1 Purpose
This getting started guide describes the setup of an Atmel®ATSAMB11 Xplained board and bringing up
an example profile supplied as part of the BluSDK SMART release. The Bluetooth®Phone Alert Status
Profile is an example application that is embedded as part of the software release package.
2 Demo Setup
3 Hardware Setup
Connect the ATSAMB11 board to the host PC using a Micro-USB cable.

4 Phone Alert Status Notifications
The Profile defines two roles; Phone Alert Server and Phone Alert Client. The Phone Alert Server is the
device that originates the alerts and the Phone Alert Client is the device that receives the alerts and alerts
the user.
The Phone Alert Client which is a GATT client, is the configuration that is implemented on the
ATSAMB11.
The example application utilizes the SW0 button on the ATSAMB11 to demonstrate the notification use-
cases. A BLE compatible Android device running Atmel SmartConnect mobile application provides the
Phone Alert Server (PAS Server) functionality in this example. On the application, once the service is
discovered and the user clicks on PAS service, notifications are enabled.
1. Post connection with mobile device, the first button press will put the PAS server to ‘Silent’ mode.
2. The second button press, the device will be set to ‘Mute’ State.
3. The third button press, will turn the device back to ‘Normal’ Mode.
4. The fourth button press issues a ‘Read Characteristic’ request that will read the characteristics of
‘Alert Status’, ‘Ringer Settings’ and ‘Ringer Control Point’.
Note: iOS devices like iPhone®do not natively support Phone Alert Status profile. This demo/example
will only work with BLE compatible Android devices running Atmel SmartConnect mobile
application.

6 Console Logging
For the purpose of debugging, a logging interface has been implemented in the Phone Alert Status
Application.
The logging interface utilizes the same EDBG port that connects to ATSAMB11. A serial port monitor
application (for example TeraTerm) shall be opened and attached to the corresponding COM port
enumerated on the PC by the device with a baud rate of 115200.
7 Running the Demo
1. Power on the ATSAMB11 by connecting the USB cable.
2. Open a console window using TeraTerm or any equivalent serial port monitor application and
connect to the corresponding COM port enumerated on the PC. Configure the COM Port with the
following settings: Baudrate 115200, Parity None, one Stop bit, one Start bit, no Hardware
Handshake.
3. Press the Reset button on the ATSAMB11 board.
4. The device is now in advertising mode.

5. On a BLE compatible Android phone enable Bluetooth in the Settings page. Use the Atmel
SmartConnect App and scan for devices. ATMEL-PAS will appear amongst the devices scanned.
Click on ATMEL-PAS to connect to the ATSAMB11 device.
