Host System (DTE)
*DTR/DSR of Promi SD™ will be functioned for either Loop-back operation or
for full transfer. Users may select a function of DTR/DSR using AT command-
ATS14. Default value of ATS14 is 1.
 ATS14=1<cr>: Default setting. Users may use DTR/DSR lines for
communications
 ATS14=0<cr>: Users may use DTR/DSR lines for Loop-back only.
 ATS14?: To see current status of ATS14.
*Default setting of CD line in Promi SD is to show the status of Bluetooth
connection. If users want to use CD line to send CDC signal to the other side,
such as for connection between Promi SD and DCE device, users need to
configure ATS13.
 ATS13=0<cr>: Default setting. Users may use CDC line for checking
Bluetooth connection
 ATS13=1<cr>: Users may receive CDC signal from other Promi SD.
(This function will be available from future version of
PromiSDforDCEdevices)
 ATS13?: To see current status of ATS13.

2. Configuration
2.1 Using Promi-WIN™
With Promi SD™, Bluetooth wireless connections can be made to any Bluetooth
device supporting SPP (Serial Port Profile). Especially when using the Promi SD™
as a cable replacement, take advantage of the Promi SD™ automatic connection
feature. Once a pair of Promi SDs is set for this feature, they automatically connect
whenever powered up. A pair of Promi SD units, within their radio range, may be
used as a virtual RS-232 cable.
To make wireless connections between two Bluetooth devices, one device should be
in Discoverable (INQUIRY SCAN) and Connectable (PAGE SCAN) as well. Most
Bluetooth devices are set to Discoverable and Connectable in manufacture.
However, to maximize internal battery life, Promi SD INQUIRY SCAN and PAGE
SCAN are disabled. To make Promi SD respond to the INQUIRY and PAGE
operations of other Bluetooth devices, activate INQUIRY SCAN and PAGE SCAN.
Before making the first Bluetooth connection with SD units, be prepared with a pair of
SD units and also install the PromiWINTM program on the CD enclosed in the Promi
SDTM product package.

Configuration By Promi-WIN™
Please prepare two of the Promi SDs to make connection.
Let’s say 1st unit as ‘SD01’ and 2nd unit as ‘SD02’ in this guide book. Make sure that
power to both SD01 and SD02 are ALWAYS supplied, even when you detach from your
computer.
2.1.1 Let’s make SD01 to be discoverable/connectable.
In this procedure, SD01 will become discoverable/connectable to be able to receive
connection from SD02.
1-1. Attach SD01 to your PC, and start Promi-WIN™
1-2. Start PromiWIN™ then you will see a pop-up window for configuration of
PromiWIN™.
<Fig. 1.1>
1-3. Select the number of the Serial port where SD01 is attached as in the Fig. 1.1
above.
1-4. Users need to select exactly same Baud/Parity/StopBit as real settings of
attached SD01. 9600/No/OneStopBit are default initial settings of all of Promi SDs.
1-5. Press OK button when finished.

1-6. Open ‘Promi-WIN™->Start Configuration’ on the upper left menu.
Promi-WIN™ will bring the information on the attached SD01 as in Fig. 1.2
<Fig. 1.2>
1-7. Click the ‘Device Setting’ icon in the list control box. Users may change the Baud
rate/Parity/StopBit to meet their individual needs.
<Fig. 1.3>
1-8. Click the ‘Connection(in)’ icon in list control box. Check both options and then
click the START button as shown in Fig. 1.5.

<Fig. 1.5>
1-9. SD01 now became ‘Discoverable/Connectable’ so it can receive Bluetooth
connection from SD02. The STATUS LED of SD01 will blink green, twice every 3
seconds.
1-10. Detach SD01 from your computer, making sure its status LED is blinking green.
1-11. Close Promi-WIN™.
2.1.2 Let’s make SD02 to search SD01 and connect to.
2-1. Attach SD02 to your PC, and start Promi-WIN™.
2-2. Select the number of the Serial port where SD02.
2-3. Users need to select exactly same Baud/Parity/StopBit as the setting of attached
SD02. 9600/No/OneStopBit is default setting of all of Promi SDs.
2-4. Press OK button.
2-5. Select the ‘Connection(out)’ icon in the list control box and click the SEARCH
button.

2-6. Search SD01 from the searched list. Device Address of SD01 can be found on the
back side of SD01. If you find SD01, press Cancel button to finish searching.
Make sure that Status LED of SD01 is still blinking in Green color.
2-7. Please select SD01 from the searched list, then press CONNECT TO button.
2-8. You will get Successful Connection message.
2-9. Now, Status LEDs on Both SD01 and SD02 are Green, which means they are
connected.
2-10. Do not detach SD02 from your computer yet, we will go to next stage for Auto-
connection (Always-connection).

2.1.3 Let’s make Auto-Connection between SD01 and SD02.
3-1. With SD02 which is still attached to your computer, in Connection(out) page,
press DISCONNECT button at the bottom to release the connection for a while.
SD02 remembers who was the last-connected device, even after Disconnected.
3-2. Now, Status LEDs of SD02 becomes ‘Orange’, as well as SD01, as they are
disconnected.
3-3. Select Device Setting icon in the list control box, and select MODE1 in Operation
Mode and apply.

3-4. Now jobs for SD02 are finished. Detach SD02 from your computer.
3-5. Attach SD01 to your computer.
3-6. Restart Promi-WIN™.
3-7. Select Device Setting icon in the list control box, and select MODE2 in Operation
Mode and apply.
3-8. Now, detach SD01 from your computer.
3-9. Make sure that power to Both SD01 and SD02 are supplied.
With two of the SD01 and SD02, turn off both using Switch on the side of its body.
Then, turn on again Both SD01 and SD02 almost at the same time.
Now, you will see Green Status LEDs on both units.
SD01 and SD02 will be connected automatically, whenever, if configuration is not
changed.
