Novatel DL-V3 User Manual

 Bluetooth Configuration

Bluetooth is a wireless radio communication standard designed for use over short ranges (within 100 
m). This appendix describes how to:

•

Enable Bluetooth on the DL-V3 receiver

•

Set up a PC/laptop with a Bluetooth adaptor

•

Locate a Bluetooth-enabled DL-V3 in range

•

Communicate with the DL-V3 using Bluetooth

•

Stop communicating with the DL-V3 using Bluetooth

Enable Bluetooth on the DL-V3 Receiver

From a PC/laptop, connect the DL-V3 to a serial, or USB, cable. Open communication with the 
receiver using HyperTerminal or CDU. Issue the following command (to switch COM3 from Ethernet 
to Bluetooth operation): 

APPCONTROL 

BLUETOOTH

 0

COM3 switches from the Ethernet to the Bluetooth device in the DL-V3. You can see this because the 

Bluetooth LED, labelled 

, on the DL-V3 flashes blue.

If the receiver is turned off, or power is removed, the Ethernet or Bluetooth mode on COM3 is 
returned to whichever mode was applied before power-down when it is powered up again. When you 
issue a FRESET command, COM3 defaults to Bluetooth mode.

Set Up a PC/Laptop with a Bluetooth Adaptor

If your PC/laptop is already Bluetooth-equipped and ready, proceed to Section E.3 on Page 196

1.

With the PC/laptop powered on, install the driver(s) from the disc that came with your Bluetooth 
adapter.

2.

Connect the Bluetooth adapter. An example of a D-Link USB adapter is shown in Figure 43:

 Figure 43: Bluetooth Adapter for PC/Laptop

Within two minutes of connecting the USB adapter, the 

 icon appears in the Windows 

task bar as shown in Figure 44 below.
