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.

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.

IRcable modules are intelligent and run firmware-based onboard Bluetooth connection software. There is no need t

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.

Baudrate Selection and Switches The AIRcable Serial provides switches accessible from the top to select the baud rate. Switch up is on or '1'. Down means off or '0'. The 4th switch is for hardware handshake. Up means hardware handshake is switched on, down means off.

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.

“A” Display automatic mode (manual=0, master=1, slave=2, service=3, service-master=4) “A0” Manual mode “A1” Cable-slave mode. The AIRcable becomes discoverable and will be in pairing mode if no pairing information has been stored. Then it will be not discoverable and will allow connections only from the paired partner. In this mode, only the SPP profile is active. “A2” Cable-master mode: do inquiry first, then pairing with the configured PIN number, then connect as master (not discoverable).
