Alternative Product Configuration
1.12. Accessing the configuration menus and commands.
The adapter’s configuration menu is available at any time that there is no Bluetooth radio connection established with
another device (unless of course you have selected the option to disable the menu). As soon as a Bluetooth connection is
made, the data sent to the Adapter will be sent over the radio link to the remote device. A short time after the Bluetooth
connection is broken, the configuration menu’s become available again.
Sending a single “Carriage Return” (Enter) character to the Adapter whilst no Bluetooth connection exists will activate the
initial main menu, or typing the command required will initiate the appropriate response. Both the menu and command list
are documented further below.
The example given below to connect to the configuration menus is performed in Windows 8.1 using PuTTY, a terminal
application which can be downloaded from here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html. If
you are using a different version of Windows the specific steps to invoke and use the PuTTY application may be slightly
different.
First, connect the adapter to an available serial port on your computer. In this example, the COM3 port on the PC has been
used.
Ensure the power adapter is connected and switched on (the leftmost green LED on the Adapter should light.
When PuTTY is first opened, you will be presented with the
window shown here. You now need to input the COM port and
choose the port settings which you want to open the COM port
with. To do this, select the ‘Serial’ option on the left side of the
window (at the bottom of the list).
