Template:FMB Blue-tooth settings

General functionality

General functionality configures Bluetooth to work in slave mode. This mode allows any external device to connect to FMB120.
Parameter BT Radio allows user to select if he wants to enable or disable Bluetooth. There are three different scenarios:

1. Disabled – Bluetooth functionality will be disabled.
2. Enable (hidden) – Bluetooth functionality will be enabled, but none of external devices will be able to detect FMB120 but will be able to connect.
3. Enable (visible) – Bluetooth functionality will be enabled and any external device will be able to detect and connect to FMB120.
4. Local Name parameter lets user to declare visible name of FMB120 to external devices.
5. Local PIN parameter lets user to configure Bluetooth PIN of FMB120 device.

FMB1YX Bluetooth has several different security modes:

• PIN only – while external device trying to connect to FMB120 only Local PIN will be reacquired to complete connection.
• PIN + MAC list – while external device trying to connect to FMB120 Local PIN and Authorized Devices MAC List will be checked. If external device MAC ID is in the list and correct Local PIN is entered then connection will be established, else FMB120 will reject connection.
• MAC list only – while external device trying to connect to FMB120 only Authorized Devices MAC List will be checked. If external device MAC ID is in the list then connection will be established, else FMB120 will reject connection.
• None – while external device trying to connect to FMB1YX neither Local PIN or Authorized Device MAC list will be checked.

Auto Connection to External Device functionality Auto connection functionality configures FMB120 as master device, this allows FMB120 connect to external device. FMB1YX currently supports these modes:

• None – disables auto connection functionality.
• Hands Free – FMB120 starts to search external hands free headset. If FMB120 finds device which matches user defined Externar MAC or External Name then FMB120 will try to pair with that external device. If external device asks for PIN then FMB120 will send user defined External PIN. After successfull pairing FMB120 will connect to paired device.
• OBDII – FMB120 starts to search external OBDII Bluetooth dongle. If FMB120 finds device which matches user defined Externar MAC or External Name then FMB120 will try to pair with that external device. If external device asks for PIN then FMB120 will send user defined External PIN. After successful pairing FMB120 will connect to paired device.
• Data Link – BT Data link mode is enabled by Configurator “Data Link” parameter: When Data Link is configured and FMB has a link with server, paired device could send messages via Bluetooth SPP profile directly to server. Messages will be encoded by codec12.

FMB120 supports ONE connection at a time. FMB001 can see up to 10 available devices. If there are more then 10, with each scanning the list may change.

External Name parameter works as substring, this allows user to enter part of the full external device name. For example, if external device name is "HandsFreeHeadset" and user enters "HandsFree" in External Name parameter window then FMB120 will be allowed to connect to external device named "HandsFreeHeadset".

These are instructions how to easily prepare Bluetooth Hands Free device connection to FMB device. First we need to configure FMB device Bluetooth settings for proper connection to this hands-free unit. These are required steps:

• Press „Bluetooth“ settings (position 1).
• Turn on BT Radio by pressing „Enable (visible)“ (position 2). “Local name” (position 3) automatically will be “FMB120_last 7 imei digits”, you can leave it or type your own name.
• Set Security Mode (position 4) to “PIN only” or “None” (you could select “PIN + MAC list” or “MAC list only” security mode but in this case you need to type external device MAC address in “Authorized Devices MAC List” (position 7).
• Set connection mode to “Hands Free” (position 5).
• Set „External Name“ (position 6) as your Hands Free device name for proper device identification and connection to it. In this example Hands Free headset name is „DMH10“ but at least 2 characters are needed to recognize it and connect to it. For better and faster adapter identification in network you could enter a full device name. You could check your Hands Free adapter Bluetooth name by scanning nearby Bluetooth devices using mobile phone or computer with Bluetooth adapter.
• Go to “SMS \ Call Settings” in left menu and set “Incoming Call Action” to “Do Nothing” visible on next figure.
• After all these steps press „Save to device“ to save configuration.
• Now you can disconnect FMB device from a configurator.

Connecting Bluetooth Hands Free adapter

Hands Free device then turn on its Bluetooth connection for pairing following your model instructions1. Hands Free adapter should make a special sound in ear from speaker or its led identification should change to inform about successful connection. To check if adapter is successfully connected, call to FMB device, Hands Free device should start ringing. If you later restart FMB device it will automatically connect to this adapter.

Device’s log using your mobile phone

When FMB device starts, automatically Bluetooth is ON too. Take your mobile phone, go to settings>Bluetooth and turn it on. Scan for near by devices, find you device in list, distinguish device by last IMEI numbers on device module. Press pair, wait until device will ask to enter pairing password, type: 5555. Paired device will show up in paired device list. Now download from play store/app store terminal for Bluetooth. E.g BlueTerm. Run app, click find>connect to your paired device. Now we need to send command to FMB120 from Bluetooth terminal, type: .log:1
Device will respond Debug enabled and FMB1YX log will how up. Do not forget to start save log file to mobile phone.

Device debug over Android smartphone

In order to pair FMB device with Android smartphone, make sure that BT radio is enabled (visible) in device configuration. It can be checked via SMS command too:
getparam 800
The answer has to be 2, which means “Enabled and visible”.

• Scan for visible BT devices using your Android smartphone and connect to your FMB device.
  Default FMB BT name: MB1YX_last_7_imei_digits.
  Default PIN code: 5555.

• Download “Bluetooth Terminal” application. You can use the following link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatflabs.btt

• Run Bluetooth Terminal. In menu press “Connect” button and select paired FMB device. To start log check CR and enter the command in terminal: .log:1.

• Wait ~10 minutes and press “Save” button in menu. You will find saved log file in device folder (My Files/Bluetooth Terminal), select log files and press button Share via Email and send them to the Teltonika support.
