Bluetooth / BLE-MIDI
The BomeBox does not have a built-in Bluetooth radio, so you
cannot directly use BLE-MIDI (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices
with the BomeBox.
WIDI BUD
However, there is a trick: you can use CME's WIDI BUD to
connect one standard BLE-MIDI device to the BomeBox by
plugging the WIDI BUD into the USB host port of the Bome-
Box. Note: not only CME devices work, we have tested with
many different BLE-MIDI devices from different manufactur-
ers.
You will need to pair the WIDI BUD with the BLE-MIDI device
once on a computer using the WIDI PLUS software available
from CME, too. Then the pairing is stored in the WIDI BUD and
you can use it on the BomeBox.

USB Bluetooth Dongles
We are working on a technical solution to support generic USB
Bluetooth dongles to be used with the BomeBox for using BLE-
MIDI devices without resorting to the WIDI BUD. That will be a
firmware update.
Networking
Ethernet
The two Ethernet connectors on the Bome-
Box work as a 2-port Ethernet switch: both
connectors work the same for networking.
