needs of developers who wish to add robust, short range Bluetooth data connectivity to their products. They
are based on the market leading Cambridge Silicon Radio BC04 chipset, providing exceptionally low power
consumption with outstanding range. They support the latest Bluetooth® Version 2.1 Specication, providing
the important advantage of Secure Simple Pairing, which improves security and enhances the ease of use for
end customers.
With physical sizes as small as 12.5 x 18.0mm and best of class, low-power operation, these modules are the ideal
choice for applications where designers need both performance and minimum size. For maximum exibility in
systems integration, the modules are designed to support a separate power supply for I/O.
To aid product development and integration, Laird Technologies has integrated a complete Bluetooth protocol
stack within the modules, including support for the Bluetooth Serial Port Prole. The modules are fully qualied as
Bluetooth End Products, allowing designers to integrate them within their own products with no further Bluetooth
Qualication. They can then list and promote their products on the Bluetooth website free of charge.
Future releases include support for the Bluetooth Health Device Prole, making this module the ideal choice for
manufacturers who are developing Continua Health Alliance
compliant devices.
A comprehensive AT command interface is included, which simplies rmware integration. Combined with a low
cost developers kit, this ensures that the choice of Laird Technologies Bluetooth modules guarantees the fastest
route to market.

Bluetooth® AT Data Module
INTRODUCTION
This document describes the protocol used to control and congure the BT Data Bluetooth device.
The protocol is similar to the industry standard Hayes AT protocol used in telephony modems which is
appropriate for cable replacement scenarios, as both types of devices are connection oriented. The telephony
commands have been extended to make the device perform the two core actions of a Bluetooth device, which
is make/break a connection and Inquiry. Many other AT commands are also provided to perform
ancillary functions, such as, pairing, trusted device database management and S Register maintenance.
Just like telephony modems, the device powers up in an unconnected state and will only respond via
the serial interface. In this state the device will not even respond to Bluetooth Inquiries. Then, just like
controlling a modem, the host can issue AT commands which map to various Bluetooth activities. The
command set is extensive enough to allow a host to make connections which are authenticated and/or
encrypted or not authenticated and/or encrypted or any combination of these. Commands can be saved,
so that on a subsequent power up the device is discoverable or automatically connects.
The device has a serial interface which can be congured for baud rates from 1200 up to 921600 (default
setting is 9600) and an RF communications end point. The latter has a concept of connected and unconnected
modes and the former will have a concept of command and data modes. This leads to the matrix of states
shown below.
RF UNCONNECTED RF CONNECTED
Local Command Mode OK OK
Remote Command Mode ILLEGAL OK
Data Mode ILLEGAL OK
The combinations, ‘Data and RF Unconnected Mode’ and ‘Remote Command and RF Unconnected Mode’
do not make sense and will be ignored.
Navigation between these states is done using the AT commands which are described in detail in
subsequent sections.

Bluetooth® AT Data Module
AT COMMAND SET
Assumptions
The CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) Bluecore chipset in Laird Technologies devices is memory resource limited.
Therefore it is NOT proposed that there be full implementation of the AT protocol as seen in modems. The
claim made for this device is that it will have a protocol similar to an AT modem. In fact, the protocol is similar
enough so that existing source code written for modems, can be used with very little modication with a Laird
Technologies device.
Therefore the following assumptions are made:
1. All commands are terminated by the carriage return character 0x0D, which is represented by the
string <cr> in descriptions below this cannot be changed.
2. All responses from the device have carriage return and linefeed characters preceding and
appending the response. These dual character sequences have the values 0x0D and 0x0A respectively
and shall be represented by the string <cr,lf>.
3. All Bluetooth addresses are represented by a xed 12 digit hexadecimal string, case insensitive.
4. All Bluetooth Device Class codes are represented by a xed 6 digit hexadecimal string, case insensitive.
Commands
This section describes all available AT commands. Many commands require mandatory parameters and some
take optional parameters. These parameters are either integer values, strings, Bluetooth addresses or device
classes. The following convention is used when describing the various AT commands.
<bd_addr> A 12 character Bluetooth address consisting of ASCII characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘F’ and ‘a’ to ‘f’.
