DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 5 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 1. Safety First It is essential that the user read this document carefully before using the DPA 5 hardware. The DPA 5 device is to be used by those trained in the troubleshooting and diagnostics of light-duty through heavy-duty vehicles. The user is assumed to have a very good understanding of the electronic systems contained on the vehicles and the potential hazards related to working in a shop-floor environment. Dearborn Group Technology understands that there are numerous safety hazards that cannot be foreseen, so we recommend that the user read and follow all safety messages in this manual, on all of your shop equipment, from your vehicle manuals, as well as internal shop documents and operating procedures. 9 Always block drive and steer wheels both front and back when testing the vehicle. 9 Use extreme caution when working around electricity. When diagnosing any vehicle, there is the risk of electric shock from battery-level voltages, vehicle voltages, and from building voltages. 9 Do not smoke or allow sparks or open flames near any part of the vehicle fueling system or vehicle batteries. 9 Always work in an adequately ventilated area, and route vehicle exhaust outdoors. 9 Do not use this product in an environment where fuel, fuel vapor, exhaust fumes, or other potentially hazardous liquids, solids, or gas/vapors could collect and/or possibly ignite, such as in an unventilated area or other confined space, including below-ground areas.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 6 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 2. Introducing the DPA 5 The DPA 5 product is used to connect vehicle communication networks to personal computers (PCs). This allows programs written for the PC to retrieve pertinent vehicle information such as fault codes, component information, as well as perform vehicle and component level diagnostics and tests. The DPA 5 communicates with the PC using either a USB cable or via Bluetooth. Note that before switching communications modes from USB to Bluetooth and vice-versa, the DPA 5 must be powered off and then back on. The DPA 5 with Bluetooth Communications 2.1.

DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 8 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 2.4. Single-Application versus Multi-Application Drivers Release 1.0 of the DPA 5 drivers does not support multiple OEM applications running simultaneously. This release includes what are called the DPA 5 single-application drivers, named DGDPA5SA and will appear in OEM applications as Dearborn Group DPA 5 Single Application. A future release will include the DPA 5 multi-application drivers which will be named DGDPA5MA and will appear as Dearborn Group DPA 5 Multi Application in OEM applications. It has been DG’s experience that when several OEM applications are running simultaneously, especially on a crowded J1939 data bus, they sometimes miss critical timing events and as a result do not behave as they would normally. Therefore, DG will be installing the single-application drivers as well as the multi-application drivers (when they are released) separately since the single-application drivers are much faster and require less PC resources. Use Single Application Drivers If Possible… Because of the added overhead and resources involved with handling multiple OEM applications simultaneously, DG recommends that you use the DGDPA5SA single application drivers as much as possible. They are a much better choice for time-critical applications such as reflashing. Use the DGDPA5MA drivers only as necessary such as when needing to run an engine application alongside a transmission application; or when needing to record vehicle data with one program while running an OEM application.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 9 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 3. Installation and Getting Started with the DPA Items included with the DPA 5 diagnostic tool are the Dearborn Group Technology DPA Installation Disc and a printed Quick Start Sheet. If you ordered the standard DPA 5 Kit, it should include the following items: 9 Rugged Plastic Carrying Case 9 DPA 5 Diagnostic Tool 9 6-pin/9-pin Deutsch Connector “Y” Cable, for vehicle-side connection 9 USB Cable, gold-plated with screw-in ears to secure the cable to the DPA 5 case 9 Printed Quick Start Sheet 9 Dearborn Group Technology DPA 5 Installation Disc Please note that Dearborn Group Technology customizes our kits for our vendors. If you order your DPA through someone other than Dearborn Group Technology what you receive may vary. 3.1. Step 1. Driver Installation Attention – Do Not Connect the DPA 5 to the PC! 9 Do Not Connect the DPA 5 to the PC until the drivers have been installed! 9 Install DPA 5 drivers from CD or from your internet download. o To install drivers you must have administrator privileges. 9 If you have problems installing the drivers, please contact technical support at (248) 888-2000. Attention The DPA drivers provided on the installation CD are installed by inserting the disc into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. The latest drivers and firmware are always available at www.dgtech.com/download.php. If you have any questions about the install, please contact our technical support staff. If setup does not begin automatically, use the following sequence for Windows XP: Start Î Run Î [CD_Drive_Letter]:\DPA5Install.exe and click OK
