What is Bluetooth?
1. Features of Bluetooth
1) Objectives of Bluetooth : To Realize Wireless Communication for Short Distance with Low
Power Consumption, High Reliability, and Low Cost.
2) Frequency in Use: To Use ISM(Industrial, Scientific, Medical) Band which does not require
any permission to use.
- 2.400 – 2.4835 GHz, 79 channels
- 2.465 – 2.4835 GHz, 23 channels (in France)
3) Transmission Rate : 1Mbps ~ 3Mbps
4) Transmission Output : 1mW(10m, Class2), 100mW(100m Class1)
5) Network Configuration : Configured with Master and Slave relation. A Bluetooth unit shall
allow simultaneous connections up to 7 devices (in case of ACL).
6) Reliability : To Guarantee stable wireless communication even under severe noisy
environment through adopting the technique of FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum).
2. Operation of Bluetooth
<Figure 0-1 Operation of Bluetooth>
1) Once the Master will inquire the Slave, the Slave will respond to the inquiry to the Master.
2) When the information of Slave will agree with that of the Master, the interconnection will be
achieved to transmit the data.

5-1-3 Connection Diagram with 1:N Function
<Figure 5-4 : Connection Diagram with 1:N Function>
Note : If Flow Control is not required, communication can be achieved with only RX, TX, and
GND connected to the Host.
For 1:N communication, connection of STREAM CONTROL(DSR) and STREAM STATUS(DTR) are
necessarily required. MESSAGE CONTROL(CTS) and MESSAGE STATUS(RTS) is used for the
confirmation of the accurate information.
In 1:N communication, if all connection is successful, CONNECT CHECK(DCD) in SLAVE Device
is outputted HIGH signal. However, if one or more of connections is disconnected, CONNECT
CHECK(DCD) in SLAVE will be outputted LOW signal. (Default CONNECT CHECK(DCD) Output :
LOW)

8 How to complete PC Configuration?
The Baud rate or Role is selectable using Dip Switch. (In case, CONNECTION MODE is not
MODE4.)
For other setting values, you can establish the setting using PC Configuration.
PC Configuration can be performed with two significant ways.
First is to use Configuration tool provided by FIRMTECH Co., Ltd.
Second is to use the serial communication programs such as Hyper Terminal or Mincom
provided by OS.
The ways to configure are as follows respectively.
Note : The BM2001 uses virtual COM port which shall be operated first before the Hyper
Terminal is being used so that the config tool shall be operable normally. Please refer to the
driver installation of Appendix BM2001 for the instructions of driver installation of BM2001.
8-1 PC Configuration using Config tool
(1) Please provide BMx001 with power, then check if the Status LED of BMx001 is flickering or
not. If red LED is flickering, turn off the power and set the fourth of FUNCTION Dip-Switch at
OFF position.
(2) Please connect BMx001 to the serial port of PC, and turn the power on to execute the
Config tool.
<Figure 8-1 config tool main display>
(3) Select main “CONNECT” (<Figure 8-1> Outlined Blue) on main display.
