http://cgproducts.johnsoncontrols.com/default.aspx

Document IntroductionThis document describes how to install the supported Bluetooth® wireless adapters and commission your FX-PCTProgram and Commissioning Tool laptop or desktop computer to communicate with the Bluetooth WirelessCommissioning Converter (BTCVT).

Note: In other documentation, the Bluetooth Commissioning Converter may be referred to as the WirelessCommissioning Converter.

This document assumes that you have already installed the FX-PCT software on your computer.

FX-PCT supports the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 operating systems. Windows XP® is no longersupported for FX-PCT software at Release 10.1.

Note: You cannot commission your FX-PCT laptop or desktop for Bluetooth communication if it is running aserver-class operating system, such as Windows Server® 2008 or Windows Server 2012.

To complete all of the procedures in this document, you must also have a Bluetooth Commissioning Converterconnected to a powered-on FX-PC controller (refer to the FX-BTCVTBluetooth®Commissioning Converter InstallationInstructions (Part No. 24-10108-10)).

Note: The Bluetooth Commissioning Converter can be used in conjunction with the FX-ZFR Series Wireless FieldBus System; however, the wireless technologies of the Bluetooth Commissioning Converter and the FX-ZFRSeries System do not directly interact. When the Bluetooth Commissioning Converter is connected on thehard-wired portion of a Field Controller (FC) Bus, it can be used to commission and communicate with anyFX-PC controller, whether it is hardwired to the FC Bus or wirelessly enabled through the FX-ZFR SeriesWireless Field Bus System.When the Bluetooth Commissioning Converter is connected directly to a wirelesslyenabled FX-PC controller, it commissions and communicates with only that controller.

Concepts

Bluetooth Wireless Technology Modules and AdaptersBluetooth allows the FX-PCT software to connect the Bluetooth Commissioning Converter for uploading anddownloading FX-PC controller applications.

The computer that is running FX-PCT must have Bluetooth wireless capabilities to communicate with the BluetoothCommissioning Converter. We recommend that you do not install an external Bluetooth wireless adapter if Bluetoothtechnology is already built in.

You can commission the following types of laptop computers to communicate with the Bluetooth CommissioningConverter:

• a laptop computer with an internal Bluetooth wireless module• a laptop or desktop computer with a Bluetooth wireless USB adapter

If you do not have Bluetooth technology built in to your computer and you must install a Bluetooth wireless USBadapter, see Installing the Bluetooth Wireless USB Adapter for directions. After the Bluetooth wireless adapter isinstalled and configured, you do not need to configure it again until software or hardware configurations change.

For the latest list of laptop computers with internal Bluetooth wireless modules and USB adapters, Johnson Controls®employees should refer to the Computer Price List available on the Johnson Controls Portal intranet site by InformationTechnology - Acquisition Services (ITAS). Otherwise, please contact your Johnson Controls representative if youneed assistance.


Bluetooth Quick Start GuideThis quick start guide leads you through the Bluetooth device setup for Windows 7. Your steps may vary dependingon the vendor of the Bluetooth wireless device and your operating system.

You must repeat steps 1–12 for each Bluetooth converter you set up, because each device is assigned its own COMport.

Note: The BTCVT Bluetooth Commissioning Converter used during this procedure should be the one that youintend to use when uploading and downloading FX-PC controllers. This procedure allows your computer topair with the Bluetooth Commissioning Converter. You can pair with more than one Bluetooth CommissioningConverter, but you can only connect to one converter at a time.

Locate your BTCVT Bluetooth Commissioning Converter.

Plug your BTCVT Bluetooth Commissioning Converter into the SA BUS port or the FC BUS porton your FX-PC controller.

On the BTCVT, verify that the Power LED is green, and that the Fault LED is off.


Verify that your computer's wireless is turned on. Typically, the internal wireless on/off button is onthe side of the laptop or above the keyboard.

Note: Usually, a wireless button or icon lights up when the internal wireless is on. The followingimages are examples of typical wireless icons.

Right-click the Bluetooth icon ( ) in your system tray, and then select Add a Device from thepop-up menu. The Add a device wizard appears, and Windows searches for devices within range.
