Frequenty Asked Questions:
Q - Is it possible to use one PCB with one common footprint that will be able to use either the WT11 or WT12 module?
A - Yes a PCB designed for one module can be used with the other module provided the 3 extra pins on the WT12 (pins 29-31) are not used. Also keep in mind that the PCB meant for both modules must be designed ensuring that there is no ground plane present below the antenna.
Q - If a Bluegiga module is in "PAGEMODE 2" (e.g. command = "SET BT PAGEMODE 2 2000 1"), then would I be correct in saying that no RF transmissions are sent from the module unless a CALL is made to it (e.g. "CALL 00:07:80:80:52:27 1 RFCOMM")? We believe that there will be no RF transmission from the device in "PAGEMODE 2" unless a "CALL" is made to it (completely silent over RF and only receiving data).
A - With PAGEMODE 2 iWRAP cannot be "seen" by other devices in an inquiry. The module is connectable and it can also establish connections of its own. In PAGEMODE 2 the module doesn't emit any RF unless link is opened. The radio is only listening to RF traffic between certain intervals.
Q -
We have 3 units on a piconet, A, B and C:
(B) calls (A). (A) is master, (B) is slave on the link - this works.
(C) calls (A). (C) is master, (A) is slave on the link - this doesn't.
We know that we can manually change the link role using "SET {link id}
SLAVE", but want to manage the roles automatically using the values set in the command "SET BT ROLE {ms_policy} {link_policy} {supervision_timeout}".
A - We have isolated this bug to the CSR firmware so we really cannot do anything about it immediately. The only workaround for this is that the A device needs to manually give "SET [link id] SLAVE" command after the connection with the C is established.
