Bluetooth ® AT Data Module

CONFIGURING

THE BTM410/411

INTRODUCTION

This document describes the protocol used to control and con fi 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 fi 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.

Local Command Mode

Remote Command Mode

Data Mode

RF UNCONNECTED

ILLEGAL

RF CONNECTED

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.

THE BTM410/411

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 fi 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 fi

4. All Bluetooth Device Class codes are represented by a fi 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>

<uuid>

A 12 character Bluetooth address consisting of ASCII characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘F’ and ‘a’ to ‘f’.

A 6 character Bluetooth device class consisting of ASCII characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘F’ and ‘a’ to ‘f’.

A positive integer value.

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

A string delimited by double quotes. E.g. “Hello World”. The “ character MUST be supplied as delimiters.

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 fi

Section 5: Dropping Connections for more related information.

In modems this escape sequence is usually “+++”. “^^^” is speci fi ed to avoid confusion when the module is providing access to a modem.

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 fi 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.

3. AT

Used to check the module is available.

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 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 fi le <uuid>. The <uuid> is an optional parameter which speci fi es the UUID of the pro fi 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 fi cation, it necessarily implies that only pro fi les based on

RFCOMM can be accessed.

If <U> is not speci fi ed, then authentication is as per register 500, otherwise the connection will

If <Y> is not speci fi ed, then encryption is as per register 501, otherwise the connection will have enabled.

The timeout is speci fi ed by S register 505.

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:-

In that case, issuing an ATZ to reset the device will reset the count to 0 and more connections possible.

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 fi 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

The last ERROR response number.

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.

The current boot mode (Only for fi rmware 1.18.0 and newer)

The maximum length of an AT command, including the terminating carriage return

(only for fi rmware 1.6.10 and newer)

The size of AT command input buffer

Returns the number of bytes pending to be sent in the rf buffer when a connection is up.

Version number of Multipoint application (Note: ATI is provided for compatibility in multipoint mode, other AT commands are not available).

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 fi cant digit equates to the value stored in S Register 512 or 555.

Note when n=16, ATI9 will return 1.

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.

Returns LinkQual which in the CSR chipset is de fi 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.

For recognised values of n. All other values of n will generate an error.

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>

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 fi 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.

COMMENT

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.

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 ‘^’.

Escape sequence guard time in milliseconds, with a granularity of 20ms.

New values are rounded down to the nearest 20ms multiple

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.

COMMENT

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 fi gured in cable replacement mode.

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 fi ed in the ATD command, the “NO CARRIER” response will be immediate. See S register

560 for specifying disconnect max timeout.

Enable/Disable echoes. The ATEn command also affects this.

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.

Page Scan Interval in milliseconds. Minimum is 11.25ms so 10/11ms will give 11.25ms.

Page Scan Window in milliseconds. Minimum is 11.25ms so 10/11ms will give 11.25ms.

Inquiry Scan Interval in milliseconds. Minimum is 11.25ms so 10/11ms will give 11.25ms.

Inquiry Scan Window in milliseconds. Minimum is 11.25ms so 10/11ms will give 11.25ms.

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 fi 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 fi 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 fi 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 fi es the time in seconds that the device will remain in the speci fi ed mode after power up. On timeout, the device will fall back to the mode speci fi ed in S Register 555.

S512 continued….

In some fi 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 fi 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 fi ned by S Reg 566 and if deasserted then S Reg 567.

Pairing Authentication, 1 = Enable

Pairing Timeout in seconds. This includes the time a host takes to supply the

PIN number when PIN? messages are indicated.

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.

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”

1 = CTS/RTS hardware handshaking enabled

Number of Stop bits

Parity. 0=None, 1=Odd, 2=Even

This register speci fi 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.

Reconnect delay when con fi gured as master in pure-cable-replacement mode. This value is rounded down to the nearest 100ms. See S Register

Speci fi 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

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.

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.

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.

Link Supervision Timeout. If units go out of range, then a NO CARRIER message will be sent to the host after the time speci fi ed here

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.

If 1, then when a successful pairing occurs, it is automatically saved in the trusted device database – if it has room to store it.

When set to 1, in idle mode (S512=1), UART Rx characters are discarded if

DSR is deasserted.

