SETTING UP LYNX™ BT WITH BLUETOOTH DEVICE
During typical operation a physical radio channel is shared by a group of devices that
are synchronized to a common clock and frequency hopping pattern. One device
provides the synchronization reference and is known as the Master. All other devices
are known as Slaves. A group of devices synchronized in this fashion form a piconet.

Most Bluetooth
devices can be both Master or Slave. The Master will be the first unit
to initiate the connection (page procedure).
Some devices can only be Slaves (i.e. printers). They can only wait for a Bluetooth
Master device to initiate a connection with them.
Lynx™ BT can be either Master or Slave. As Master it can initiate a connection with
only one Slave device.
Lynx™ BT uses the Serial Port Profile (SPP) for communication,
creating an RS232 cable replacement. It is also possible to emulate a
Wedge connection by means of the Wedge Emulation Utility provided
on the CD-ROM. When using the Wedge Emulation Utility, it is advised
to correctly set the terminators depending on the expected format for
