I’m kind of at a loss. With my BT dongle it uses the Toshiba BT stack. I can assign the USB BT dongle whatever com port I want (it’s com40). This configuration is complete separate from Hyperterm com port settings. In the BT manager I can also configure the pin.So what I do first is connect/pair the USB dongle to the SMiRF. I don’t have to do this, I can set the BT to connect any time the BT is opened. All this does is establish a “virtual” com port. Hyper term doesn’t know it’s going over a wireless connection.
My hyperterm settings are
115200, 8, N, 1 and Flow control to None
No echo, no extra LF, ANSIW emulation
VT100 Term
You are almost there, don’t give up. Have you disabled the security?
Regarding security. Yes, the device has been set up with “no passkey”. The “is required” is set to zero by default.
I used your exact HyperTerminal settings, except 9600 baud per the changes I made, no luck.
The BT stick I’m using, works fine with the WT11, and I guess since XP can discover the FireFly and assign it com ports, then that part works ok as well. Even the device manager can see it, and it can provide information about the device, like ‘device instance=BTHENUM\etc’, ‘power state mappings, S0->unspecified - S1->unspecified etc’.