Sets the MTU in L2CAP con fi guration negotiations. The value of 0 is a special value which is taken to mean that the current value should remain.

This sets the power level in dBm when inquiring or paging. Reading this register returns the value stored in non-volatile memory.

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.

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

Con fi gure the UART for either low latency or maximum throughput. A setting of 1 gives maximum throughput.

COMMENT

This register speci fi 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 fi es the source for RTC

4..7 speci fi es the source for RTR

8..11 speci fi es the source for DV (i.e. DCD)

12..15 speci fi 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 fi 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.

This register speci fi es in each 4 bit nibble, how the DTR, DCD, RI output pins are controlled when in a Bluetooth connection

Nibble 0..3 speci fi es the source for DTR

4..7 speci fi es the source for DCD

8..11 speci fi 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.

This register speci fi 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 fi es the source for DTR

4..7 speci fi es the source for DCD

8..11 speci fi 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

COMMENT

If S Register 512>=2 and <=7 then this register speci fi 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.

If S Register 554 is nonzero, then after the post reset window expires, the mode will revert to the mode speci fi 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.

SReg 565 should be set to 1. In that case, on start-up, if RI is asserted, then the start-up mode is de fi ned by S Reg 568 and if deasserted then S Reg 569.

Allows GPIO or ADC values to be read via the minor class fi 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.

Speci fi ed in seconds, the update interval for the feature enabled via S Reg 556

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.

This speci fi 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.

Disconnect timeout in seconds. This timer speci fi es how long to wait for con fi 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 fi 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 fi ed with 15 seconds intervals.

Sniff Attempt Time in units of milliseconds. 0 means disable.

See section “Power Consumption and Reset” in the user guide for more details.

Sniff timeout Time in units of milliseconds. 0 means disable.

See section “Power Consumption and Reset” in the user guide for more details.

Sniff Minimum Interval in units of milliseconds. 0 means disable.

See section “Power Consumption and Reset” in the user guide for more details.

Sniff Maximum Interval in units of milliseconds. See section

“Power Consumption and Reset” in the user guide for more details.

If set to 1, RI (Ring Indicate) line is con fi 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 fi ned by

SRegs 566 to 569 inclusive.

If S565=1, and RI is asserted then this is the mode the device will start up in.

If S565=1, and RI is deasserted then this is the mode the device will start up in.

If S565=1, and RI is asserted then this is the mode the device will assume after the post-start-up timeout de fi ned in SReg 554 instead of mode de fi ned in SReg555

Response: <cr,lf>ERROR

A Bluetooth inquiry process is such that for a single inquiry request a device could respond many times.

To ensure that an address is sent to the host only once for a particular AT+BTI, an array of addresses is created at the start of each AT+BTI and is fi lled as responses come in. This array of addresses is stored in dynamic memory and as such if the memory allocation fails then the inquiry procedure is aborted and in that case an error response is sent to the host.

To clarify, a single AT+BTI will never return the same Bluetooth address more than once, but as long as the responding device is active, all AT+BTI commands will always return it.

This command is used to store a peer address for outbound connections in non-volatile memory.

A value of 000000000000 has the special meaning of invalid peer address.

This command is used to set up a module in pure cable replacement mode.

If S register 512 = 1 and the peer address is NOT 000000000000, then it will periodically (time

speci fi fi all commands from the host are buffered in the receive buffer, until a Bluetooth connection is established with the peer device and it then sends the buffer across. This means that if the peer device is not in the vicinity and will never be there, the device effectively becomes useless, as in this circumstance a host would want to get attention of the AT parser to send it new commands – probably one to delete the peer device.

In this circumstance, a recovery is possible by one of two methods. The fi rst method assumes that the DTR from the host is connected to the DSR line of the module and the second method assumes that this connection is absent. In the fi rst method it is enough to deassert the DTR line from the host and that will abort the autoconnect cycle. The second method is initiated by resetting the device and then ensuring that the text string “AT+BT&BISM&<cr>” is sent (where <cr> is the carriage return character). There is special code which looks out for this magic command and terminates the autoconnect cycle if it sees it and con fi rms to the host of that fact by sending an “OK” response.

To supply a PIN, use the AT+BTK command.

