Wireless Cable Replacement
The Wireless Serial Adapter (CSA) eliminates conventional RS-232 serial cables through Bluetooth® wireless technology. This small adapter has a Class 2 Bluetooth radio with a range up to 10 meters/30 feet and an integrated antenna. The CSA enables a device with a standard 9-pin serial port to communicate with another CSA or other Bluetooth enabled device. Using the CSA couldn’t be easier because no drivers are necessary—just plug it in and your device connects wirelessly!

Included in the package is an AC adapter which powers the CSA, a 9-pin female/female null modem connector and a CD with the configuration utility and documentation.

Flexible Configuration Software
The Wireless Serial Adapter Configuration Utility is an easy-to-use application which lets you reprogram many of the default settings on your CSA. It also enables you to set up connections and designate whether a CSA is in Acceptor or Initiator mode. The utility runs under Windows 98SE/Me/2K/XP.

CSA Configuation Utility Window

You can also program the Wireless Serial Adapter manually through AT commands via a terminal device. The Socket Wireless Serial Command Set User’s Guide, located on the installation CD, provides extensive options for custom configurations.

The CSA is primarily designed for use with industrial serial equipment. It is not intended for some consumer serial devices including but not limited to: cellular phone data cables, 56K modems, digital camera data cables, joysticks, mice, keyboards, Pocket PC cradles, scanners, etc.

The CSA is not designed to Bluetooth enable your computer for ActiveSync; use Socket’s USB Adapter or CF Card + Adapter instead.

When devices use different signals, (e.g., DTR/DSR for hand-shaking or not) such as a “3-Wire” serial interface, flow control may not be necessary. Read this Tech Note to see if the CSA can work with your serial device.

Custom versions of the CSA are available to OEMs. Please contact Socket’s Scansmart.
