Configuration as Generic PC Interface or as Bridge 20 (64)
7.3 Configuring a Bridge
Several Bluetooth devices can be connected as Master and Slave.
Use only CANblue II devices with the same firmware version for a bridge. If CANblue II
devices with new firmware version (V2.01.07 and higher) and CANblue II devices with an
older firmware version are used in a Bridge contact Ixxat support for information about
the compatibility.
Fig. 8 Configuring a bridge
To simplify the configuration, deactivate the transmission of CAN messages by the Master:
Stop the CAN controller with command C CAN_STOP or disable the transmission of CAN messages on
the connection with command C SEND_CAN_FRAMES OFF.
► Make sure, that the software package and the virtual COM port are installed.
► Make sure, that the virtual COM ports are installed for all devices and that the connection is
established.
► Start and configure the desired configuration tool (see Configuration Tools, p. 16).
► Configure the devices like an interface (see Configuring an Interface, p. 18).
► Enable the autostart mode with command C AUTOSTART ON on both devices (for further
information see Autostart, p. 22).
► With the desired Master device enter command D MAC_ADD <address of slave>.
→ Device acts as Master and connects to the Slave.
→ Devices start automatically.
→ Devices function as a Bridge between the two CAN networks.
► Save the configurations on both devices with the commands C CONFIG SAVE.