For a successful pairing, the link key is stored in a volatile cache which is overwritten every time a new pairing is initiated using this command. The link key can be stored in a non-volatile database within the device. The list of trusted devices is managed using commands AT+BTT?, AT+BTT and AT+BTD. The AT+BTT? command produces a list of trusted Bluetooth addresses (link key is

NEVER displayed) and AT+BTT is used to store the cached link key. The command

AT+BTD123456789012 is used to remove the speci fi ed device from the database.

The “OK” response is sent immediately on receipt of the AT+BTW command. On pairing completion, an unsolicited message will be sent to the host which will be in the form PAIR n <bd_addr>. See section 3.7 for more details.

If AT+BTI or AT+BTP or AT+BTG or AT+BTQ or ATD is issued between the AT+BTW command and the subsequence PAIR asynchronous response, then an ERROR response will be sent to those commands as the device is not in a mode from where such commands can be actioned.

UNSOLICITED RESPONSES

The ‘AT’ Protocol is a command/response type of protocol. This means that the device will normally only respond to AT commands.

Under special circumstances, unsolicited responses will be sent to the host. They are described in the following subsections.

RING

This string is sent to the host when a remote device is initiating a serial port connection. The fully quali fi ed string is in the form RING 012345678901 where 012345678901 is a 12 digit hexadecimal number which corresponds to the remote device’s Bluetooth address. This response is sent to the host every 2 seconds until the host either accepts the connection using the ATA command or rejects it using the ATH command.

PIN?

This response is sent to the host during a pairing negotiation.

The fully quali fi ed string is PIN? 012345678901 where 012345678901 is the Bluetooth address of the peer device. In response, the host must supply a pin code which is entered using the AT+BTK command.

If the peer address does not supply the address in the message exchange, then the address is speci fi

000000000000 – and the paring will proceed as normal.

AUDIO ON

This response is sent to the host when a SCO channel has been established.

AUDIO OFF

This response is sent to the host when an existing SCO channel has been closed.

AUDIO FAIL

This response is sent to the host when a SCO channel setup fails.

ERROR 27

This response is sent to the host on power up if the fi rmware is unlicensed.

PAIR n <bd_addr>

This response is sent to the host on termination of a pairing process. If pairing was successful then ‘n’ = 0, if a timeout occurred then ‘n’=1 and for all other unsuccessful outcomes the value will be 2.

The parameter <bd_addr> is the address of the peer device if available.

PAIR 0 <bd_addr> MM

This response is sent to the host on termination of a successful pairing process. The optional MM is sent only if S Register 538 is set to 1 to automatically save the link key. The value MM indicates the result of the save operation and a value of 00 implies success, otherwise the value corresponds to an error code.

RX<string>

This response is sent to the host when the unit is in online-command mode and S Register 531 is set to 3 and data arrives from a peer.

If the data from the string contains non-visual characters (for example ASCII 0 to 31 and ASCII 128 to 255), then those characters are translated into a 3 character escape sequence starting with ‘\’. For example the embedded <cr><lf> sequence would be sent as the 6 character string \0D\0A.

If the data contains the character ‘“’ then it is sent as \22.

If the data contains the character ‘\’ then it is sent as \5C

INCOMING CONNECTIONS

The device can be con fi gured using the AT+BTP or AT+BTG command so that it will scan for incoming connections from other Bluetooth devices. It can also be con fi gured via S Register 512 to be in this mode by default on power up.

When the lower layers detect an incoming call, a RING 123456789012 string is sent to the host every second.

The command ATA is used to accept the connection and ATH to reject it.

On connection, if the S0 Register is >=0 then con fi

CONNECT 123456789012 A

CONNECT 123456789012 E

CONNECT 123456789012 AE

Where ‘A’ means authenticated connection and ‘E’ means encryption has been enabled.

When S0 register is -1, neither RING nor CONNECT is sent to the host and the connection is silently accepted.

If the S 100 register is non-zero, then after the ring indications speci fi ed by this register have been sent to the host, and the host has failed to accept or reject the incoming connection, then an automatic ‘hangup’ is initiated.

DROPPING CONNECTIONS

In a conventional telephony modem, a call is normally terminated by fi rst sending a +++ character sequence enveloped by an escape sequence guard time (of the order of 100 to 1000 milliseconds) to enter local command and connected mode and then the ATH command.

