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 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.

AIRcable User Manual Page 3 of 7 Configuration When you receive an AIRcable Serial, the device must be configured. AIRcable devices support these modes: z z z Cable Mode Service Mode 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. 2. 3. 4. Press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds. The AIRcable module automatically configures itself and starts in slave mode.

AIRcable User Manual Page 4 of 7 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 • Change the name of the device ”^A N AIRcable ”: set the name to AIRcable. The name has to be exactly 8 characters long. Use spaces to fill up.
