6.5 Bluetooth® Setup and Config Procedure
A Bluetooth USB dongle is shipped with every TD30 system. This dongle is
tested to work with the TD unit and can be used if your Computer/Notebook has
no built in integrated Bluetooth Hardware. Since there are various ways to use
and configure Bluetooth under Windows operating systems, the following
procedures are provided to setup and use Bluetooth wireless TD measurement
system. You will need Administrator Privileges to install the drivers on certain
secure networks.
Communication Parameters for Bluetooth Setup (Advanced Users)
• Bluetooth v1.1 compliant
• Serial Port Profile, only this profile and the corresponding
outbound COM port needed
• COM 3 to COM30 are supported
• Secure and unsecure communication and pairing supported
• Passkey used is “welcome”, lowercase, (for pairing this is also the PIN-
code)
To install the communication three steps have to be done
• Step 1: Installation of Bluetooth driver support on your computer (if not
already built-in)
• Step 2: Configure Bluetooth support (Initial usage, only has do be done
once)
• Step 3-A/B: Setting up the TD Communication Port
A: With use of External Dongle or B: Windows Supported Hardware
There are 2 different ways to set up a communication port, one is with
Windows directly supported, one is using the external dongle. See below
which procedure is to use with your computer.
Check Bluetooth Hardware
First check if your computer has a built in Bluetooth communications hardware
like most of the newer Notebooks have. Normally they are then already
configured to use Bluetooth.
In this case you will not need to use the external USB dongle nor should you
install the Bluetooth driver CD supplied.
If you are not sure if Bluetooth is installed and running please check with your
system administrator to verify if Bluetooth is supported on your computer
system.
Installed drivers show a white on blue B-Icon in the system tray on the right
bottom side of the desktop (Taskbar). Some Notebooks have separate
pushbuttons to switch it on/off.
If Bluetooth is already supported you can go directly to Step 3-B Setting up TD
Communication (Windows supported). If your system uses a different driver as
shown in this manual use the above mentioned parameters to set up
Communication.
