4. Insert the CD driver into the CD-ROM drive, and browse to X: \ Bluetooth \

BTRS232.exe, where X is the designated CD-ROM drive. Double-click on the
BTRS232.exe file to begin configuration.

5. Select the PC COM Port to which the Bluetooth to Serial Adapter is connected.

If this is the first time you are configuring the Bluetooth to Serial Adapter, you can choose
the default Baud Rate : 115200. The local PC will use this baud rate to connect with your
Bluetooth to Serial Adapter.

6. Press the Connect Button on the adapter.

Please note: the connection will fail if the wrong COM port is connected or Baud Rate is
not set correctly.

Configuration: Role - Master or Slave (Default)
Depending on the applications, there are two states under which Bluetooth to Serial
Adapter can operate, while in DATA mode - Master and Slave. If you are using a USB
Bluetooth Dongle to pair with a Bluetooth to Serial adapter, then the Bluetooth to Serial
Adapter can be set to either Master or Slave state. If you are using two Bluetooth to
Serial Adapters paired together, one of them requires being set to Master and the other
needs to be set as Slave.

Master - Trying to link with other Bluetooth devices.

Slave - Waiting to be linked with other Bluetooth devices.

Master state :

If you choose this state, then you must enter the Bluetooth
MAC Address of the remote Bluetooth device (e.g.
000272463b86) with which this Bluetooth to Serial Adapter
will be paired and connected. Default is none.

Slave State (Default):

Discoverable (Default) - If Discoverable is enabled, the
Bluetooth to Serial Adapter can be found by searching for
Bluetooth Devices on the PC. If it is disabled, then it can
not be found. This feature will prevent other Bluetooth
hosts or devices from creating a link with it accidentally, if it
has previously been configured to pair with another device.
