Chapter 3 – AT Commands  
AT Command Reference Guide  
AT commands for the Serial-to-Bluetooth Adapter are published in a separate Reference Guide included on the  
product CD and posted on the Multi-Tech Web site.  
Using AT Commands  
Default Settings / Changing Configuration  
Parameters, such as the Bluetooth Name, Service Name, Class of Device and Serial Port settings can be  
viewed and configured. This can be done locally through the serial port UART or from a remote Bluetooth RF  
link. To configure the Bluetooth SocketWireless device, the device must be in command mode by issuing  
ATMC. While in command mode, the Bluetooth SocketWireless device will accept ASCII bytes as commands.  
You can use the developer board and the RS-232 cable to connect to a PC and pass ASCII characters  
through the terminal to the Bluetooth SocketWireless device. The communications settings should match the  
settings used when the Bluetooth SocketWireless device connects. For example, the defaults are:  
9600bps  
8 bits  
No Parity  
1 stop bit  
Hardware flow control enabled.  
Once you change these parameters, you have the option to store them permanently in the non-volatile  
memory.  
Run your favorite terminal emulator, HyperTerminal, or other program.  
Type AT on your screen and follow it with a carriage return <cr_lf>. You should see "OK" returned to  
you. This will verify that your cable and communications settings are correct. When the  
SocketWireless device is not connected to another Bluetooth device, you can type the AT commands  
directly into the SocketWireless' UART; e.g., you do not have to type ATMC to change from data  
mode to command mode.  
Now you can enter any of the AT commands discussed in the following sections. Follow these  
commands by <cr_lf>. Valid commands will return an "OK" or a valid response. Invalid commands  
will reply ERROR.  
To return to data mode, type ATMD. You can now pass or receive data from a remote connected  
Bluetooth device.  
Notes:  
If you change communications parameter settings, remember to change your terminal or emulator  
communications settings to correspond to the newly created parameter settings.  
AT commands will not echo back to the terminal.

6. Send Data.  
Note about Sending Commands from the Slave When the Slave Connects in Fast Data Mode  
(ATSW25/or issuing ATMF)  
All valid AT commands sent through the Slave's UART will be interpreted and responded by the Master as  
if it were the local Slave radio. Basically, in this configuration from the Slave end, you can obtain status  
and configure the remote Master radio. This is a unique feature that may be useful in some applications,  
but it can be confusing if you think you are talking to the Slave.  
To Get Out of Data Mode and Check Status  
1. Delay at least 50 milliseconds; this could be less or more.  
2. Perform a Set Command Mode.

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can  
radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may  
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference  
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Plug the equipment into an outlet on a circuit that is different from the one used by the receiver.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Appendix A – Regulatory Compliance  
New Zealand Telecom Warning Notice  
1. The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has  
accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates  
no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it  
provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of  
Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is  
compatible with all of Telecom’s network services.  
This equipment is not capable under all operating conditions of correct operating conditions of  
correct operation at the higher speed which it is designated. 33.6 kbps and 56 kbps connections  
are likely to be restricted to lower bit rates when connected to some PSTN implementations.  
Telecom will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances.  
2. Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its  
disposal or repair.  
3. This adapter shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom  
customers.  
4. This device is equipped with pulse dialing, while the Telecom standard is DTMF tone dialing. There  
is no guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialing.  
Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as other equipment, may  
give rise to 'bell tinkle' or noise and may also cause a false answer condition. Should such  
problems occur, the user should NOT contact the Telecom Faults Service.  
The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones, as this is faster than pulse (decadic) dialing  
and is readily available on almost all New Zealand telephone exchanges.  
5. Warning Notice: No '111' or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure.  
6. This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected to  
the same line.  
7. Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s Telepermit requirements are dependent  
on the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set to  
operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom’s Specifications:  
For repeat calls to the same number:  
There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute  
period for any single manual call initiation, and  
The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end  
of one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt.  
For automatic calls to different numbers:  
The equipment shall be set to ensure that automatic calls to different numbers are spaced  
such that there is no less than 5 seconds between the end of one call attempt and the  
beginning of another.  
8. For correct operation, total of the RN’s of all devices connected to a single line at any time should  
not exceed 5.  
South African Statement  
This adapter must be used in conjunction with an approved surge protection device.
