Introduction
Welcome to the LM Technologies Bluetooth RS232 Serial adapter. The
LM048/LM058 adapter eliminates your conventional RS232 serial
cables, providing an easy-to-use, invisible connection with superior
freedom of movement. This adapter allows any device with a
standard 9-pin serial port to communicate wirelessly.
This adapter can use both RTS/CTS flow control or DTR/DSR
handshaking. This adapter is capable emulating a serial cable in true
sense by transferring all the RS232 controls signals (RTS, CTS, DTR
and DSR) wirelessly to the remote side over a bluetooth link. This
capability is beneficial in case of Serial Printers which report error
conditions like “Out of Paper”, “Power failure” etc by de-asserting
the DTR or RTS lines.
This adapter is mostly used in pairs as serial cable replacement.
However, you can communicate with another Bluetooth serial
adapter or other Bluetooth enabled devices such as a laptop
computer, PDA or mobile phone.
