How to use Bluetooth on the GR25

Background Information
When the Bluetooth device on the GR25 is enabled, it can be used in two ways: either as an additional serial port or like a
TCP/IP connection to a local (Ad Hoc) network.
The GR25 can be ordererd as a Bluetooth or a WLAN version. Bluetooth functionality can only be used on
GR25 with the Bluetooth radio installed.
The Bluetooth name that the GR25 is detected with is always equal to the hostname configured in Receiver
setup: Network connections, Ethernet tab.
Bluetooth serial connection
The Bluetooth connection can be used to provide an additional serial port to be configured on the GR25 receiver. To configure
a data stream via Bluetooth serial port, select Bluetooth from the list of available connection types.
Once the data stream is configured, external devices will be able to detect the serial connection on the Bluetooth port and
connect to the data stream.
Bluetooth Ad Hoc network
The Bluetooth connection can be used to establish a subnet in which the GR25 can be accessed like via a TCP/IP connection.
This would allow web interface access, data streaming via TCP/IP ports, FTP push or GNSS Spider access within the subnet.
In order to use this connection, the user must establish a Bluetooth network on their PC and assign the IP address
192.168.253.x and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Following the pairing of the Bluetooth device, the GR25 receiver can be
accessed via the IP address 192.168.253.2.
When the Bluetooth device is disabled, all configured connections/data streams will still be enabled but not
usable, as no connection to the Bluetooth ports will be possible.