<devclass> A 6 character Bluetooth device class consisting of ASCII characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘F’ and ‘a’ to ‘f’.
N A positive integer value.
M An integer value which could be positive or negative, which can be entered as a decimal value or
in hexadecimal if preceded by the ‘$’ character. E.g. the value 1234 can also be entered as $4D2
<string> A string delimited by double quotes. E.g. “Hello World”. The “ character MUST be supplied as delimiters.
<uuid> A 4 character UUID number consisting of ASCII characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘F’ and ‘a’ to ‘f’.
1. ^^^ {Enter Local Command Mode}
When in data and connected mode, the host can force the device into a command and connected
mode so that AT Commands can be issued to the device. The character in this escape sequence is
specied in the S2 register, so can be changed. In addition, the escape sequence guard time is
specied by S Register 12. By default the guard time is set to 100 milliseconds. Please refer to
Section 5: Dropping Connections for more related information.
In modems this escape sequence is usually “+++”. “^^^” is specied to avoid confusion when the
module is providing access to a modem.
Response:<cr,lf>OK<cr,lf>
2. !!! {Enter Remote Command Mode}
When in data and connected mode, the host can force the remote device into a command and
connected mode so that AT Commands can be issued to the device remotely. The escape sequence
guard time is specied by S Register 12 and is the same as per the ^^^ escape sequence. By default
the guard time is set to 100 milliseconds. The remote device issues ATO as normal to return to data
mode. (Refer to step 12)
For this command to be effective S Register 536 must be set to 1.
Response:<cr,lf>OK<cr,lf>

3. AT
Used to check the module is available.
Response:<cr,lf>OK<cr,lf>
4. ATA {Answer Call}
Accept an incoming connection, which is indicated by the unsolicited string
<cr,lf>RING 123456789012<cr,lf> every second. 123456789012 is the Bluetooth address of the
connecting device.
Response: <cr,lf>CONNECT 123456789012<cr,lf>
5. ATD<U><Y><bd_addr>,<uuid> {Make Outgoing Connection}
Make a connection to device with Bluetooth address <bd_addr> and SPP prole <uuid>. The <uuid>
is an optional parameter which species the UUID of the prole server to attach to, and if not supplied
then the default UUID from S Register 101 is used. As this is a device which utilises the RFCOMM
layer as described in the Bluetooth specication, it necessarily implies that only proles based on
RFCOMM can be accessed.
If <U> is not specied, then authentication is as per register 500, otherwise the connection will
be authenticated.
If <Y> is not specied, then encryption is as per register 501, otherwise the connection will have
encryption enabled.
The timeout is specied by S register 505.
Response:<cr,lf>CONNECT 123456789012<cr,lf>
Or <cr,lf>NO CARRIER<cr,lf>
Due to a known issue in the Bluetooth RFCOMM stack, it is not possible to make more than 65525
outgoing connections in a single power up session. Therefore if that number is exceeded, then the
connection attempt will fail with the following response:-
Response:<cr,lf>CALL LIMIT
Or <cr,lf>NO CARRIER<cr,lf>
In that case, issuing an ATZ to reset the device will reset the count to 0 and more connections
are possible.
The following RFCOMM based UUIDs are dened in the Bluetooth Specication:-
PROFILE NAME UUID
Serial Port 0x1101
LAN Access Using PPP 0x1102
Dialup Networking 0x1103

CONFIGURING
THE BTM410/411 I11 The reason why a “NO CARRIER” resulted in the most recent attempt at making an outgoing connection.
Where the response values are as follows:
0 = No prior connection
1 = Connection timeout
2 = Connection attempt cancelled
3 = Normal disconnection
4 = Peer device has refused connection
5 = Service prole <uuid> requested not available on remote device
6 = Connection has failed
32 = ATH was entered
33 = Incoming connection aborted because too many rings
34 = Unexpected incoming connection
35 = Invalid address
36 = DSR is not asserted
37 = Call limit of 65531 connections has been reached
38 = Pairing in progress
39 = No link key
40 = Invalid link key
255 = Unknown Reason
I12 The last ERROR response number.
