Part No:
MPGC-WL-EB-BT-FIREBAT
Description:
FireFly-BP adds AAA battery capability to the FireFly Serial adapter- the
world’s smallest, lightest and most capable Class 1 Bluetooth serial
adapter. Batteries Not Included
FireFly-BP 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 BP:
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, or BlueportXP’s, or
FirePlug USB dongles with simple Dip switches.
3. MASTER mode. FireFly BP is configured to connect out over
Bluetooth into a remote client or an access point or bluetooth server.