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 10 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology If setup does not begin automatically, use the following sequence for Windows Vista: Start Î All Programs Î Accessories Î Run Î [CD_Drive_Letter]:\DPA5Install.exe and click OK After the drivers are installed, you will be prompted to restart your computer. While your PC is rebooting, continue following the next instructions. 3.2. Step 2. Connect USB Cable to the DPA and PC Remove the sticker covering the USB port and connect the USB cable to the DPA and PC. The USB cable that comes with the DPA 5 has ears that allow the cable to be screwed into standoff screws on the DPA 5 frame, greatly reducing the chance of breaking the USB connector on the DPA circuit board. PC-side USB Cable 3.1. Step 3. Connect Vehicle-Side Cable to the DPA Connect the vehicle-side of the cable (the DB25 connector) to your DPA before you connect to the vehicle (see the note below). 9 Do not connect to vehicle first! Pins 6 and 8 on the DB25 connector are power and ground and are very close together. Vehicle-side Cable 6-pin/9-pin Deutsch “Y” Cable (Heavy-Duty)
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 11 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 3.2. Step 4. Connect DPA to Vehicle Now, connect the DPA to the vehicle, verifying that the DPA Power LED is lit. 3.3. Step 5. Finalize PC Install The DPA is now connected to the PC and powered on. In some versions of Windows the final step in driver installation is automatic. In others, the Windows Found New Hardware Wizard will run to finalize driver installation. What appears in Windows XP is shown below. 1. Select No, not this time and press the Next button. 2. Select Install the software automatically (Recommended) and press the Next button. 3. This screen appears while Windows installs the drivers. 4. This screen appears when Windows has finished installing the drivers. Press the Finish button. 3.4. Notes on USB If you plug in a DPA (or any other USB device) that does not have Microsoft Certification associated with it into a different USB port than where it was installed the first time, you are going to get the New Hardware Found wizard again. Repeat steps in 3.3 again for each new USB port. IF YOU SELECT Cancel, THE DPA WILL NOT WORK! USB traits inherent to the PC sometimes cause the DPA to lose communications, if this happens: 1. Unplug the USB cable from the PC and unplug the vehicle-side cable from the vehicle (power off 3-5 seconds). 2. Plug the USB cable into a different USB port than previously connected to. 3. Reconnect the DPA to the vehicle.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 12 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 4. Windows Vista Support Notes Microsoft® has made great strides in updating their operating systems to protect against malicious software. With Windows Vista, Microsoft introduced User Account Control (UAC). UAC strictly enforces the differences between an administrator and a standard user account. When an action that could potentially compromise the PC such as writing files to the C:\Windows directory or registry is requested, the user is prompted for an administrator name and password. If the user is already an administrator, they are still prompted to confirm the action. Generally speaking, whenever you see the Microsoft security shield icon on a button, you will need an administrator’s password to perform that operation. 4.1. UAC and the TMC RP1210 Standard Before Windows Vista, it was common for applications to put INI and other types of configuration files in the default Windows directory, typically C:\Windows. The RP1210 standard requires that the RP121032.INI file be located in this directory, along with all of the vendor INI files (i.e. DGDPA5SA.INI). On Windows Vista, this means that a standard user cannot make changes to the main RP121032.INI file, nor can they make changes to the vendor INI files when UAC is enabled. 4.2. UAC and the Dearborn Group Adapter Validation Tool (AVT) A standard user will be able to run the AVT program and troubleshoot the PC-DPA-vehicle connection, but will not be able to fix a problem in the RP121032.INI file without an administrator password (see section on troubleshooting later in this document). The graphic below is from AVT, showing the Microsoft security shield on the Fix/Change RP121032.INI File button. 4.3. UAC and the DPA Options/Bluetooth Configuration Programs Only an administrator will be able to run the DPA Options and Bluetooth Configuration programs. 4.4. UAC Requirements for Dearborn Group DPA Utility Programs The DPA utility programs (listed below) have been written to conform to UAC. The following list shows these programs and privileges required to run them: Program Privileges Required Notes Adapter Validation Tool (AVT) Standard User Administrator needed for Fix/Change RP121032.INI File. DPA 5 Options Administrator DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility Administrator DG Diagnostics Standard User Cannot save/record data bus files to a protected directory. DPA Firmware Updater Standard User Sample Source Code Standard User 4.5. More Information on UAC For more detailed information on UAC, there is a helpful article at http://www.wikipedia.org or you can go directly to the Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com and search for “UAC”.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 13 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 5. Setting Up Your OEM Diagnostic Applications The DPA works with all RP1210A and RP1210B compliant applications that support J1708/J1587, CAN/J1939, J1850 VPW (GM Class II) and the ISO15765 protocols. The DPA also works with applications that were specifically written to use the DG non-RP1210-compliant native drivers for other protocols, such as GM UART and ISO9141. This section shows how to configure the most common RP1210-compliant diagnostic applications to work with the DPA 5. 5.1. Notes on Selecting an RP1210 Compliant Adapter Selecting a RP1210 adapter, commonly referred to as a Vehicle Datalink Adapter (VDA) varies widely from application to application; however, the terminology remains pretty much the same. The following table helps to introduce you to the terminology and helps you to make the correct selections the first time. You must set up every application (in their own individual way) to use the DPA!

DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 17 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 6. Troubleshooting Your DPA There are typically four problem areas with VDA devices. Each problem is discussed in following sections: 1. Connection related – unable to communicate from the PC to the adapter, the adapter to the vehicle, or both. 2. Inability to select the adapter in your OEM diagnostic application. 3. Problems re-flashing/reprogramming with the J1939 protocol. 4. USB Issues. 6.1. Connection-Related Issues After you have installed the DPA drivers and connected the DPA 5 to both the PC and vehicle, make sure that the DPA Power LED is lit. Then configure your OEM diagnostic program to use the DPA. Should the DPA 5 not work with the OEM software, run the DG Adapter Validation Tool (AVT) to ensure that the PC is able to communicate with the DPA, and that the DPA is able to see vehicle data bus traffic. Windows Vista Users: When AVT is launched, you will be told if a problem exists in the main RP121032.INI file. If you wish to fix this issue, press the Fix/Change RP121032.INI File button and you will be prompted for administrator privileges (see section on Windows Vista). StartÎProgramsÎDearbornGroupProductsÎDPA5ÎAdapterValidationTool Select the correct DPA adapter (USB DPA 5 is used in this example):  Vendor DGDPA5SA – Dearborn Group DPA 5 Single Application  Device 1 – DG DPA 5 Dual-CAN USB - USB  Protocol J1708, J1850, CAN or J1939 (depending on your application) Then click the Run Test button. Depending on the results of the test, both the RP1210 Status Window and RP1210 Data Message Window will turn green (pass) or red (fail).
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 18 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 6.1.1. AVTTestOutcomesIf the RP1210 Status Window turns red, then there is a problem with something causing the PC not to communicate with the DPA 5. This may be something as simple as having power to the adapter or having a USB cabling issue. Disconnect the adapter from the vehicle and PC; then reconnect them, this time connecting to another USB port on the PC. Ensure you hear the familiar “da-ding” sound when connecting the DPA 5 into the USB port. The “da-ding” sound indicates that the PC has found, and can talk to, the DPA 5 device. If the RP1210 Status Window turns green and the RP1210 Data Message Window turns red, then the PC is seeing the adapter, but not seeing messages from the vehicle. Check the vehicle ignition switch and vehicle to adapter cabling; disconnect the adapter from the vehicle and PC; then reconnect them. The vehicle may not be communicating over the protocol that you have chosen (some tractor OEMs are not using the J1708 databus anymore). If you see data in the RP1210 Data Message Window, then the adapter is installed and functioning properly. Contact the manufacturer of the diagnostic software you are using and tell them the test scenario you just tried. If after following the Test Results Discussion and Next Steps screen, you cannot get the adapter to read data, contact Dearborn Group technical support. 6.1.2.

DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 19 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 6.1.3. TestResultsDiscussionandNextStepsOnce the test is complete, the application will display an informational screen listing some steps to correct the issues based upon what the results of the test were. If one of the windows turned red, then read the instructions carefully to see if you can determine where the source of the problem is. The next image is from a successful read of vehicle data (green/green). 6.2. Not Seeing DPA 5 in OEM Application VDA Selection List If you have installed the DPA 5 drivers, and your diagnostic application does not display DG DPA 5 Dual-CAN USB in their VDA selection dialog box, this could indicate one of three things about the diagnostic application. Most oftentimes, item #3 is the main culprit, and has been causing problems for several years. 1. Application is not RP1210A or RP1210B compliant and does not work with the DPA 5. a. Some applications require a specific, proprietary adapter. 2. Application is RP1210A or RP1210B compliant, but DPA does not support the protocol needed. a. For example, ISO9141 in the RP1210 layer. 3. Problem with the main RP1210 INI file, typically C:\Windows\RP121032.INI. a. Some VDAs create issues with the RP121032.INI file when they install/uninstall. b. You will be notified by a dialog box when you run AVT if there is a problem. If so, you should fix the problem. On Windows Vista, you will be required to have administrator privileges. The AVT application has a button Fix/Change RP121032.INI File that will allow you to view and fix the RP121032.INI file if there are errors detected. You can also change the VDA vendor that appears first in the list of the OEM diagnostic software applications. When you click this button and there are errors, this screen will be displayed. Click OK and you will get a screen allowing you to make the changes necessary:
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 20 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology In the example below, a bad INI file was detected and is depicted by a yellow background. Note the multiple commas and spaces between entries. The user then chose that they wanted DGDPA5SA be the first vendor in the list. Click the Make Changes button and the INI file problem will be corrected. NOTE: Many OEM diagnostic applications are aware of this issue and can read through the errors. 6.3. Possible J1939 Speed Related Issues (FAST_TRANSPORT) There has long been a DPA option to speed up reprogramming times called FAST_TRANSPORT. Many OEM and component manufacturers using the DPA for end of line (EOL) programming stations have known about this option and have used it successfully. DG has decided to turn FAST_TRANSPORT on by default to speed up your vehicle reprogramming times. In one instance after turning FAST_TRANSPORT on, reprogramming of an engine dropped from fifty minutes to eight minutes, however little if any difference will be seen during standard diagnostic sessions. If you have difficulty reprogramming or using your diagnostic software with the J1939 protocol (erratic behavior), try turning the FAST_TRANSPORT option off. This can be done with the DPA 5 Options program (see the DPA 5 Options Program section). 6.4. USB-Related Issues If you plug in a DPA (or any other USB device) that does not have Microsoft Certification associated with it into a different USB port than where it was installed the first time, will see the New Hardware Found wizard again. Repeat steps in 3.3 again for each new USB port. IF YOU SELECT Cancel, THE DPA WILL NOT WORK! Other USB traits inherent to the PC sometimes cause the DPA to lose communications. If a loss of communications with the PC occurs: 1. Unplug the USB cable from the PC. 2. Unplug the vehicle-side cable from the vehicle (ensure power is off for 3-5 seconds). 3. Plug the USB cable into a different USB port than previously connected to. 4. Reconnect the DPA to the vehicle.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 21 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 7. DPA 5 Options Program The DPA 5 Options program allows you to set and configure various aspects of the DPA 5. The following sections describe the roles of that variable. The DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility is discussed later. 7.1. J1939 Fast Transport Layer (FAST_TRANSPORT Option) When this option is in the On (Default) position, it significantly decreases reprogramming and reflashing times over the J1939 data bus by reducing the amount of time between J1939 transport protocol packets (used to break large messages into CAN 8-byte packets for transmitting on the data bus). If you encounter a diagnostic or reprogramming/reflashing application that is having problems with the DPA using the J1939 protocol, we recommend setting this parameter temporarily to the Off position and then retrying the application. 7.2. Debug Logging Level, Debug File Name, Debug File Size, Debug Mode These options have to do mainly with being able to debug potential issues with the DGDPA5SA drivers, and are a new feature of RP1210B. You may be asked by DG technical support personnel to modify these options; otherwise leave these variables at their default settings. 