I13 The Sniff status is returned as follows:-
Response: <cr,lf>a:b,c,d,e<cr,lf>OK<cr,lf>
Where ‘a’ = 0 when not online and 1 when online and Sniff has been enabled, ‘b’ is the Sniff Attempt
parameter, ‘c’ is the Sniff timeout parameter, ‘d’ is the minimum sniff interval and ‘e’ is the maximum
sniff interval. All parameters ‘b’, ’c’, ’d’ and ‘e’ are given as Bluetooth slots which are 625 microseconds
long converted from values of S Registers 561, 562, 563 and 564 respectively.
I14 The current boot mode (Only for rmware 1.18.0 and newer)
I15 The maximum length of an AT command, including the terminating carriage return
(only for rmware 1.6.10 and newer)
I16 The size of AT command input buffer
I20 Returns the number of bytes pending to be sent in the rf buffer when a connection is up.
I33 Version number of Multipoint application (Note: ATI is provided for compatibility in multipoint mode,
other AT commands are not available).
I42 State information. Where the response values are as follows:
13 = NotOpen
14 = OpenIdle
15 = Ringing
16 = OnlineCommand
172 to 177 = waiting for connectable and/or discoverable where the lowest signicant digit equates to
the value stored in S Register 512 or 555.
Note when n=16, ATI9 will return 1.
I101 The RSSI value in dBm. If a connection does NOT exist then a value of -32786 is returned. A value of 0
means the RSSI is within the golden range this is quite a large band, therefore RSSI is not always a useful
indicator. Use ATI111 instead which returns the bit error rate.
I111 Returns LinkQual which in the CSR chipset is dened as BER (bit error rate). This returns a value which
is the number of bits in error out of 1 million. Hence a value of 0 is best, and larger values are worse.
As the value approaches 1000 (BER = 0.1%) it is an indication that the link is very bad and a large
number of Bluetooth packets are being lost.

Bluetooth® AT Data Module
REGISTER DEFAULT RANGE COMMENT
S0 1 -1..15 Number of RING indication before automatically answering an incoming
connection. A value of 0 disables autoanswer. If -1, then autoanswer on
one RING and do NOT send RING/CONNECT response to the host. This
emulates a serial cable replacement situation.
Setting values >= 0, resets S Register 504 to 0 and <0 forces 504 to 1.
If S0 <> 0 and S100 <> 0 then S0 must be < S100. If a value is entered
which violates this rule, then ERROR 29 is sent in response.
If S504 =1 then this register will return -1, regardless of the actual value
stored in non-volatile memory.
S2 0x5E 0x20..0x7E Escape sequence character. It is not ‘+’ by default as a Bluetooth serial link
can be used to connect to a mobile phone which exposes an AT command set,
which will in turn use ‘+’ as default. So if both used ‘+’ there will be confusion.
0x5e is the character ‘^’.
S12 100 40..5000 Escape sequence guard time in milliseconds, with a granularity of 20ms.
New values are rounded down to the nearest 20ms multiple
S100 15 0..15 Number of RING indications before an auto disconnection is initiated. A value
of 0 disables this feature.
If S0 <> 0 and S100 <> 0 then S0 must be < S100. If a value is entered which
violates this rule, then ERROR 29 is sent in response.
S101 $1101 0..$ffff UUID of default SPP based prole when not specied explicitly in the
ATD command.
S102 1 1 Denes a set of bits masks for enabling prole servers. Values can be ORed.
1 is the default and only value allowed for this module which enables Serial
Port Prole
S103 1 1..7 Boot Mode on cold boot.
S126 ? 0 .. 0xFFFF Primer for changing to Multipoint mode
S127 ? 0 .. 0xFFFF 0x100 for At mode
0x200 for Multipoint mode
Other values are reserved
S500 0 0..1 Authentication for outgoing connections. Set to 1 to Enable Authentication.
S501 0 0..1 Encryption for outgoing connections. Set to 1 to Enable Encryption.
S502 0 0..1 Authentication for incoming connections. Set to 1 to Enable Authentication.
S503 0 0..1 Encryption for incoming connections. Set to 1 to Enable Encryption.
For recognised values of n. All other values of n will generate an error.
