3 Overview  
Bluetooth® technology is a short-range radio link connectivity that facilitates  
RS-232 communication between 2 devices2, without the need for a direct  
cable connection. In this way you can wirelessly transmit commands from a  
PC or other controller to a Kramer RS-232 controlled device (such as a  
switcher) without connecting a cable directly between the PC and the  
switcher.  
2 A transceiver chip that transmits and receives, is included in each device

Overview  
3.1 Your BT-1 Bluetooth® controller  
Your BT-1 Bluetooth® controller consists of a pair of Kramer BT-1  
Bluetooth® controller units, a transmitter and a receiver of identical "dongle"  
type devices. The advantages of the BT-1 Bluetooth® controller include:  
ñ
A high quality design—each BT-1 Bluetooth® controller unit is robust,  
compact and light weight  
ñ
Ease of use—simply connect the PC to one BT-1 Bluetooth® controller  
unit and the switcher to the other BT-1 Bluetooth® controller unit  
An uncluttered working environment—if the PC and the switcher are  
ñ
located in different rooms, or at opposite ends of the same room, you do not  
need to use lengthy cabling to interconnect them, and you are not restricted to  
the operation distance limitations of wired RS-232  
ñ
A range of up to 10 meters1 between the pair of BT-1 Bluetooth®  
controller units  
To achieve the best performance:  
ñ
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,  
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels  
(often associated with low quality cables)  
ñ
Position your BT-1 Bluetooth® controller unit in a location free from  
moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust  
Never open your BT-1 Bluetooth® controller unit

4 Using the Bluetooth® controller  
Section 4.1 describes the Bluetooth® controller internal settings. Section  
4.1.1 describes the preset master and slave definition and section 4.1.2  
describes the Preset DCE Definition. Section 4.2 describes how to connect  
and operate the Bluetooth® controller.  
4.1 Bluetooth® controller Internal Settings  
The dipswitches and jumpers inside each BT-1 Bluetooth® controller unit are  
preset and must not be altered.  
Each pair of BT-1 Bluetooth® controller units is unique. If you are using  
several pairs of BT-1 Bluetooth® controller units, be sure to keep each pair  
together, as a separate set.  
4.1.1  
Preset Master and Slave Definition  
The pair of BT-1 Bluetooth® controller units includes one BT-1 unit preset  
as the Master1, and the other as the Slave2. It is irrelevant which BT-1 unit  
(Master or Slave) connects to the PC. However, if the BT-1 unit that is  
connected to the PC is the Slave, the unit that connects to the switcher will be  
the Master.  
4.1.2  
Preset DCE Definition  
The pair of BT-1 Bluetooth® controller units are both preset (via their  
jumpers) as DCE (Data Computing Equipment) and not as DTE (Data  
Terminal Equipment).  
4.2 Connecting and Operating the Bluetooth® controller  
Connect your pair of BT-1 Bluetooth® controller units, as the example in  
Figure 2 illustrates:  
1. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket on one BT-1 unit  
and connect the adapter to the mains electricity. Turn on the power.  
The red LED lights, indicating that the power is ON.

2. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket on the other BT-1  
unit and connect the adapter to the mains electricity. Turn on the power.  
The red LED lights, indicating that the power is ON.  
3. Wait a few seconds.  
The yellow LED lights momentarily on both BT-1 units (as well as the  
red LED), indicating that the Bluetooth® controller units are standing-by  
to communicate. After a few seconds, the yellow LED no longer lights  
and the green LED lights on both BT-1 units (as well as the red LED),  
indicating an active Bluetooth link.  
4. Connect a flat cable1 between the RS-232 DB9F port on one BT-1 unit  
and the RS-232 DB9 port on the PC.  
5. Connect a flat cable1 between the RS-232 DB9F port on the other BT-1  
unit and the RS-232 DB9 port on the switcher, using a Null-modem  
connection if required2.  
6. Turn on the power on the PC and on the switcher to communicate via the  
active Bluetooth link3.

3 If no data is transferred, disconnect the 5V DC power adapters from both BT-1 units and then reconnect them. If the  
problem persists, disconnect both BT-1 units—from the PC and from the switcher. Verify proper operation by connecting the  
PC and the switcher directly via a RS-232 cable connection
