Bluetooth serial port plug - F2M01

Introduction
The serial interface RS-232 is widely used in both industry and office environments. Free2move offers a solution, whereby the serial cable is replaced by a wireless link based on the Bluetooth wireless technology.

Applications
The F2M01 plug can be applied to almost every application that currently uses cables for serial communication. If throughput and latency requirements are met, it is simply to connect the plug to the serial interface. The Ad Hoc connectivity will give you the serial link as soon as the communicating devices are within range of each other.

The F2M01 supports the serial port profile and is interable with PDAs, laptops and other Bluetooth devices supporting this profile. Examples of possible applications are:

Embedded systems
Stand alone sensors
Computer peripherals
Domestic and industrial appliances

Free2move offers OEM usage and customization of the Serial Port Plug.

Hardware
The (F2M01) Serial Port Plug integrates a Bluetooth module in very dense packing. A class 1 Bluetooth solution is used offering a nominal range of approximately 100m. No external drivers are needed to use the plug. A user-friendly Windows application is included that can be used to configure the plug to suit your requirements.

Software
The software you have developed for your serial ports can remain unchanged when using the paired serial cable plugs. Windows software for configuring the Serial Port Plug is delivered for free.
