Reset both Wireless Bolts to the factory default settings.
2.
Connect Wireless Bolt 1 to the IO device and Wireless Bolt 2 to the PLC.
3.
Set Wireless Bolt 1 to Easy Config Mode 4.
This unit will now be discoverable and open for automatic configuration.
4.
Set Wireless Bolt 2 to Easy Config Mode 6
This unit should now automatically discover and configure unit 1 as a Bluetooth client, and
configure itself as an access point.
The IO device should now be able to communicate with the PLC as if using a wired connection.
