To send data:
Note A modem driver must be installed on the virtual COM port in order to use an
external application to send data through Merlin’s Wand. See “Install a Modem
Driver on the Virtual COM Port” on page 40 to find out how to install the driver.
Once the driver is installed, you must configure the external application to use that
driver.
Note An external dial-up communications application (such as Windows Dial-Up
Networking) must be installed on the host computer in order to perform this
operation.
Open the application and send the data. It will use the modem driver on
the virtual COM port to send the data to the Dial-Up Gateway device
through Merlin’s Wand.
Enable or disable event logging:
You can configure Merlin’s Wand to write incoming or outgoing data to
the Event Log by checking or unchecking the “Log Incoming Data” and
“Log Outgoing Data” options.
Connect to Device: Fax Gateway
The Fax Gateway option allows you to use a fax application to send to data
to Merlin’s Wand via a virtual COM port. Merlin’s Wand then uses
Bluetooth to send the data to a device that uses the Fax Gateway profile to
send data over a fax modem.
Before attempting this, you must install the virtual COM port driver that is
included with the Merlin’s Wand installation. For instructions, see
“Installing the Virtual COM Port Driver” on page 39.
Step 1 Complete steps 1-6 in Section 3.2, “Connecting to Devices”
on page 17.
Step 2
Select Fax Gateway from the list on the Select Profile screen.
(Optional) Select the Allow Role Switch option on the screen to enable
Merlin’s Wand to switch roles during the connection.
Step 3 Click Next.
Merlin’s Wand will establish a connection to the specified device.
Step 4
You can now send individual commands to the Fax Gateway
device or use an external fax application to send data over the
virtual COM port.
To send individual commands:
Enter a command in the combo box and press the Send Cmd button.
Each command that you enter during the current session will be added to
the drop-down list in the combo box.
