`
`
`
`
`
`Thank you for purchasing an AIRcable. Your satisfaction is very important to us, so please read this guide
`before installing your AIRcable modules. We’d appreciate your feedback.
`
`For more information and instructions or for support please visit our website at http://www.aircable.net
`
`The AIRcable product is a Bluetooth to serial adapter for cable replacement functions with user accessible
`command line for configuration. The AIRcable product is Bluetooth 1.1 certified.
`
`AIRcable modules are intelligent and run firmware-based onboard Bluetooth connection software. There is
`no need to install and configure extra software to establish a wireless connection. Because the AIRcable is
`designed to replace physical connections, you can run the same software that would support a physical
`cable.
`
`Each module has a button accessible through a hole in the device which is used to pair two modules to become a point-to-point
`“Wireless Cable™”. During this pairing process, make sure no other Bluetooth device is discoverable within range (approx. 10 meters).
`
`Each module has one power LED (green) which shows that the firmware is running correctly and a connection LED (blue) that shows
`the status of a connection. The connection LED is on solid if a connection to another device is active. Otherwise it is blinking or it is off.
`
`The AIRcable Serial is fully Bluetooth 1.1 certified and is compatible with all other Bluetooth 1.1 compatible devices. The AIRcable
`Serial is compilant with RS-232 serial industrial standard EIA-232-E. There are two different versions available: The DTE has a Sub-D 9
`pin female connector and the DCE has a Sub-D 9 pin male adapter.
`
`The AIRcable Serial supports all modem control signals, including DTR, DSR, and DCD. Data flow control is implemented using
`RTS/CTS handshake. Data mode by default is 8 bit, no parity, one stop bit.
`
`NOTE: Because the devices implement hardware handshake, the RTS/CTS lines have to be connected or it must be switched
`off. If your device does not support hardware handshake you must switch off hardware handshake with the 4th switch on the AIRcable
`switch (down) in order for the AIRcable Serial to work properly.
`
`Pin 9 can also be used for powering the AIRcable Serial module. Apply 5-15V DC, plus to pin 9, GND is pin 5 instead of using an
`external power adapter.

`
`Configuration
`
`When you receive an AIRcable Serial, the device must be configured.
`
`AIRcable devices support these modes:
`
`(cid:122) Cable Mode
`(cid:122) Service Mode
`(cid:122) Manual Mode
`
`Cable Mode
`
`In cable-mode, two AIRcable devices are paired together and create a bond so no other device can interfere.
`
`To pair two AIRcables use this simple procedure:
`
`1. Press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds. The AIRcable module automatically configures itself and starts in slave mode.
`The power LED (green) will be on again and the connection LED (blue) starts flashing rapidly.
`2. Do this on both devices that are going to be paired.
`3. On one device press the pairing button again (short click) to change the mode to master.
`At this time the two devices will find each other, pair and establish a connection.
`4. The pairing information has been stored in flash and the two AIRcable modules will connect automatically when they are
`powered on. No other device can connect to either AIRcable.
`
`Advanced Modes
`
`The AIRcable Serial can be set into various advanced modes. Use the command line interface to change into these modes.
`
`(cid:122) Service-Slave mode
`(cid:122) Service-Master mode
`(cid:122) Manual mode
`
`Using the Command Line Interface
`
`The command line interface is available through the serial interface before the AIRcable device is connected. This means that the
`connection LED must be either blinking or off.
`
`The serial parameters for the command line interface are fixed at:
`• 115200 baud (AIRcable for Motorola is at 57600 baud)
`• no parity, one stop bit, 8 bit data, hardware handshake enabled
`
`Use a serial null-modem cable to plug the AIRcable Serial with a male type DB9 connector into a PC.
`
`Each command starts with a “^A” (control-A or 0x1) character, then follows one of the commands listed below in all caps letters and
`finishes with a single <CR> (carriage return or 0xd). The command has to be completed within 3 seconds. Otherwise the received
`characters are deleted and ignored. All commands respond with an "OK".
`
`Be aware that some commands in some states require the device to reset. They are marked with (*). This process will take a few
`seconds during which the AIRcable will not respond to any commands. The power light will go out briefly.
`
`
`Service-Slave Mode
`
`In the Service-Slave Mode, the AIRcable allows other Bluetooth devices to connect to it. This mode can be used to allow a Palm with
`Bluetooth or a Laptop with Bluetooth support to connect. The main advantage of this mode is that it allows several devices to connect
`to it as oppose to the previously described point-to-point cable modes.

