8. Operation Mode User uses the FB900AS to connect between two bluetooth devices normally. The bluetooth device’s role is one of Master and Slave normally. Between two bluetooth devices to communicate, one should be a Master and opposite side should be a Slave. In this case FB900AS’s operation mode is should be MODE1 to connect with them. Sometimes the bluetooth devices to connect with FB900AS are slave. In this case FB900AS’s operation mode is should be MODE2 to connect with them. 8.
6) After establish the connection, CHANNEL_1 LED is ON. 7) Power on the BM1001 is Slave mode. 8) FB900AS’s CHANNEL_2 LED is blinking. It means that FB900AS try to connect with BM1001 (Slave mode device). 9) After establish the connection, CHANNEL_2 LED is ON. 10) After finish the connection, BM1001 output “BT-Bridge Connection OK” message. [2] Several FB900AS and two BM1001s this is the Bluetooth Link chain.
4) Set the flow control of FB900AS① and FB900AS② as on. When the flow control is on, it does not output “BT-Bridge Connection OK” message. 5) After setting, power off them and their PIN3 is off. 6) Power on FB900AS①. 7) Power on BM1001 is Master mode. 8) After FB900AS① CHANNEL_1 is connected, power on FB900AS②. 9) After FB900AS② CHANNEL_1 is connected, power on FB900AS③ 10) After FB900AS③ CHANNEL_1 is connected, power on BM1001 is slave mode.
8.2 Operation Mode2 When BM1001s are slave, FB900AS should be Operation Mode2. User can not use the multi connection (Link Chain) with FB900AS at Operation Mode2. It also not supports the remote control feature. MODE2’s advantage The connection time is faster than MODE1. And the connection status is stable than MODE1. FB900AS OP2 ① BM1001 ROLE SLAVE ② BM1001 ROLE SLAVE [운영모드 MODE2의 접속 형태] 1) Set the PIN1 and 2 of FB900AS as ON. 2) Set the pin code of BM1001 as “BTWIN” 3) Power on BM1001s.
9. Remote Control FB900AS provided the remote control features. User can access the FB900AS to change its parameters at remote site with Bluetooth serial device. If FB900AS is located in the position of difficult access, user can control and set the parameters of FB900AS through this feature. When using this feature, the access delay time is about 2 seconds. To enable the remote control feature, set the PIN4 of FB900AS as ON. 9.1 Change the Target device address at remote site.
It will request two answers. Question Answer Login “admin”+ Enter key Password “BTWIN”+ Enter key [Remote Control Menu] Now, user can change the parameters of FB900AS.