Laird Technologies Bluetooth modules provide a variety of ways of dropping a connection. One method is similar to the above, but instead a ^^^ character sequence is used, this is to eliminate ambiguity when a data call is in progress via a mobile phone which was established using the mobile phone’s Bluetooth AT modem. The second method involves the host dropping the DTR (DSR from the module’s viewpoint) handshaking line.

Being able to drop a connection using the escape sequence ^^^ has a severe penalty on data throughput, in fact, the data rate is of the order of 85kbps instead of about 200kbps. To cater for this performance hit, the device’s connection drop capability is con fi gurable to be in one of two modes.

One mode allows for a connection to be dropped using either method, and the other mode allows for a connection drop using the DTR method only. By default, the device is in former mode. This mode is selected using the S507 register. See S register table described in an earlier section.

To reiterate, the escape sequence is as follows:-

This means that even when a fi le transfer is occurring and it happens to be full of <Esc Chr> characters then it is not going to drop into command mode because, when transferring a fi le it is going to happen as fast as possible and so the inter character gap is going to be signi fi cantly shorter than the <Guard time>.

The <Esc Chr> character can be changed via the S2 register and the <Guard time> interval can be speci fi ed via the S12 register.

PAIRING AND TRUSTED DEVICES

When authentication is enabled via S register 500 or when using the ‘u’ modi fi er in the ATD and AT+BTP commands, a connection attempt will require a link key for the peer device. The link key can be obtained prior to connection by invoking the AT+BTW and AT+BTK commands. A new link key can be obtained as often as required and is stored in a volatile cache. At any time, this cached link key can be added to the trusted devices database using the AT+BTT command. A trusted device can be deleted using the AT+BTD command. To view a list of trusted device issue the command AT+BTT?.

In addition, if S Register 538 is set to 1, then on a successful pairing, the link key will be automatically saved to the trusted device database. In that case, the asynchronous message PAIR 0 <bd_addr> has an error code appended at the end to convey the result of the save operation.

When a connection attempt requires a link key, the trusted device database will be searched automatically and if one exists will be provided without host interaction. If the link key is not present, then the connection attempt will be terminated and a NO CARRIER response will be given to the ATD command.

A typical session to pair, say an Ericsson T68i, to a serial module would be:

• Make the T68i discoverable and send AT+BTI to the serial module. This will result in inquiry responses from all devices. Make a note of the Bluetooth address of the phone e.g. 123456789012

• On the T68i start pairing procedure by selecting “Phone accepts” in the relevant Bluetooth menu.

• Send command AT+BTW123456789012 to the serial module

• fi rm that you get an OK response and then PIN? responses on a 2 second interval.

• Enter a pin code on the phone. Say it is 12345768

• Then enter the command AT+BTK=”12345678”.

• The phone will con fi

• On success the serial module will send an unsolicited message in the form of PAIR 0 <bd_addr>

• Send AT+BTT to the serial module so that the pairing information is stored in the

• fi rm that the link key has been stored by sending the command AT+BTT?. This will result in a list of all devices paired with the module.

If two Laird Technologies devices need to be paired, then it can be accomplished as follows:-

• To device 1 send ATI4, it will respond with the local Bluetooth address. E.g. 123456789001

• To device 1 send AT+BTP. It will become discoverable and connectable.

• To device 2 send AT+BTW123456789001 and it will respond with OK

• Then on both devices you will see PIN? asynchronous responses

• To both modules send AT+BTK=”12345678”

• On success the serial module will send an unsolicited message in the form of PAIR 0 <bd_addr>

• The pairing link key, is at this stage, in volatile memory, so send AT+BTT to both.

• The two units now have pairing information which will survive a power cycle.

FACTORY DEFAULT MODE

Laird Technologies devices are capable of operating at a very wide range of baud rates. S Registers 520 and 521 allow the baud rate to be set very easily. The baud rate clock generator in the device is more versatile than that available in a standard 16550 UART commonly available in PCs.

In fact, as long as the equation BAUDRATE * 0.004096 produces an integer value, then there will be 0% error in clocking for that baud rate.

So it is possible to set a baud rate that a PC cannot cope with, and in that circumstance it is virtually impossible to communicate with it.

