Bluesmirf Silver V2 - Red Led on Solid

Wireless & IoT
1

I have an older (2010?) bluesmirf silver V2. I used it successfully years ago, i believe at 115kbps.

It has unlabelled red and green LEDs. When I power it on, the red led comes on steadily rather than blinking.

I have tried connecting to it from a mac which says it is paired but not connected.

From windows I can add it but pairing it with code 1234 fails authentication. If I pair it without a code, it pairs and I have two devices com10 and com11 after a few seconds i get a popup saying a bluetooth device is trying to conect and it insists on a pairing code - again the 1234 fails. It’s vaguesly possible that I changed the pairing code years ago but i would doubt it.

First question, should the red led blink on power on or not? Do i need to reset it somehow?

Thanks codlink:

no luck with the baud rates and connections i tried but at least that page indicates the red led is on steady.
