Connecting a PC with a DBT-120 to a BOE
In this exercise we will step through the process of establishing a connection from a PC that
has a D-Link® DBT-120 Bluetooth USB Adapter to an eb500 module inserted into a Board
of Education (BOE) board.
To perform this exercise, as documented, you will need a D-Link DBT-120, a Board of
Education board, and an eb500 module. If you are using any of the other supported Parallax
boards, you may need to make adjustments to this exercise.
On the PC, the DBT-120 Bluetooth Software associates a COM port for establishing a
connection from the PC to a remote Bluetooth device and a separate COM port for
connections that are established from a remote Bluetooth device to the PC. This exercise
demonstrates establishing a connection from the PC to a remote eb500. The next exercise
will demonstrate establishing a connection from a remote eb500 to the PC.
The D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB Adapter software must be fully installed prior to
establishing a connection. The PC settings shown in this exercise are based upon the
software provided with the D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB Adapter.
