I am trying to connect my eb500 to my USB bluetooth adapter as a
serial port and it says it needs a PIN for "paring" for security.
Anyone know where I can get this pin?

Thanks

Mike

    Hello Mike,

    The eb500 doesn't use the Bluetooth pin security feature. There is no pin
    for the eb500. You have to go to the Bluetooth Properties screen, and there
    will be a tab that says "General", and on that screen there is a checkbox
    that says "Secure Connection". That checkbox gets checked by default when
    you create a new connection. So you have click on that checkbox and remove
    the option "Secure Connection"

    use '0000' as that's what the eb500 uses. it's hardcoded
    into the device.
