The following chapters describe the

General

tab settings for

Option1

and

Option3

.

Bluetooth® mode​

The Bluetooth® mode parameter supports the following functionality in different modes:

  • Single mode LE – Only the Low Energy.

  • Single mode BR/EDR – Only the Basic Rate (BR)/Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) or "classic" Bluetooth®.

  • Dual mode – Both the Low Energy and BR/EDR.

Class of device​

The Class of Device group of parameters indicates the device type and is available in Single mode BR/EDR or Dual mode :

  • Service classes – Defines the general categories of devices your application will be associated with.

  • Major – Defines the main device’s function.

  • Minor 1 – Extends the Major device class value.

  • Minor 2 – Extends the Major device class value.

Isochronous Connection configuration​

The

Isochronous Connection

configuration group is located in the

General LE

tab and is available in

Single mode LE

, and

Dual mode

. Isochronous Channels support is one of the main new features added in Bluetooth® specification 5.2. In conjunction with new GATT Audio profiles, it supports Bluetooth® LE Audio transport. LE Audio exists in the two main forms:

  • Multi-Stream Audio – Supports the connection between an audio source device and one or more audio sink devices. It is bidirectional, with acknowledgments.

  • Auracast™ Broadcast audio. – Supports the broadcasting of one or more audio streams from the source to an unlimited number of sink devices. It is unidirectional, without acknowledgments.

Isochronous Connection configuration

parameters:

  • Max SDU size – The maximum size of Service Data Unit (octets).

  • Max audio channels per packet – The maximum number of audio channels (left, right …) contained in one packet.

  • Max number of CIS connections – The maximum number of Connected Isochronous Stream connections. CIS is point-to-point, bidirectional connection between the central and peripheral device.

  • Max number of CIG connections – The maximum number of Connected Isochronous Groups. CIG is the group of one or more Connected Isochronous Streams created by the central device.

  • Max number of buffers per CIS – The maximum number of buffers per one Connected Isochronous Stream.

  • Max number of BIG connections – The maximum number of Broadcast Isochronous Groups. BIG is the group of one or more Broadcast Isochronous Streams created by the Isochronous Broadcaster device.

BR/EDR configuration​

The

BR/EDR configuration

group of parameters is available only for

Single mode BR/EDR

and

Dual mode

:

  • Max simultaneous connections

  • Max size of received L2CAP PDU
