3.1 Overview
NB007 can be operated and configured via Bluetooth by installing an APPon smartphone, which is very handy
and visible. This chapter mainly includes: The power on/power off/sleep mechanism, how APPsets up connection
with the device,APPpage introduction and howto operate.
3.2 Bluetooth connection
Provide interactive bridgeforAPPand thedevice
Step 1: open NB-IOTAnalyzerAPP, click buttonat upperright cornerand enter Connection State interface.
Step 2: click “Select” button at the back of Bluetooth name of the devices needing to be connected, APP will
select the device to connect, and Bluetooth name will appear in Bluetooth name item on NETWORK page, and it
can be revisedmanuallyas is shownin graph3-2.
1. When Bluetooth name configuration is NB007, in order to avoid repetition of Bluetooth name of multiple NB devices, actual
effected Bluetooth name is: “default name_the last four digits of Bluetooth mac”. For example, if Bluetooth mac address is
e8:0f:d2:8a:c9:eb,the effectedBluetooth nameduringdefault configurationis: NB007_C9EB.
2. If revised Bluetooth name is not NB007,actual effected name is consistent with configured Bluetooth name,and last four digits of
macaddresswillnot be added.
3.AfterBluetooth name isrevised,localconnectionisnot disconnected,andnewnameisused to connect fornextconnection.
