Belkin adapter drivers & P800

Posted: 12-01-2003, 01:21 PM
Hi,

I got a belkin F8T001 bluetooth adapter - the 100m range one.

It has v1.2 Widcomm drivers.

I could only initiate a serial connection between phone and PC from
the PC. Never from the phone.

I expected the PC and phone to connect as soon as they discovered each
other after pairing. (Or at least the driver software should be
capable of doing such a thing).

Anyway this doesn't happen - always have to connect from the PC.

There are some v1.4 drivers out there - anyone know if they solve this
issue?

Alternatively, are there any other brands of adapter which people know
to work in the way I require? (Basically connect automatically when in range)


Thanks very much, Dave

As far as I know there are no drivers that will auto-connect the Belkin to
the P800. Since there are several differnt possible services that you could
initiate between the PC and the phone you have to select the one that you
want.

Once you create a trusted pair relationship you should not have to go
through the discovery process again. You should be able to initiate an
action from the phone and have the PC respond accordingly. For example, you
should be able to send a pic file from the phone using Bluetooth and the PC
should be able to accept it without having to manually make the serial
connection. On a Win XP machine you may have to click on the pop-up that
indicates that another machine is trying to activate a Bluetooth connection.
On my machine a file transfer, like a pic, is done automatically from the
phone.

Cheers
TC
