COM port of the Dongle as if they were physically connected.
In other words, you may now send all command / data to the

“Connect” for next Dongle if it exists.
d. Automatic re-connection at power on
1. One of the advantages with Posiflex wireless connection is
that it mimics a real physical cable connection very faithfully.
Whenever you connected a POS printer to a COM port in the
host system, you would expect the connection remains there

application on fixed port (Dongle)-printer-pair relationship
with multiple Dongles and multiple printers in the overall
space but enjoying the convenience of no messy cables. This
is default supported in Posiflex wireless connection.
2. If for any reason this automatic reconnection at power up is
disabled, you may re-activate this function by including a
program shortcut in the system “StartUp” menu. Please
include the software parameter select “BTSetUp.exe /X /C”
in the shortcut.
