4.1.2 Creating a New Bluetooth System
Requirement:
☐ A free NetID must have been set for the devices of your Bluetooth system (see the respective
device manuals).
Procedure:
1. Start Sunny Explorer.
☑ The system assistant opens.
2. Select Enter a new system in the system assistant.
3. Enter the desired name for the system in the field System name. This name can be freely
selected and will be used as the file name for the system file.
4. To configure a different directory for saving the system file, click on the button [...] in the field
Directory.
5. Select [Next].
6. In the drop-down list Communication type, select the entry Bluetooth and then [Next].
☑ Sunny Explorer searches for all Bluetooth systems within radio range and lists the NetIDs of
the Bluetooth systems detected in the field Systems found.
– If Sunny Explorer does not list the NetID of your Bluetooth system, refer to Troubleshooting
(see Section 10 "Troubleshooting", page 50).
You can either specify the device through which Sunny Explorer should connect to the entire Bluetooth
system yourself, or have it selected automatically by Sunny Explorer. Sunny Explorer (master)
connects directly to the selected device (slave).
By bypassing all other Bluetooth nodes, this enables significantly faster data transmission between
Sunny Explorer and the selected device.
If you are not sure which option to choose, select the NetID of your system.
– Automatic: If Sunny Explorer is to select the root
node automatically, select the NetID of your
system.
Always commission a Bluetooth system with only one master.
Always commission a Bluetooth system with strictly only one master (e. g., Sunny Explorer).
As soon as the Bluetooth network is up and running, you can integrate further masters into the
Bluetooth network.
