Sorry,
That sure does confuse things. I suppose I shouldn't give my advise
or opinions on stuff I haven't tried. :-) I was certain that
another option would have been added in the list of bluetooth
services as part of the upgrade to allow you to use BlueTooth as the
connection means for speech or braille display. I hope I'll get
around to testing that sometime soon. I probably won't succeed, but
in case I do I'll let you know how.
There really should be something in the manual about that.

Yes, I understand that ActiveSync may cause a chalange. However, when on
the BN you turn BlueTooth on, Sirch for devices, and pick the computer, the
list of services only contains: ActiveSync, Modem and printer as supported
services. There are a couple other unsupported services. Since
you have to
pick one to pair the two, which one should I pick? It seems to me that
ActiveSync is the only reasonable one.
Also, as I said in my original post, I can find nothing on this in the
manual so if someone knows where to find info on this, I am more than happy
to go read up on it <grin>

I really think activesync has nothing to do with the procedure, so I would
try disabling activesync before installing and running your
BrailleNote as a
braille terminal with Window-Eyes. I'm no longer a Window-Eyes user, so I
don't know the procedure for setting up a braille display, so don't ask me
about the details. I just know that activesync is a problem not an asset
when using a BraileNote as a display with JAWS, which I haven't tried with
bluetooth yet, because I just got my keysoft upgrade completed about 15
minutes ago. :-)

Good morning Robert.
Yes, I am using Window-Eyes. If you have any comments/insights, I would
be
more than happy to hear them.
My situation is the following:
I do not have ActiveSync working yet because my Bluetooth cereal port is
set
to 14 and I so far have been unable to change it to anything lower than
that, and according to Dean Jackson, ActiveSync will only use ports less
than 10.
So, I may have to fix that first.
What is happening:
On my Computer, I have told Window-Eyes to use the BrailleNote as the
Braille display and use com-14 (the Bluetooth cereal port).
I can get the BN and computer paired by activating ActiveSync.
When I try going to the BrailleTerminal, and selecting
Bluetooth, it tells
me "cereal port not available"
Now, for an interesting experiment:
I tried activating the modem Bluetooth profile on the BN.
Next on the BN I went to BrailleTerminal and said to use Bluetooth.
The BN connected to the computer just fine.
Of course, it did not work as a Braille display, but it did connect.
I hope my rambling made some since <grin>
Thanks for any help.
Scott

Hi Scott,
I have the BrailleNote working as a braille display with Window-Eyes.
If you are using Window-Eyes, I might be able to help. If you are
using jaws, I am afraid you will have to try someone else.