Response:<cr,lf>As Appropriate<cr,lf>OK<cr,lf>
Or
Response:<cr,lf>ERROR nn<cr,lf>
11. ATO {Enter Data Mode} (letter ‘o’)
Return to data mode. Assume that the module is in data mode after OK is received. Responds with an
error if there is no Bluetooth connection.
Response:<cr,lf> CONNECT 123456789012<cr,lf>
Or
Response:<cr,lf>ERROR nn<cr,lf>
12. ATSn=m {Set S Register}
As with modems, the Bluetooth module employs a concept of registers which are used to store
parameters, such as escape sequence character, inquiry delay time etc, as listed in detail below.
The value part ‘m’ can be entered as decimal or hexadecimal. A hexadecimal value is specied via a ‘$’
leading character. For example $1234 is a hexadecimal number.
When S register values are changed, the changes are not stored in non-volatile memory UNTIL the
AT&W command is used. Note that AT&W does not affect S registers 520 to 525 or 1000 to 1010
as they are updated in non-volatile memory when the command is received.

REGISTER DEFAULT RANGE COMMENT
S504 0 0..1 Setting to 1 will force S0 to -1 and will suppress messages arising from
connections or pairing. E.g. CONNECT, NO CARRIER, RING, PAIR etc.
Suppressing connection based messaged allows the device to be
congured in cable replacement mode.
S505 10 2..120 Minimum delay before abandoning connection attempt as a master.
Referenced by ATD. In units of seconds. See S Registers 530 and 543 also.
Please note that as disconnection time can vary, this register only guarantees
the minimum delay. Note that for invalid addresses specied in the ATD
command, the “NO CARRIER” response will be immediate. See S register
560 for specifying disconnect max timeout.
S506 1 0..1 Enable/Disable echoes. The ATEn command also affects this.
S507 0 0..2 When set to 0, a connection can be dropped using ^^^ escape sequence
only and the state of DSR line is ignored.
When set to 1 a connection can be dropped using EITHER the ^^^ escape
sequence OR the DSR handshaking line. When set to 2, a connection can
only dropped using a deassertion of DSR. Mode 2 provides for the highest
data transfer rate.
If the status of the DSR line is to be conveyed to the remote device as a low
bandwidth signal then this register MUST be set to 0, otherwise a deassertion
of DSR will be seen as a request to drop the Bluetooth connection.
This register affects S Register 536 – see details of 536
For the Go blue Activator variant this can only be set to 0.
S508 640 10..2550 Page Scan Interval in milliseconds. Minimum is 11.25ms so 10/11ms
will give 11.25ms.
S509 320 10..2550 Page Scan Window in milliseconds. Minimum is 11.25ms so 10/11ms
will give 11.25ms.
S510 640 10..2550 Inquiry Scan Interval in milliseconds. Minimum is 11.25ms so 10/11ms
will give 11.25ms.
S511 320 10..2550 Inquiry Scan Window in milliseconds. Minimum is 11.25ms so 10/11ms
will give 11.25ms.
S512 1 0..7 Specify power up state.
When set to 0, AT+BTO is required to open the device for Bluetooth activity.
When set to 1, it proceeds to a state as if AT+BTO was entered.
When set to 2, it will be discoverable only, similar to issuing AT+BTQ.
When set to 3, it will be connectable but not discoverable e.g. AT+BTG
When set to 4, it will be connectable and discoverable e.g. AT+BTP.
When set to 5, it will be like 2, but all UART RX trafc is discarded in absence
of a connection while DSR is asserted. If DSR is not asserted, then it behaves
exactly as per mode 2.
When set to 6, it will be like 3, but all UART RX trafc is discarded in absence
of a connection while DSR is asserted. If DSR is not asserted, then it behaves
exactly as per mode 3.
When set to 7, it will be like 4, but all UART RX trafc is discarded in absence
of a connection while DSR is asserted. If DSR is not asserted, then it behaves
exactly as per mode 4.
Note that by implication, a change to this can only be seen after a power
cycle AND if AT&W is actioned prior to the power cycle.
If S Reg 554 is non-zero and this register is between 2 and 7 inclusive, then
the value of S554 species the time in seconds that the device will remain in
the specied mode after power up. On timeout, the device will fall back to
the mode specied in S Register 555.
S512 continued….
