AIRcable - Long Range Bluetooth Devices

Support : Nextel : Quickstart Guide

Introduction

AIRcable for Nextel provides a fast, convenient way of connecting Nextel cell phones to other Bluetooth devices, and it also supports a user accessible command line interface for configuration accessible from Java software. AIRcable for Nextel removes the need for physical connection, so you can run the same software that would support a physical cable. This product runs firmware—based onboard Bluetooth connection software and doesn't need to update the phones firmware. It is a Bluetooth 1.1 certified and is compatible with all other Bluetooth compatible devices.

The AIRcable for Nextel comes pre configured for incoming connections (dial-up). Authentication is enable which means the user has to type in a PIN code. The PIN code is the 5 digits at the end of the name “AIRcable 12345” when discovering the name of the Bluetooth device.

Installation

To activate the AIRcable device, follow the steps below:

Connect the AIRcable to Nextel to the phone.
The device has a connection LED (blue) that shows the status of connection. So, when the lights start blinking, the AIRcable for Nextel is waiting for an incoming connection. When the light is on, a connection to another device has been made active.
Change you phone’s band rate to 115200 baud.
For your PDA, discover the AIRcable for Nextel and create a new dial-up connection. For Nextel, use “S=2” as the phone number.
