FB200AS-F User Guide Version 1.0 1 What is Bluetooth?   Page 5 / 27  1 What is Bluetooth? 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. - 2.400 – 2.4835 GHz, 79 channels - 2.465 – 2.4835 GHz, 23 channels (in France)  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 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   <Feature 1-1 Bluetooth Operation>   Bluetooth operates based on the connection between “Master” and “Slave”.  Masters are simply supposed to do “Inquiry” and “Page”. Slaves are supposed to do “Inquiry Scan” and “Page Scan”.  If  a  Master  finds  a  Slave  and  so  “inquiry” is  successful,  a  Slave  responds  to  the  Master  with  its information.  Interconnection between the Master and the Slave is achieved only if the information from the Slave is corresponded with the Master, and the Slave sends data to the Master.

FB200AS-F User Guide Version 1.0 10 Connecting the wireless section of Bluetooth   Page 15 / 27  10 Connecting the wireless section of Bluetooth  In order for Bluetooth devices to transmit data to each other, the wireless section of Bluetooth should be connected to each other. To connect the wireless section, you should set each role for each device, one for a MASTER, another for a SLAVE. It takes about 1~10 sec that a Master is connected to a Slave. How to connect the wireless section of FB200AS-F can be performed with 2 significant ways.    Note :   The FB200 uses virtual COM port which shall be operated first before the Hyper Terminal is being used so that the config tool shall be operable normally. Please refer to the driver installation of Appendix D FB200 for the instructions of driver installation of FB200.  ※  We will use 2 FB200AS-F and MS Windows in describing procedures.      10.1 Connecting with Connection WIZARD (1) Connect FB200AS-F(1) to the USB port of PC, and turn the power on. (2) Execute C-Wizard Program.   <Figure 10-1 Connection Wizard Step 1>  (3) Click FIRMTECH SLAVE Set-up button (<Figure 10-1> Blue borders)