7.2.1. DebugLoggingLevel(RP1210INIFileVariableDebugLevel)To use API level debugging, modify the DebugLevel variable to one of the following values: 0 = No debugging to be accomplished (Default). 1 = Only Connect/Disconnect/Error Messages. 2 = Add RP1210_SendCommand calls. 3 = Add all Sent Messages (with filtering). 4 = Add all Received Messages (with filtering). 7.2.2. DebugFileName(RP1210INIFileVariableDebugFile)The DebugFile variable is the file where you want to see the debugging information written to.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 22 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 7.2.3. DebugFileSize(RP1210INIFileVariableDebugFileSize)The DebugFileSize variable is how many 1k chunks you will allow the API to write before it begins to write over previously written entries. A value of 1024 is 1 megabyte (default). A value of zero means that there is no file size limit (allow infinite file size). 7.2.4. DebugMode(RP1210INIFileVariableDebugMode)The DebugMode variable describes how the API will interact with the DebugFile. Should it overwrite (value = 0) any previous entries or should it append entries (value = 1) to the end of the file. 7.3. DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility This button opens the DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility. This allows the user to create RP1210 DeviceID entries from DPA 5 Bluetooth pairings. See the section on Bluetooth and the DPA 5 for more information.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 23 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 8. Bluetooth and the DPA 5 8.1. Bluetooth Overview for the DPA 5 Bluetooth has become a very popular short-range wireless protocol for devices such as cell phone headsets. The DPA 5 is equipped with a Bluetooth antenna that can be used instead of using a USB cable. The following are some very broad notes to be considered with using the DPA 5 in Bluetooth mode: 9 Your DPA 5 can be paired with, and be used by any Bluetooth equipped PC throughout your shop. In simple terms, the DPA 5 in Bluetooth mode is not locked into one specific PC in the shop. 9 The range of communication is dependent on Bluetooth PC dongle radio power output. Typically, micro-sized USB Bluetooth PC dongles do not transmit/receive as far as full-size USB Bluetooth PC dongles. There are even large differences in the power outputs of the full-size USB PC dongles. Range is also dependent on shop operating conditions and electromagnetic interference sources such as fluorescent lights, HVAC systems, and welding equipment. Therefore, a specific range for communications cannot be guaranteed. 9 Note that the RP1210 committee, OEMs, and DG, do not recommend reprogramming or recalibrating equipment using any type of wireless protocol. A physical cable is much more reliable and not as prone to the electromagnetic interference found in a shop floor environment. Since Bluetooth has become so popular, there are literally hundreds of models of Bluetooth-to-PC dongles that can be used to communicate with the DPA 5 device. This large number makes it impossible to cover the configuration of each one in this manual, as the documentation for those models would be outdated in weeks or months. What we will try to accomplish in the next sections is to introduce you to the correct terminology that will be required to pair your DPA 5 with your PC and create a Virtual COM Port so that the DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility can be used to create an RP1210 DeviceID that can be used by your OEM application software. We apologize in advance and request your understanding. Because there are so many dongles on the market, we are unable to provide technical support for the installation and configuration of your Bluetooth dongle unless that dongle was purchased from DG. The Bluetooth dongle installations range from very simple and straightforward to extremely complex and time-consuming. If you cannot get your dongle paired with the PC into what is called a Virtual COM Port, we suggest that you visit the website for the manufacturer of the dongle, or contact their help desk. Once you have your DPA 5 paired and have a Virtual COM Port assigned to it, you can call our technical support department for assistance using the DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility (covered below). 8.2. Steps in Using the DPA 5 in Bluetooth Mode 8.2.1. InstallingYourBluetooth‐to‐PCDongleDriversEnsure that when you install the Bluetooth-to-PC dongle that you select any option that says create/configure/install a Virtual COM Port. A Virtual COM Port is what will be used by the DPA 5 Bluetooth Configuration Utility to create a DeviceID that can be used by your OEM application software.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 24 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 8.2.2. PairingYourDPA5DeviceandCreatingaVirtualCOMPortCreating a Virtual COM Port and pairing your device requires two things you have to provide to your Bluetooth dongle configuration utility. Both of these appear on the back of the DPA 5. 