`
`In order to switch the AIRcable module into “Service-Slave Mode” use the command line interface detailed below. This is just an
`example. Please adjust the commands to the situation you need, including your security needs.
`
` •
`
` Reset the AIRcable to the factory default value and delete all pairing information
`"^A Z <CR>
`• Change the name of the device
`”^A N AIRcable <CR>”: set the name to AIRcable. The name has to be exactly 8 characters long. Use spaces to fill up.
`• Configure the PIN number. Either a fixed 2-5 digit number or an automatically generated 5 digit ID that will be added to the name to
`uniquely identify multiple AIRcables.
`”^A P 1234 <CR>”: set pin number to 1234, require authentication
`”^A PU <CR>”: generate a unique 5 digit pin number and append it to the name
`”^A PD <CR>”: disable authentication, the AIRcable allows connection without PIN. It will keep the pin number and the name.
`• Configure the supported Bluetooth profiles (see details below):
`”^A DDS <CR>”, set discoverable SPP profile.
`• Switch to mode to “Service-Slave Mode”
`”^A A3 <CR>
`
`
`Service-Master Mode
`
`The Service-Master Mode is the counter part to the Service-Slave Mode. It can be used as a master to connect to several Bluetooth
`devices which are in range, one at a time. The advantage is that it does not require pairing or bonding with the other end. It is a truly
`automatic-connect to many other Bluetooth devices. Certainly you can configure automatic pairing with a PIN number of your choice.
`
`For example, it can connect to Bluetooth scanners without pairing it to a particular one. In this case the Service-Master AIRcable would
`be configured with the PIN number of the scanner (often “0000”) with authentication enabled and it will automatically connect to the
`first scanner it finds. You can change the scanner without changing the configuration.
`
`The Bluetooth Service-Master Mode can also be used to connect to a number of AIRcable devices in Service Mode. This is designed for
`field usage where the AIRcable Service modules are stationary and the AIRcable Master-Service is mobile going from one Service
`module to another. Again this is an example. Adjust to your needs.
`
`• Configure the PIN number that corresponds to the devices you want to connect to, either a fixed 2-5 digit number or an automatically
`generated 5 digit ID that will be added to the name to identify the AIRcable.
`”^A P 0000 <CR>”: set pin number to 0000, require authentication
`• Disable authentication if the devices you are connecting to don’t require authentication: “^A P D <CR>”
`• Switch to mode to “Service-Master Mode”
`”^A A4<CR>
`
`
`Manual Mode
`
`The manual mode is designed to give Bluetooth support to devices that cannot run a full Bluetooth stack. The command line interface
`is a collection of the simple most common Bluetooth commands. It allows the discovery of other devices, pairing, inbound slave and
`outbound master connections and disconnect by software.
`
`You should understand Bluetooth before you can use the manual mode. Please contact us if you have any questions.
`
`Disconnect by Software
`
`Once a connection is established the command line interface is no longer available since all input and output is routed through
`transparently to the other end.
`
`In this mode it is possible to disconnect a link programmatically. Depending on the type of device (DTE, DCE or USB) your software
`would disable either the DTR or the DSR line, whichever is an input on the AIRcable side.
`
`(cid:122) On the AIRcable Serial DCE (module with male type DB9 connector) the input pin is pin 6 of the DB9 connector (DSR). Once
`this pin becomes inactive, the connection is dropped.
`(cid:122) On the AIRcable Serial DTE (module with female type DB9 connector) the input pin is pin 4 of the DB9 connector (DTR). Once
`
`Cellspin Ex. 2001 - Pg. 4

`
`this pin becomes inactive, the connection is dropped.
`(cid:122) On the AIRcable USB module, the program should use the DTR line to disconnect the link.
`(cid:122) On the AIRcable for Motorola, close the port and it will automatically disable DTR and disconnect.
