BC127HD to BC127HD Analog Voice/Audio

I am trying to connect two BC127HD Discovery Boards so that I can pass analog voice/audio from board to board. Fig 4-1 in the BC127 Discovery Board Manual (Rev 1 March 17) appears to show this is possible and the Sierra Wireless FAE sent me instructions to set this up but so far I am unable to get analog voice/audio to pass from board to board. Stereo Mic In on one board and out Stereo Headphone Out on the second board. The two BC127HD discovery boards appear to be connected and the LEDs blink synchronously every 2.5 seconds but I am unable to inject analog audio in one board (Stereo Mic In) and get it to come out the second board (Stereo Headphone Out) and visa versa. . Below are the commands, config and status of the two boards. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jim,
One BC127 should be configured as an A2DP Source (transmitter) while the other BC127 should be configured as A2DP Sink (receiver). You have to update the PROFILES configuration for this. Then WRITE, RESET, UNPAIR and try again.

SW-Ad

I really appreciate that you took the time to respond. I did try your suggestion but then I was not successful at pairing the two boards. I initiated the OPEN 20FABB09B606 A2DP command but got error 0012. Then i tried PAIR 20FABB09B606 and it return an OK to pairing but the LEDs on both boards continue to rapidly flash blue/green so they do not appear to be paired - and no audio is passing.

In the end i am looking to set up the boards so that voice goes both directions, not just from the source to a sink, like when playing music.

Hi Jim,
The command is OPEN, not CONNECT (OPEN 20FABB09B606 A2DP).

Very sorry about that fat finger. I did redo the procedure with the correct OPEN command and the boards pair but i still cannot get audio. I have tried multiple audio sources and sinks and directions just to make sure and the sources and sinks are working. I just cannot get the audio to pass from board to board. I have paired the boards with mobiles and passed audio so the boards and audio sources work.
