1.9. Advanced Settings
1.9.1. Device Address
This field shows the Bluetooth Address (BD_ADDR) of the local device. As each Bluetooth device must have its own unique
address, this field cannot be edited or modified in any way.
1.9.2. Device Name
In scenario's where more than 1 Adapter is to be used in the same geographical location (i.e. they are all in range of each
other/the controlling device), it may be wise to change the name of each device so that human users can more easily identify
each individual.
This field does not have a drop down list of options. You must select the field and edit the name to your requirements.
Memory constraints on the Adapter mean that you must ensure that your desired name is less than 30 characters. The
Factory setting for the local device name is "Brainboxes RS-232 Adapter".
1.9.3. Discoverability
Discoverability is a feature that allows any other Bluetooth device to find (or not find) your Bluetooth device. Just because a
Bluetooth device is non-discoverable it doesn't mean it's not also connectable. Because a Bluetooth connection is made using
only the device's address, if an application already knows the address of a non-discoverable remote device, and it has already
bonded (if appropriate) or knows the correct PIN number, then it can connect to that device. You may wish to set this option
to help avoid confusion when many RS-232 Bluetooth Adapters exist in close proximity to each other.
This field has 2 options selected from the drop down list.
1) "On" is the default setting for the adapters. This setting will make the Adapter "viewable" by any other Bluetooth device.
2) Selecting "Off" immediately renders the adapter "non-discoverable". No other Bluetooth devices will be able to see the
Adapter when they perform a device discovery. However, in this mode, your adapter is still "connectable".
Manual for BL-819, BL-830, BL-875
V6.1
The Advanced Settings section contains a more
detailed range of settings that are least likely to
require modification for any particular scenario to
work. Each field will be discussed further below.
When the Advanced Settings has been selected, an
additional section appears in the left-hand section
called Default Settings. Both sections can be
expanded at the same time to enable the user to
view the current settings and the default settings at
the same time.
As each section is opened, the previously opened
section will close to prevent information moving off
the bottom of the screen and thus requiring the user
to scroll down.
Whenever a setting is changed, the field changes
colour to indicate that a change has been made but
not applied. After making a selection select the
"Apply" icon to apply the setting.
