BT232 / BT432

Situations causing “Connect Fail aa” error message as follows.

Crossover type of RS232 cable should be used for connection between PC and Bluetooth Serial adapter.
Please check if the RS232 cable type is correct or not.

Situation #2

The Bluetooth Serial adapter assigned COM port is occupied (in use) by another Serial host device.

PC system usually reserves COM1 & COM2 for other use.
