Brainboxes BL-819 User Manual
3.7. Advanced Settings
The Advanced Settings section contains a more
detailed range of settings that are least likely to
require modification for any particular scenario
to work. Each field will be discussed further
below.
When the Advanced Settings has been
selected, an additional section appears in the
left-hand section called Default Settings. Both
sections can be expanded at the same time to
enable the user to view the current settings and
the default settings at the same time.
As each section is opened, the previously
opened section will close to prevent information
moving off the bottom of the screen and thus
requiring the user to scroll down.
Whenever a setting is changed, the field
changes colour to indicate that a change has
been made but not applied. After making a
selection select the “Apply” icon to apply the
setting.

Device Address
This field shows the Bluetooth Address (BD_ADDR) of the local device. As each Bluetooth device must have its
own unique address, this field cannot be edited or modified in any way.
Device Name
own unique address, this field cannot be edited or modified in any way.
Device Name
In scenario’s where more than 1 Adapter is to be used in the same geographical location (i.e. they are all in range of
each other/the controlling device), it may be wise to change the name of each device so that human users can more
easily identify each individual.
This field does not have a drop down list of options. You must select the field and edit the name to your
requirements.
Memory constraints on the Adapter mean that you must ensure that your desired name is less than 30 characters.
The Factory setting for the local device name is “Brainboxes RS232 Adapter ”.

Discoverability
Discoverability is a feature that allows any other Bluetooth device to find (or not find) your Bluetooth device. Just
because a Bluetooth device is non-discoverable it doesn’t mean it’s not also connectable. Because a Bluetooth
connection is made using only the device’s address, if an application already knows the address of a non-
discoverable remote device, and it has already bonded (if appropriate) or knows the correct PIN number, then it can
connect to that device. You may wish to set this option to help avoid confusion when many RS-232 Bluetooth
Adapters exist in close proximity to each other.
This field has 2 options selected from the drop down list.
1) “On” is the default setting for the adapters. This setting will make the Adapter “viewable” by any other Bluetooth
device.
2) Selecting “Off” immediately renders the adapter “non-discoverable”. No other Bluetooth devices will be able to
see the Adapter when they perform a device discovery. However, in this mode, your adapter is still “connectable”.
