SerialMagic Support - Configuring BlueSnap RS-232 Hardware
"I recently purchased one of your BlueSnap RS-232 serial Bluetooth Dongle products. It works wonderfully! I'm sure that you have companies that are doing groundbreaking work with your products, mine is self serving. I have developed a home automated bar. It is a simple setup using relay activated valves connected to CO2 pressurized "adult beverage" containers. The relays are on a serial board and I really wanted to communicate with them via my PDA. With the help of your bluetooth dongle I can do so wirelessly. With the touchscreen interface to a Visual Basic program created for Pocket PC 2003, I can order one of hundreds of drinks from my 16 beverage ingredients. Thank you for your product and the role it plays in my computerized system!"

Background
Traditionally, BlueSnap RS-232 devices come pre-setup with a specific set of settings. Many times, however, these settings are not correct for their partner device(s). In the past, the only way to modify the BlueSnap settings was to hook it up to a PC with a null-modem cable, and using a Terminal application, send it specific commands. With the new feature set of SerialMagic Professional, you can remotely setup BlueSnap devices wirelessly,
via Bluetooth, using a simple user interface (although this document will outline the Terminal method as well).
Remote BlueSnap Configuration is available to SerialMagic Professional on Windows, Windows Mobile (Pocket-PC) and Smartphone, as well as PalmOS using ProTX "Send Command." (SerialMagic does not need to be registered to utilize this feature).
