OPERATING MODES
0-Slave Mode - The default mode, whereby other devices can discover and connect to the FirePlug.
1 - Master Mode (SM,1<CR>) Enables outbound connections. To connect, use the “C” command.
2-Trigger Mode (SM,2<CR>) Automatically connects to stored address, when data is received on
local serial port of master.
3-Auto Master Mode (SM,3<CR>) Automatically connects to stored address on power up. If no
address is stored, inquiry is performed until a device is found.
4-DTR Master Mode (SM,4<CR>) Automatically connects to stored address based on the
enabled (active) state of the DTR output signal from PC com port. Automatically disconnects
when DTR is taken away (disabled).
5-ANY Master Mode (SM,5<CR>) Automatically does continuous discovery until it finds a device
to connect to. Does not store any addresses, always picks the first device found (based on
matching the COD set using the SC and SD commands). Uses the DTR signal to initiate discovery,
connect, and disconnect.
NOTE: In all master modes the device will not be discoverable or remote configurable.

Initial Setup
Just plug the FirePlug into any USB port, on Windows, Apple MAC, or Linux PC. Fireplug uses the
FTDI 232RL chip, drivers for this are built in on MAC OS and Linux, and some Windows XP
machines. If not, the PC can automatically search and install the required drivers. Once the driver
installs, you can check what COM port was installed by Using the Device Manager under
Windows. Look under the Ports( COM & LPT) section and you should find a COM port with the
name “USB Serial Port”.
Baudrate
and forth over a VIRTUAL COM via the USB port, there generally is no need to change this.
However, some older programs require other baudrates or parity settings. If required, the FirePlug
can be changed to these settings, then rebooted and the new settings will take effect.
The FirePlug defaults to

MODE
