bluetooth db9 adapter - one comm port after another
I snagged a socket bluetooth db9 serial adapter, which allows me some
valuable flexibility in doing some wireless lab communications with our hardware over hyperterminal. http://www.socketcom.com/product/CS0400-479.asp I've been having some trouble initiating the wireless link. I'm using the built in windows XP sp2 bluetooth support rather than the drivers that come with my dlink DBT-120 bluetooth adapter. I've tried removing the socket adapter from my bluetooth devices control panel and re-adding it, and that seems to get the connection back, but each time I did that, it jumped up two comm ports.. Was comm 5 and 6, after removing and re-dececting it then takes comm 7 and 8. How do I tell XP to release my comm ports that this thing is reserving and then abandoning after I re-add? Also, since I have need to do flash memory firmware updates over bluetooth, is there increased error redundancy checking I can use to decrease the chance of writing bad data from wireless tranmission errors? I haven't had any problems with that yet and would prefer to keep things that way. what sort of settings do I want on the socket adapter? should it initiate sessions or accept sessions? I assume either way should work since I'm just trying to open a hyperterminal window to the thing. |
