Hardware
Switches
The following are pin assignments for the switches on the back of the BT-120/121 adapters:
1. Flow Control Pin: ON for no flow control, OFF for CTS/RTS flow control.
2. Not Assigned
3. Programming Pin: ON for normal mode, OFF to run Boot Loader.
4. Not Assigned
Power Jack
Our adapters use a power supply, 5-9 VDC, with a 1.3mm jack.
Connector Types
The BT-120 adapter has a female DB9 serial connector. To connect to a PC, it may use a straight DB9
serial cable M/M.
The BT-121 adapter has a male DB9 serial connector. To connect to a PC, it may use a null modem DB9
serial cable F/F.
LEDs
The following are functional assignments for the LEDs on the BT-120/121 adapters:
LED 1, Not Assigned
LED 2, CPU Active
LED 3, RF Link Active
