Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. SocketWireless Bluetooth AT Commands (S000360H) 5
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
This document describes the protocol used to control and configure the Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.
SocketWireless Bluetooth device. The protocol is similar to the industry standard Hayes AT protocol used in
telephone modems due to the fact that both types of devices are connection oriented. Appropriate AT
commands have been provided to make the module perform the two core actions of a Bluetooth device,
which are make/break connections and inquiry. Additional AT commands are also provided to perform
ancillary functions.
Just like telephone modems, the serial module powers up into an unconnected state and will respond to
inquiry and connection requests. Then, just like controlling a modem, the host or client can issue AT
commands, which map to various Bluetooth activities. The command set is extensive enough to allow a host
to make connections that are authenticated, encrypted, or not encrypted. The SocketWireless Bluetooth
device can be configured, commanded, and controlled through the local serial port or over the Bluetooth RF
connection.
Important Notes:
• To provide the best firmware architecture, design, and future profile support, the code is not
100% backward compatible with regard to certain AT commands and responses.
• The CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) BC04 chipset in this module is memory-resource limited;
therefore, it is recommended that you do NOT fully implement the AT protocol similar to an AT
modem.
Bluetooth Protocol V2.0
For Bluetooth protocol V2.0, the circuit board I/O pin 7 now controls flow control. In V1.2, circuit board I/O
pin 3 controlled flow control.
Protocol Change Example:
Previous Protocol V1.2 Changed to New Protocol V2.0
ATSW22,3,x,x changed to ATSW22,7,x,x
ATSW23,3,x,x changed to ATSW23,7,x,x
Comparison of Bluetooth Commands
See Appendix E for a comparison of the responses for Bluetooth AT Commands, Version 3.6.2.1.0.0 with
Version 2.8.1.1.0.0.
