Title: Re: Is there a way to automatically RE-discover a previously ignored BT device?
Post by: golgoj4 on February 21, 2008, 12:04:33 am

try looking in the webadmin.

• Login
• On the top navigation, there should be a button called 'Advanced' 
• Under 'Advanced' other options appear down the list is 'Unknown Devices'
• Find the device which looks like the one in question and click the 'Unlock' button next to it

That should get it to bring up the prompt again. As far as which version, im not sure. I have an older smartphone so im not sure if the software will run on the newer platform.

hope this helps.

what he said, but you may find it under Advanced/Configuration/Unknown Devices. :)

Thanks to both of you  ;D.

It's still not quite working though... I think it does find the phone, but does not do anything useful with it (like asking me if I want to use it!). See the log:

Repeated ad infinitum.

What's going on here? It is not on the devices list, AND not on the unknown list....

Is this mac ID for the Phone or the Bluetooth Dongle?
it almost looks like it's not bonded..
try this:
on your phone, see if you can PAIR the phone to the bluetooth Dongle.

That is basically the handshake, without the pairing, all you'll get it 'I see the device.' (and you may not even get that)

HTH,
