Drifter, would appreciate your help comments;
I received my SiteComBluetooth CF Adapter yesterday
- Async X5 = ok (CF card driver and Software)
- BT CF SITECOM Model No CN501
- Serial Number 03050200577
- BAR code 8 716502 003037
- downloaded the registry program; default names are matching as stated Compact_Flash-Bluetooth_Card-2F7E and the listed default COM Port 5 is matching.
Problem:
- when X5 (2003) Power On the BT adapter will blink, followed by showing the following error message on the X5:
"Sorry, Bluetooth can only be used with authorized Compact Flash cards and software." My Q.: authorized.... what does that mean?)
- the BT Icon at the bottom right will then show the red error sign as wel
- clicking on Start/Programs/Bluetooth Manager will result in another error message; i.e. "The BT radio failed to turn on due to insufficient driver memory available. You must perform a normal reset before you can turn ON the BT Radio. (I have soft "reset" several times via the stylus X5 side reset button = result no difference)
- when attemting the hack and changing/saving the Port from 5 to 6 or 7 (matching each time) - they will show 5 again when running the registry program (despite the response to "save" was Yes).
- Laptop with active BT search doesn't "see" the X5/Sitecom ever
- I tried the setup by running the CF Win XP Laptop Sitecom version - and the BT adapter "blinked" but is not functional in my Sony Laptop either.
Any reference available showing the exact steps you used to make your SITECOM function correctly?
My X5/400 "workhorse" has been in operation since it's announcement; mainly used on trips (GPS) and Contacts and occasional AmbiCom Model WL54-CF (COM port 5 works just fine)
Would appreciate ANY helpful comments. Much thanks in advance.
