I have the T-mobile XDA communicating with the web in terminal mode through RS232-to-LAN and a WAN adapters (NOT PC pass-through). My results are available at:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/prutchi/xda_connectivity.doc
Although I manage to communicate with resources on the net via a terminal (ping, telnet, etc.), I haven't been able to trick IE into accepting my RS232 feed.
How can I restore access to the "serial cable" adapter in the T-Mobile XDA?
Is there an adapter driver that opens a socket such that IE can receive data from COM1 without expecting a modem transaction?
Thanks,
David

Judging by the number of topics on Activesync and Bluetooth a lot of people seem to be having difficulty synchronising their XDAII via Bluetooth. I am no exception.
I bought a Bluetooth PCMCIA card from eBay made by Sphinx Elektroniks (Germany) which came with Bluetooth Monitor v1.0.14 Build 1 software. See
http://www.sphinx-elektronik.de/deutsch/bluetooth/picocard_tech.htm
Whilst my XDAII and PC have bonded ok with the XDAII clearly visible in the Environment pane, it does not seem possible to either transfer files between XDAII and PC nor to get Activesync to work. There is no Activesync profile (from what I can see) in the Bluetooth Monitor software, there are only 3 "services" listed:
- SSA (this has modem symbol)
- ? OBEX Object Push
- ? Service Discovery
I have tried installing the first two on an available serial COM port, e.g. 2, 5 or 6 and then going into Activesync on the PC and trying to "Get connected" but the PC can't see the any of these ports when it looks for a mobile device. The third of the services in the list above reports an error "the service cannot be installed. SCN (service channel number) is 0". I have also tried to initiate Bluetooth connection from the XDAII, both via the Settings, System, Bluetooth Settings, Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup "Start". I have also made sure that the PC ActiveSync Connection Settings has the "allow serial cable or infrared connection to this COM port" is enabled but the ports 2, 5 or 6 are not visible.
So it seems I am stuck. Anyone else had similar problems or had any success with this type of Bluetooth card?
If the card supports serial profile it should work, just make sure you have not bonded with anything on your xda2, go to settings/system/bluetooth, choose the "sync by bluetooth" it will tell you to bond with a serial profile capable bt service, let it search. Make sure you are in discover mode. I have a cheap bt dongle which came with the widcomm software and I am using bluetooth to sync and I am able to surf the web anywhere in the house on my xda2. I can even use my pc as my headset and listen to the phone through the pc speakers and use the mic to speak to the phone.
I just checked that site and it seems that your card does support serial profile so it should work. If it has the bluetooth wizard you need to set up all the protocols that you will be using first.
Hi cruisin-thru,
Yes I saw your earlier post about your success with your cheap Bluetooth dongle. I'm glad you got it working.
Sadly, I've already tried your suggested method but when I do the Settings/System/Bluetooth Settings and click the "Start" button for Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup (which is what I assume you are referring to) it comes up with the error message "Please bond with other Bluetooth device which supports serial port or ActiveSync profile as your ActiveSync partner!". When I click ok it goes to the Bluetooth mode screen (which shows "Discoverable" still. I can only conclude that my Pico card is not compatible with ActiveSync or serial port modes.
My XDAII synchronises fine by USB and IrDA but Bluetooth would be good for surfing, as you know.

You definitely have the serial profiles activated on your pc??
Dear Cruisin-thru,
Thanks for your help on this subject but the Pico card & software I have just don't work with the XDAII. There is no way to do the serial port profiles in a way that the XDAII can see it. I have decided to abandon the Pico card and to go for the dongle that you recommended. For the benefit of all XDAII users who want to sync by Bluetooth, cruisin-thru kindly supplied the following link on eBay for the USB Bluetooth dongle that does work:

Regards -- Rafil.
Here is a link to the software I am using with the dongle.

Make sure the dongle is unplugged until you get the prompt. Make sure previous software is removed also.
Hi everybody,
I've a Qtek2020 smart phone. I would like to access my lan' pc from my PDA when it is connected to serial/usb cradle.
I can ping the pc to wich the pda is attached and I can open in internet explorer a page served from the pc IIS server. But my problem is that the PDA identifies itsel with the same IP address of the host pc (the pc connected to my pda)
Is there a way to let the PDA be connected via ActiveSync/serial/usb cable to the host and receive an unique IP address??? This way I will be able to send TCP/IP data to the PDA .I need this because I've a software that act as a server that need to be installed to the pda and must reply to requests that come from lan' pc.
The host pc has winXP pro. I've tried to create an "incoming connection" on this machine that accept connection on the COM2 port, using the wizard that is usually used to direct connect 2 pc via direct serial cable.
This way i think I need a special software to be installed on pda....
Any help???
Thanks a lot for any suggestion

Hi,
as here are probably the most experienced people, I am looking for some advice on my new XDA mini S. I cannot synchronise through Bluetooth the XDA with my notebook using ActiveSync 4.2, as my XDA only allows me to use for Bluetooth COM6 or COM7, however my comp does not offer me these COMs.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you.
Solution
It happens.
Do this: Connect directly via usb port and initiate active sync.
Disconnect and try connecting via Bluetooth through active sync from your device.
Your device prompts you to search for a pairable device.Make the device search for your computer.Simaltaneously make your computer search for a bluetooth device.
When both meet, set the matching passwords for both. Now your computer says that a remote device has connected to serial port "X".Your device prompts you to accept it as a serial port.Dont accept, go back.
Now you open Active sync on the desktop, go to Connection settings. There an adjustable field can be found. "Allow connections to following port".Move it to the serial port"X".
Try connection again through your bluetooth.This time your device prompts you to accept it as actisync.Accept and you are ready to go.
Well, thank you for your effort, but it seems just a bit complicated, nevertheless it has not worked...
All the servers at work have com ports for a console connection, it would be handy if I could connect using a serial lead and a terminal service to them with my XDA
Is anything available yet ?
Thanks
Serial "lead"
You may try the german company lintech's (lintech.de) RS232 Bluetooth Mini Adapter S (part No. 1409/s). Sits like a dongle on the server side and allows for serial via BT, p. e. with typical terminal progs. Works a treat..
Hello,
with the USB to Serial Adapter, connected to the Phone its possible to open a Terminal Programm and have access to the for example Cisco Console.
I look for a solution to have remote access to this console.
I am not looking for a "Remote Desktop" solution like. Teamviewer, etc.
I have in mind something like usb-device connected via IP to my windows pc, or terminal-server that translate the RS232-connection to IP and I can access via Telnet, SSH, etc.
Has anyone an idea how to do this ? ...or is there yet an APP for this, I havent found yet ?
Setup:
[Router](RS232)<->[Serial-to-USB-Adapter]<->[Android-Device] - - - Network (Wifi/Internet] - - - [Windows-PC](Terminal-Programm like TerraTerm/Putty)
Kind regards
Willi

Uhmm probaly an adapter but you need to figure out the color combo for the wires on the connectors and the right port and frequency.
Rs232 is a print input for livelogging and configuring a print.
Ssh over rs232 ternimal is mostly disabled.
So ues rs232 to usb or rj45 aka lan is possible with these conditions.
For pc
Right usb com. For usb.
Right adapter settings like ip and dns for lan adapter.
In putty
Right port.
Right ip. Aka print identyfier. Ussualy can be find by combining specific nummers on the print
Right plugin running on win7 and 10. Audio recorder ussualy works.
Right wiring order in the 2 connectors. Ussualy on the adapter you can use dipswitches or program it on the pc.
Then u will have admin control over all things the print supports.