In some rmware builds, S Registers 565 to 569 inclusive are visible, which
allows the start-up mode to depend on the state of RI line (Setting S Reg 565
forces the RI pin to be congured as an input). For this feature to be active,
SReg 565 should be set to 1. In that case, on start-up, if RI is asserted, then
the start-up mode is dened by S Reg 566 and if deasserted then S Reg 567.
S513 1 0..1 Pairing Authentication, 1 = Enable
S514 10 1..60 Pairing Timeout in seconds. This includes the time a host takes to supply the
PIN number when PIN? messages are indicated.

The seventh most signicant digit, can be 0,1 or 2, and is used to specify
the type of device class lter.
When 0, it species no ltering.
When 1, it species an AND mask and all 24 bits are relevant
When 2, it species a lter to look for devices with matching major device

AT+BTI command
S518 8 0..255 Maximum number of responses from an inquiry request. This parameter
is reference by the AT+BTI command. If this number is set too high, then
AT+BTI will return ERROR 27. For a particular rmware revision, determine
the effective maximum value by trial and error. That is, set to a high value,
send AT+BTI and if ERROR 27 is returned, then retry with a smaller value.
This effective max value will remain unchanged for that particular
rmware build.
S519 500 100..6000 When S507>0, and in a connection, DSR can be used to change from data
to command state by deasserting the DSR line for less than the time specied
in this register. This value is rounded down to the nearest 100ms
S520 9600 1200..115200 Change to a standard baud rate. The effect is immediate and in fact the OK
will be sent at the new baud rate. Only one of the following baud rates are
accepted: 1200,2400,4800,9600,19200,28800,38400,57600,115200.
S521 See
Comment
1200..921600 Change baud rate to non-standard value. Laird Technologies’ modules support
any baud rate. The only limitation is the integer arithmetic involved, which may
adjust the applied rate slightly. If the internally computed baud rate is more
than 2% offset from the desired input value, then an ERROR will be returned
and the old baud rate will prevail. To inspect the actual baud rate, do ATS521?
S521 should only be used for non-standard baud rates. For standard baud
rates use S520.
The effect is immediate and in fact the OK will be sent at the new baud rate.
In the event that a non-standard baud rate is requested, it is entirely possible
that the host is not capable of generating such a baud rate. In this case the
device cannot be communicated with. If this happens, there is a
procedure to recover from this situation which is described in section titled
“Factory Default Mode”
S522 1 1 1 = CTS/RTS hardware handshaking enabled

S526 3 1..3 This register species a 2 bit mask used to qualify how S Registers 520 to 524
are actioned.
When bit 0 is 1, the new comms parameter affects the UART immediately.
When bit 1 is 1, the new comms parameter is stored in non-volatile memory
So for example, to change comms parameters, but have them come into effect
only after subsequent power cycles, then this register should be set to 2, and
likewise to affect immediately and yet not have it persist over a power cycle,
the value should be set to 1. Must be set before the baud rate change.

S531 0 0..5 Species the mode on connection establishment.
0 = Normal, that data is exchanged between UART and RF
1 = LOCAL_COMMAND. UART input is parsed by the AT interpreter and RF
data is discarded
2 = REMOTE_COMMAND. RF input is parsed by the AT interpreter and UART
data is discarded. If S Reg 536 is not 1 then this register cannot be set to
2 and an ERROR will be returned
3 = LOCAL_COMMAND. UART input is parsed by the AT interpreter and
incoming RF data is sent to the host using the RX<string>
asynchronous response.
4 = LOCAL_COMMAND and on the rf side, the gpio is automatically sent when
there is a change in input. See section 9.5 for more details.
5 = DEAMON mode
S532 0 0..7 If non zero then on every connection, a SCO channel (audio) will be initiated.
Bit 0 for HV1, Bit1 for HV2 and Bit2 for HV3. When the connection is lost,
the SCO channel disappears along with it.
S533 1 0..2 If set to 1 then GPIO5 follows RI state, if set to 2 then it follows the state of
DSR and if 0 it is not driven and GPIO5 is available as a user I/O.
This register will not necessarily be effective immediately after changing the
value. It must be saved to non-volatile memory using AT&W and will operate
as expected after an ATZ or a power cycle.
