Making a Connection
BlueSnap shows up under Service discovery defaulted as Serial Port Profile (SPP) Service
"SPP on BlueSnap-5302", where SPP is the service name and RN-5302 is the local device
name. The local device name can be changed, and defaults from the factory to the last 2 bytes
of the Bluetooth address.
To connect to BlueSnap, browse for services, you should see: "SPP" as the Profile.
and will be connected to a Virtual COM port on PCs, BlackBerrys, Palm Pilot's, PocketPCs, or
other clients. Once connected, data will flow in both directions in regular data mode as if the
serial port were locally attached. Commands to the device can be sent by a remote RF
Bluetooth device or on the local UART hardware connection (if not connected over Bluetooth)
by typing "$$$" (three dollar signs)
transceiver (100meters/330 feet) actual range may vary due to environment or type of client
device used to connect to BlueSnap.
NOTE: Only one client can make connection to
communicating devices in a Bluetooth pico-net network.

2. Modes of Operation

0- Slave mode – This is the default mode, whereby other Bluetooth devices can discover and
connect to the device. Outbound connections can also be made in this mode.
1- Master Mode - This mode is useful when the device only wants to initiate connections (not
receive them). In this mode the device will NOT be discoverable or connectable.
2- Trigger Master Mode - In this mode, the device will automatically connect to the pre
configured remote slave address when a character (or characters( are received on the local
UART. Connection will continue until a configurable idle timer (1 to 255 seconds) determines
that no more data is being received, or a configurable BREAK character is seen.
3-Auto-connect Master Mode- This mode can be set by command, or by sensing of Switch 3
during powerup on the BlueSnap.(PIO6 high on the module). If this mode is set, the device will
initiate a connection to the pre-stored remote address immediately upon power up. If no
address is stored, an inquiry process will be attempted and the first device found that matches
the COD will be stored.
BlueSnap (high speed), hence the connection cannot be broken via command. If disconnect
occurs, the device will attempt to re-connect until successful.
4-Auto-connect DTR Mode- This mode must be set by command. This mode operates like
mode 3 Auto-Connect, except that the connection and disconnection are controlled by the DTR
