FireFly™ : Bluetooth™ Serial Adapter
FireFly is the world's smallest, lightest and most capable
Class 1 Bluetooth serial adapter. FireFly enables
wireless connections to any legacy serial port and supports
bi-directional RS-232 (or 422 !) signaling at a rate of up to 464Kbps.
Just attach FireFly to your device's
RS232/EIA232/422 port, plug it
in, and you're connected. The transmit range can be up to 330' (100m),
depending upon environmental considerations.
Features & Benefits
- Wireless
cable replacement: use to replace cables or where cabling is
not possible or practical
- Very low
power consumption (<5ma idle, 10-40ma connect)
- Bluetooth
v2.0 compliant, FCC, IC, CE
certified, RoHS.
- Class 1 higher
powered radio for long range operation.
- Easy to
use settings via on board Dip switches.
- Can be
powered from Pin 9 of serial port if available.
- RS232 (RN-240M
or 240F) or 422 (RN-422) driver options.
FireFly can also be powered by a 9V battery and
will use 40ma of power when connected and only 1ma of power when in
standby.
FireFly uses the standard Bluetooth Serial
Port profile and
is compatible with all clients running under Windows™,
PalmOS™, PocketPC™, Apple™,
and other Bluetooth enabled platforms.
There are three ways to utilize FireFly:
1. Direct to a Bluetooth client: the client creates a SPP
connection to the unit and uses a virtual COM style interface. Data is
sent and received on the client exactly as if a serial cable was
connected to a real COM port on the client.
2. Cable replacement: Pair
two FireFly with simple Dip switches.
3. Access point mode, FireFly connects via Bluetooth into a BlueLine access point, which can then be
accessed from any client over a LAN or the Internet. The FireFly serial
port appears as a telnet port on BlueLine
and network applications can open up a socket interface to the port.
