Establishing a Connection
Connecting a PC with XP SP2 to a Board of Education
In this exercise we will step through the process of establishing a connection from a PC with
a Bluetooth USB adapter that is running Windows XP SP2 to an eb500 module in pass-
through mode.
To perform this exercise, as documented, you will need a PC running Windows XP SP2, a
Bluetooth USB adapter, a Parallax Board of Education, and an eb500 module. If you are
using any of the other supported Parallax boards, you may need to make adjustments to this
exercise.
On the PC, the Microsoft Bluetooth Software associates a COM port for establishing a
connection from the PC to a remote Bluetooth device and a separate COM port for
connections that are established from a remote Bluetooth device to the PC. This exercise
demonstrates establishing a connection from the PC to a remote eb500. The next exercise
will demonstrate establishing a connection from a remote eb500 to the PC.

1. Connect the Bluetooth USB Adapter to an available USB port on the PC.
1. Insert an eb500 module into the AppMod header of the Board of Education board;
2. Apply power to the Board of Education board.
In this step we will attach the Bluetooth USB Adapter to the PC. Windows XP SP2
should automatically detect and configure the adapter for use.
In this step we will attach an eb500 module to the Board of Education board and