To cater for this circumstance, if DSR is de-asserted, the device will come out of reset using 9600,N,8,1 comms settings for exactly 750 milliseconds and then revert to the comms parameters as per the S Registers.

If the host sends the string !<BISM>!<cr> where <cr> is the carriage return character within that 750ms period, then the module will remain at 9600,N,8,1 and will also con fi gure itself using factory default S Register values.

MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES

This chapter describes various features which cannot be categorized appropriately.

RI dependent Start-up Mode

The UART_RI line can be con fi one of two modes. See description for S Registers 565 to 569 inclusive for more details.

For example, the feature could allow a device to make an outgoing connection if RI is in one state, and be ready for an incoming connection in the other.

Pulse a GPIO pin

To fl period and duty cycle respectively.

Flash GPIO4 on Connectable Mode

S reg 534 now takes a value up to 2. A value of 2 con fi gures GPIO4 so that it will blink when the module is in connectable mode.

Reset via BREAK

The module can be reset by sending a BREAK signal. A BREAK signal exists when the module’s UART_RX input is in a non-idle state (0v) for more that 125 milliseconds.

Digital I/O Cable Replacement

The module has a number of general purpose digital i/o pins. The direction of these are speci fi

When S Reg 531 is set to 4 at both ends of the connection, then on connection, any changes in the states of the inputs at one end will be transmitted to the peer, which will then re fl ect those states on the appropriate i/o pins if they have been con fi gured as outputs.

It is recommended that the value of S Reg 610 at one end be the one’s complement of the other end. That way, inputs at one end are mirrored at the other end and vice versa.

In addition S Reg 506 MUST be set to 0, which disables echos.

Note that due to inherent latency of Bluetooth transmission, expect the change of state to be delayed. This value is typically 100ms and can be much more if the quality of the link is bad which results in many retries.

It is assumed that an audio channel is not active at any time.

Append Bluetooth Address to Friendly name

If S Reg 593 is set to 1, then the last 6 hex digits of the Bluetooth address are automatically appended to the friendly name. This allows multiple devices with the same name in a neighbourhood to be differentiated.

is dropped as if an ATH command was received.

2. PIO2 (RI), is normally de-asserted. When an incoming connection is detected it will be asserted,

until the connection is either answered or rejected using ATA and ATH respectively. See S Registers

552 & 553 for more details fi ed in S Register 519 then the connection

3. PIO3 (DCD) will be de-asserted when the device is in the unconnected state. Asserted when a

connection is active. See S Registers 552 and 553 for more details.

4. PIO5 is either used as GPIO or driven as UART_DTR. When the unit is con fi gured in pure host mode,

this pin is forced into UART_DTR and is asserted when there is a Bluetooth connection.

GPIO Pins 1 to 8 are available for general purpose use.

Bluetooth ® AT Data Module

APPLICATION

EXAMPLES

Modem signalling over Bluetooth

The RFCOMM protocol used in Bluetooth for implementing the serial port pro fi le allows for the exchange of four modem signals. This information is contained in a special transparent message which contains bits identi fi ed as RTR, RTC, DV and IC which depending on the type of serial device being emulated maps to DTR or DSR, RTS, DCD and RI respectively. In addition, this message also includes the ability to convey a BREAK input from one end to the other.

To allow for the greatest fl exibility and variability in how the modem control signals are used out in the real world, S Registers 551, 552 and 553 have been provided which allow for any of RTR,RTC,DV and IC to be mapped to any modem control/status line.

BREAK signal on RX line

If the host sends a break signal of duration greater than 100ms, then the blu2i module is con fi gured to treat that as a signal to perform a hardware reset.

This being the case it is not possible to convey a BREAK over Bluetooth to the peer device.

Reset

The module can be reset by the host without the need of any I/O using a BREAK signal. The module has been con fi gured to reset when the RX line detects a break condition for durations greater than

The Reset line has a fi

Pure Cable Replacement Mode

The module has the capability of being preset into a pure 5-wire data cable replacement mode. The 5 wires being RX, TX, CTS, RTS and GND. This mode requires no changes to a host application since the Bluetooth connection is automatically set up on power up. If the connection is lost the BISM2 module will constantly retry until the connection is reinstated.

