• Adapter will be a serial port profile acceptor as default. It can be reprogrammed to be an

initiator but will require a specific BD address that it will connect with to be programmed

in.

• If the Adapter is in ‘imitator’ mode, it will be a Bluetooth Master device, and when it

connects to another device and that device requests a role reversal, the Adapter must accept

the reversal and become a slave. If the Adapter is in ‘acceptor’ mode, it will be a slave and

will not request any role reversal.

• Baud rates configurable from 9,600 – 230,000
