Connecting PXdragon DR-9400 Modem to PC via Bluetooth

Bluetooth Interface

Info
A Bluetooth feature license is required for Bluetooth operation, see the WLAN section above.
Info
You do not need a so-called passkey for pairing.

After powering on, the DR-9400 modem always appears as a Bluetooth device named "SCS PXdragon 9400 on BT-USB".

On Windows, pairing is typically started with:

1. Right-click the Bluetooth Icon in the System Tray
2. Select Bluetooth and Other Devices
3. Choose Add Bluetooth or Another Device
4. Select SCS PXdragon 9400 on BT-USB
5. As soon as the pairing message appears, please briefly press the reset button and then click on CONNECT.

This process creates two new virtual COM ports. It is usually necessary to test which port is the "out-going" port, as it is not always the higher-numbered one.

Communication with the modem over this port can be established similarly to how it is done over the USB-COM port.