S534 1 0..2 When set to 0, GPIO4 is available as user i/o
If set to 1 then GPIO4 follows DCD state. If set to 2 then GPIO4 behaves as
per setting 1, but in addition, when not in a connection, if the device is
connectable or discoverable, then GPIO4 will blink.
This register will not necessarily be effective immediately after changing the
value. It must be saved to non-volatile store using AT&W and will operate as
expected after an ATZ or a power cycle.
S535 20 0..41 Link Supervision Timeout. If units go out of range, then a NO CARRIER message
will be sent to the host after the time specied here
S536 0 0..1 When set to 1, a remote device can ‘capture’ the AT parser of this unit by it
sending this module an escape “!!!” sequence. The inter character timing is
set via S Register 12.
If S Register 507 is >= 2, then reading this register will always return 0 and
writing 1 will result in ERROR 33.
S538 0 0..1 If 1, then when a successful pairing occurs, it is automatically saved in the
trusted device database – if it has room to store it.
S539 0 0..1 When set to 1, in idle mode (S512=1), UART Rx characters are discarded if
DSR is deasserted.
S540 0 0 48..127 Sets the MTU in L2CAP conguration negotiations. The value of 0 is a special
value which is taken to mean that the current value should remain.
S541 6 -50..6 This sets the power level in dBm when inquiring or paging. Reading this register
returns the value stored in non-volatile memory.
S542 6 -50..6 As per S541, however reading this register returns the current power level as
set in the base band. The read can be different from S541because the actual
power is set using a lookup table and the base band rounds down to the
nearest value in the table.
S543 0 0..1 If this is set to 1, then incoming pairing attempts will be accepted (if a pin code
has been pre-entered using AT+BTK) while in the wait phase of auto connect
cycle initiated by the AT+BTR command. In addition to accepting pairing
attempts, if the pairing is successful, then the new device is automatically set
as the peer address for automatic connections (as if an explicit AT+BTR
command was entered).
See S Register 505 and 530 also
S544 1 0..1 Congure the UART for either low latency or maximum throughput. A setting
of 1 gives maximum throughput.

REGISTER DEFAULT RANGE COMMENT
S551 0x3211 0xFFFF This register species in each 4 bit nibble, how the outgoing modem status bits
to the remote peer gets its value. Bluetooth allows for RTR, RTC, DV and IC bits
to be exchanged over an RFCOMM connection.
Nibble 0..3 species the source for RTC
4..7 species the source for RTR
8..11 species the source for DV (i.e. DCD)
12..15 species the source for IC (i.e. RI)
Each nibble can take the following value:-
0 Always set to 0
1 Always set to 1
2 If DCD (pin 8 on module connector) is output then always 1
If DCD is input then 1 if DCD is asserted otherwise 0
3 If RI (pin 6) is output then always 0
If RI is input then 1 if RI is asserted otherwise 0
4 If DSR (pin 10) is asserted then 1 otherwise 0
In the event that a nibble species DSR as the source of its state, be aware
that if, S Register 507 is anything other than 0, a de-assertion of DSR will
cause the Bluetooth connection to be dropped.
If bits 0..3 and 4..7 are set to 0, then some Bluetooth devices will use that
as a signal to stop sending any data back. For example, Nokia 6310
stops responding.
If this register is changed while in command and connected mode, then on
going back online using the ATO command, a fresh signal will be sent to
the peer to update the bits.
S552 0x0122 0x0FFF This register species in each 4 bit nibble, how the DTR, DCD, RI output pins
are controlled when in a Bluetooth connection
Nibble 0..3 species the source for DTR
4..7 species the source for DCD
8..11 species the source for RI
Each nibble can take the following value:-
0 Do NOT touch the I/O
1 Always deassert
2 Always assert
3 If RTC bit in CONTROL_IND is 1 then assert otherwise deassert
4 If RTR bit in CONTROL_IND is 1 then assert otherwise deassert
5 If DV bit in CONTROL_IND is 1 then assert otherwise deassert
6 If IC bit in CONTROL_IND is 1 then assert otherwise deassert
If this register is changed while in command and connected mode, then on
going back online using the ATO command, the modem output lines will
get refreshed.