1. DPA 5 Bluetooth ID 2. DPA 5 Bluetooth Passkey 9 Note that the DPA 5 must have power to be paired. When you use the Bluetooth dongle configuration utility to discover/pair new devices in order to create a Virtual COM Port, have your DPA 5 powered up and you will see the DPA 5 device and the DPA 5 Bluetooth ID that is written on the back of the DPA. When asked for the passkey/password/passcode to create the Virtual COM Port pairing, enter “dgtech” (do not enter the quotation marks) in all lower case letters. Once you have successfully created the Virtual COM Port, continue to the next step. 8.2.3. FromVirtualCOMPorttoRP1210DeviceID;theDPA5BluetoothConfigurationUtilityWhat is a DeviceID and Why Is it Necessary? A DeviceID is a VDA device’s entry in the VDA vendor’s RP1210 INI file. These entries are read by OEM software applications and displayed in a list to the user so they can be chosen and used. For example, the following is how AVT displays the following entry (for the DPA 5 in USB mode) from the DGDPA5SA.INI file: [DeviceInformation1] DeviceID=1 DeviceDescription=DG DPA 5 Dual-CAN USB,USB DeviceName=DG DPA 5 Dual-CAN USB DeviceParams=DG USB The DG Bluetooth Configuration Utility is used to create DeviceID entries in the DGDPA5SA.INI file with DPA 5 units that have been paired with that PC into Virtual COM Ports. The below example shows how the DPA 5 with the DPA 5 Bluetooth ID “0000-0D8F-E378” became DeviceID=160, and the DeviceParams=/B,COM10 reflected the Virtual COM Port that was assigned to that entry (COM10). The illustration on the right shows what AVT would show for this entry. [DeviceInformation160] DeviceID=160 DeviceDescription=DPA 5 #0000-0D8F-E378 Bluetooth,Wireless DeviceName=DPA 5 #0000-0D8F-E378 Bluetooth DeviceParams=/B,COM10 After you have successfully paired your DPA 5 with the Bluetooth dongle and have created the Virtual COM Port, run the DG Bluetooth Configuration Utility: 1. Start Î Programs Î Dearborn Group Products Î DPA 5 Î DPA 5 Options 2. Then press the button DG Bluetooth Configuration Utility 3. Ensure the Bluetooth dongle is connected to the PC and that the DPA 5 has power You must go through this configuration utility to create DeviceID entries, or the DPA 5 in Bluetooth mode will not work with your OEM applications.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 25 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology What the DG Bluetooth Configuration Utility does is to: 9 Display existing DPA 5 Bluetooth DeviceID pairings that are found in the DGDPA5SA.INI file, allowing you to delete a DeviceID pairing if you wish. 9 Discover DPA 5 Bluetooth devices on Virtual COM Ports and create a new DeviceID pairing that can be used by OEM software applications. Image showing a newly discovered DPA 5. 8.2.4. CreatingaNewDeviceIDfromaNewlyPairedDPA5After you have paired a DPA 5 to your PC and have created a Virtual COM Port for it, click the Discover Bluetooth DPAs button, and any DPA found will be automatically added to the DGDPA5SA.INI file. Above is an illustration as to how it would look. OEM applications will now be able to see and use that particular DPA 5 as DeviceID=160. 8.2.5. DeletingaDeviceIDIf you want to delete a DeviceID, simply select that entry and click the Delete Pairing from DGDPA5SA.INI file. Note that after the DeviceID has been deleted, it will NOT appear in OEM software applications for selection.
DPA 5 Dual CAN / Bluetooth Installation and User Manual Page 26 of 34 © 2009 Dearborn Group Technology 8.3. Using Multiple DPAs on One PC – Use XP Windows Service Pack 3 As noted above, there are many different possibilities for Bluetooth PC dongles and their PC installations. There are also major differences in the Bluetooth protocol stack (drivers) on various operating systems. The Bluetooth protocol stack on the different operating systems is what the DPA 5 drivers use to communicate with the DPA 5. Depending on the Bluetooth protocol stack that is being used, some will only pair a device to a single virtual COM port. This would mean that if you wanted to use more than one DPA with one specific PC, you would have to do the following (the example uses DPA 5 #1 and DPA 5 #2): 1. Use the DG Bluetooth Configuration Utility to remove DPA #1’s DeviceID. 2. Use the Bluetooth software provided with the PC dongle to remove DPA #1 from the virtual COM port. 3. Use the Bluetooth software provided with the PC dongle to pair DPA #2 to the virtual COM port. 4. Use the DG Bluetooth Configuration Utility to create a DeviceID for DPA #2. Our experiences have shown that if you use the PC dongles that DG is distributing in conjunction with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack, these steps are not necessary and multiple adapters can be paired to different COM ports (which is the easiest way to communicate with multiple devices). These two Bluetooth devices being distributed are: 9 IOGear GBU321 – a Bluetooth Class I adapter 9 IOGear GBU 421 – a Bluetooth Class II adapter If you are using Windows XP, the Microsoft Bluetooth stack works with these devices only when Service Pack 3 is installed (SP3). For more information on downloading SP3, visit www.microsoft.com. Just remember, do not install the software that comes with these devices, just plug them into the PC and the Microsoft Bluetooth stack will take care of them.
