replace the previous RS232 Cable system with wireless communication system to use.

If Flow Control is not required, communication can be achieved with only RX, TX, and GND connected to the Host. For 1:N communication, connection of STREAM CONTROL(DSR) and STREAM STATUS(DTR) are necessarily required. MESSAGE CONTROL(CTS) and MESSAGE STATUS(RTS) is used for the confirmation of the accurate information. In 1:N communication, if all connection is successful, CONNECT CHECK(DCD) in SLAVE Device is outputted HIGH signal. However, if one or more of connections is disconnected, CONNECT CHECK(DCD) in SLAVE will be outputted LOW signal. (Default CONNECT CHECK(DCD) Output :

12 How to complete PC Configuration?
The Baud rate or Role is selectable using Dip Switch. (In case, CONNECTION MODE is not MODE4.) For other setting values, you can establish the setting using PC Configuration. PC Configuration can be performed with two significant ways. First is to use Configuration tool provided by FIRMTECH Co., Ltd. Second is to use the serial communication programs such as Hyper Terminal or Mincom provided by OS. The ways to configure are as follows respectively. 12.1 PC Configuration using BTConfig tool
(1) Please provide FB100AS with power, then check if the Status LED of FB100AS is flickering or not. If red LED is flickering, turn off the power and set the fourth of FUNCTION Dip-Switch at OFF position.
(2) Please connect FB100AS to the serial port of PC, and turn the power on to execute the BTConfig tool.
<Figure 12-1 BTConfig tool main display>
(3) Select main CONNECT (<Figure 12-1> Outlined Blue) on main display. 19 / 27 FB100AS User Guide Version 1.0 12 How to complete PC Configuration?
<Figure 12-2 BTConfig tool CONNECT display>
<Figure 12-3 Connection Display of BTconfig tool>
(4) If above <Figure 12-2> appears on the display, select the red lined square 1 ~ 3, and press CONNECT button(red lined square 4), then the Serial Connection, Ready To Set (red lined box 1) will be turned into green color as shown on <Figure 12-3>. If it does not change its color, please check with the set value of product and try to execute the config tool again.
(5) Upon the product connected with config tool normally, select the Config Button(outlined in blue) of Figure<12-3> to have the display appeared as seen on <Figure 12-4> where you can set the PC Configuration. 20 / 27 FB100AS User Guide Version 1.0 12 How to complete PC Configuration?
<Figure 12-4 BTConfig tool - Device Configuration >
(6) Following is to describe the procedures of setting up the config tool.
- Upon completion of all setting up, please click WRITE STATUS to store the newly set up values.
- To verify if the stored values are correct, just simply click READ STATUS to read out the current PC Configuration stored.
- If you want to set up as it was originally received, just simply click Factory Setup, which will reset to the initial received value.
- Since config tool is designed on the basis of AT command of the Product, which enables to look and verify the command language with its status through status value and message window of the command language status Note :
Please refer to the appendix A of PC Configuration for the detailed description. 12.2 PC Configuration using Serial Communication (Hyper Terminal) Program 12.2.1 To Execute Hyper Terminal To set up PC Configuration using Hyper Terminal, following procedures shall be performed prior to the power is being supplied after the FB100AS is connected to the PC. To set up PC Configuration, the Serial Communication Program is required. We will use Hyper Terminal in describing the procedures.
(1) Fix the number 4 switch of Function Dip Switch at ON. 21 / 27 FB100AS User Guide Version 1.0 12 How to complete PC Configuration?
<Figure 12-6 Hyper Terminal Set up Window 1>
(2) Execute in the order of [start][All Programs][Accessories][Communications][Hyper Terminal], then connection window will appear on which enter appropriate name and click.
<Figure 12-7 Hyper Terminal Set up Window 2>
(3) When the <Figure 12-7> comes up, select the COM port connected to FB100AS, and clicks the OK button. 22 / 27 FB100AS User Guide Version 1.0 12 How to complete PC Configuration?
<Figure 12-8 Hyper Terminal Set up Window 3>
(4) When Registration Information Window comes up as on <Figure 12-8>, select Bit per second :
9600, Data bit : 8, Parity : none, Stop bit : 1, Flow control : none, which will execute Hyper Terminal.
<Figure 12-9 Hyper Terminal Set Up Window 4>
23 / 27 FB100AS User Guide Version 1.0 12 How to complete PC Configuration?
(5) (6) Basically, the Hyper Terminal does not show the entered character. To make sure of the entered character, select [File][Properties] on the Menu, then registration information window will appear shown as on <Figure 12-9>, click the ASCII Setup button.
<Figure 12-10 Hyper Terminal Set Up Window 5>
(6) As shown on <Figure 12-10>, Check Echo typed characters locally and come out pressing the acknowledge button. Now the Hyper Terminal program setting procedure is completed to use PC Configuration. If the Power is approved for FB100AS, the menu such as <Figure 12-11> will appear on the Hyper Terminal.