By implication, two devices are needed to replace a cable. One device is pre-con fi gured to always be a master and the other, a slave.

Assuming the Bluetooth address of the master to be <bdaddr_m> and that of the slave to be <bdaddr_s>, the master module is con fi gured by sending it the following AT commands:

AT&F*

ATS512=1

ATS504=1

ATS507=2

ATS530=2000

AT&W

AT+BTR<bdaddr_s>

The ATS507=2 setting puts the device in DSR drop mode only. This means that when the device needs to be recon fi gured, deasserting the DSR line will ensure that the module responds quickly to AT commands. This further means that in stand alone mode, the DSR input line MUST be asserted e.g. 0V in TTL signal mode.

The slave is con fi gured by:

AT&F*

ATS512=4

ATS0=-1

AT&W

AT+BTR<bdaddr_m>

APPLICATION

EXAMPLES

Where <bdaddr_m> is optional. If it is not speci fi ed, then the slave unit will accept connections from any device. If speci fi ed then only connections from the device speci fi ed will be accepted.

If it is desired that the slave unit should not be discoverable (the master is by default not discoverable), then the con fi guration commands are:

AT&F*

ATS512=3

ATS0=-1

AT&W

AT+BTR<bdaddr_m>

Where <bdaddr_m> is optional. If it is not speci fi ed, then the slave unit will accept connections from any device. If speci fi ed then only connections from the device speci fi ed will be accepted.

When the units are next power cycled, the slave unit will wait for the master to connect to it and the master will continually look for the slave. If a connection attempt fails, the master will wait for 2 seconds before reattempting a connection. This 2 second delay can be varied by issuing it an ATS530 command with an appropriate value in the range 100ms to 15000ms.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The DSR input to the module MUST be asserted for the auto connection to succeed.

When operating at TTL levels a 0V is seen as an assert state. When operating at RS232 levels and voltage greater than 3V is seen as assert. It is usual to connect the DTR line of the host to the DSR line of this device.

Audio Cable (voice)

With a pair of these modules it is possible to replace a mono audio cable with two way traf fi c. That is, a setup where a microphone is connected to a speaker at the remote end and vice versa. So this mode effectively replaces two audio cables.

Assuming the Bluetooth address of the master to be <bdaddr_m> and that of the slave to be <bdaddr_s>, the master module is con fi gured by sending it the following AT commands:

AT&F*

ATS512=1

ATS504=1

ATS530=2000

ATS532=7

AT&W

AT+BTR<bdaddr_s>

And the slave is con fi gured by:

AT&F*

ATS512=4

ATS0=-1

AT&W

AT+BTR<bdaddr_m>

EXAMPLES

Modem Control and Status Signals

A serial port has DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, DCD and RI control lines. RTS and CTS are locally controlled to prevent local buffer over fl ow.

The status of DTR, DRS, DCD and RI can be exchanged with the remote peer device. If for example, the DTR/DSR lines are to be exchanged between the two peers to simulate the performance of a physical cable, then it is possible to do so. Refer to the description for S Registers 551, 552 and 553 for more details.

Some serial implementations link CTS and RTS to remove the need for handshaking. Ezurio do not recommend linking CTS and RTS other than for testing and prototyping. If these pins are linked and the host sends data at the point that the Bluetooth Serial Module deasserts its RTS signal, then there is a signi fi cant risk that internal receive buffers will over fl crash. This will lead to a drop in connection and may require a power cycle to reset the module.

Ezurio recommend that the correct CTS/RTS handshaking protocol be adhered to for proper operation.

FCC and

Industry Canada

Statements

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modi fi authority to operate the equipment.

To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating to conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Considerations for OEM integration:

To inherit the modular approval, the antennas for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Co-location with other radio transmitting devices operating concurrently in the same band will require additional testing and certi fi cation.

Designers should note the distinction that the FCC makes regarding portable and mobile devices.

Mobile devices are de fi ned as products that are not used closer than 20cm to the human body, whereas portable devices can be used closer that 20cm to the body. In the case where the BTM411 module is used in a portable device, additional SAR testing must be performed on the complete product.

FCC Labelling requirement

If the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: PI4411B” or “Contains FCC ID:

PI4411B.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