S553 0x0201 0x0FFF This register species in each 4 bit nibble, how the DTR,DCD,RI output pins
are controlled when NOT in a Bluetooth connection
Nibble 0..3 species the source for DTR
4..7 species the source for DCD
8..11 species the source for RI
In addition it also refers to S Register 552 to see if the relevant pin is an input
or not to be touched. If the nibble in 552 is 0, then the relevant pin is an input.
Each nibble can take the following value:-
0 Always deassert
1 Always assert
2 Assert if RING is being sent to the host

S554 0 0..900 If S Register 512>=2 and <=7 then this register species a time in seconds
for which the device will stay in the S512 mode after power up or reset. On
timeout, it will abort the discoverable and/or connectable and fall back into
S512=1 mode, when it is deaf and dumb.
Note that if AT+BTR has been used to specify a peer device, then on reverting
to mode 1, it will attempt to make a connection to that peer device.
A power cycle, reset via BREAK or ATZ is required to see the effects of change.
S555 1 1..7 If S Register 554 is nonzero, then after the post reset window expires, the
mode will revert to the mode specied in this register. This allows, for example,
the device to be discoverable and connectable on power up (mode 4 or 7)
and on window timer expiry to revert to connectable only (mode 3 or 6).
A power cycle, reset via BREAK or ATZ is required to see effects of a change.
In some rmware builds, S Registers 565 to 569 inclusive are visible, which
allows the start-up mode to depend on the state of RI line (Setting S Reg 565
forces the RI pin to be congured as an input). For this feature to be active,
SReg 565 should be set to 1. In that case, on start-up, if RI is asserted, then
the start-up mode is dened by S Reg 568 and if deasserted then S Reg 569.
S556 0 0..3 Allows GPIO or ADC values to be read via the minor class eld in an
inquiry response.
When this value is non-zero, bits2 to 7 contain information as follow:-
1 :- ADC1
2 :- ADC2
3 :- GPIO1 to GPIO6
Set to 0 to disable this feature.
This allows i/o information to be conveyed without a connection.
S557 32 4..900 Specied in seconds, the update interval for the feature enabled via S Reg 556
S558 0 0..1 When 1, the following responses; “RING”, “NO CARRIER” and “CONNECT”
are replaced by “BTIN”, “BTDOWN” and “BTUP” respectively. This will eliminate
ambiguity when the module has a Bluetooth connection to an AT modem which
also gives these responses.
S559 0 0..3 This species a mask.
When Bit 0 is 1, the response word “ERROR“ is replaced by “BTERR”
and “OK” is replaced by “ok”.
When Bit 1 is 1, then error responses do not include the error number
and instead the error number can be retrieved using ATI12.
S560 15 15..120 Disconnect timeout in seconds. This timer species how long to wait for
conrmation from the peer device and/or the underlying stack that the
connection has been successfully torn down. There can be instances where
a conrmation does not arrive and so in this case this timer is used to
‘close off’ the procedure and put the state machine back into a proper mode
for new operations.
Time is specied with 15 seconds intervals.
S561 0 0..1000 Sniff Attempt Time in units of milliseconds. 0 means disable.
See section “Power Consumption and Reset” in the user guide for more details.
S562 0 0..1000 Sniff timeout Time in units of milliseconds. 0 means disable.
See section “Power Consumption and Reset” in the user guide for more details.
S563 0 0..1000 Sniff Minimum Interval in units of milliseconds. 0 means disable.
See section “Power Consumption and Reset” in the user guide for more details.
S564 0 0..1000 Sniff Maximum Interval in units of milliseconds. See section
“Power Consumption and Reset” in the user guide for more details.
S565 0 1 If set to 1, RI (Ring Indicate) line is congured as an input and forces the
start-up mode (SReg512) and post-timeout on Start-up mode (SReg555) to
be dependent on the state of RI. The RI conditional modes are dened by
SRegs 566 to 569 inclusive.
S566 1 7 If S565=1, and RI is asserted then this is the mode the device will start up in.
S567 1 7 If S565=1, and RI is deasserted then this is the mode the device will start up in.
S568 1 7 If S565=1, and RI is asserted then this is the mode the device will assume
after the post-start-up timeout dened in SReg 554 instead of mode dened
in SReg555
