Each discovered device is identified in the Devices dialog by its 

Name

Type

Connection

,

Status

Availability,

 and whether 

AutoConnect

 is enabled. The 

Properties 

feature allows

you to give a connected InterWrite Device the Name shown in the Devices List Window
(the Model 400 Pad is given an additional 

Bluetooth Name

) and to program its 

SoftKeys

.

AutoConnect is a property unique to Bluetooth-enabled InterWrite Devices. When
AutoConnect is enabled, the computer will scan continuously for this and other active,
AutoConnect-enabled Bluetooth Devices and attempt to connect them. Scanning stops
once a Device is detected and connected. Therefore, if you are connecting multiple
Devices, make sure they are all powered on, so all of the Devices will be detected by the
scan. The 

Status 

 property will tell you whether the connection succeeded or failed. The

Availability

 option indicates that a discovered Device is available for connection.

As soon as the Devices dialog is displayed, Device Manager
begins trying to connect to the 

Remembered

 

Devices.

Once connected, your InterWrite Model 400 Pad is available as a system pointing device.
Your computer mouse can still be used as a pointing device.

If you want the Pad to AutoConnect when it is powered on, click on the

AutoConnect

 checkbox.

Select your new Pad in the Devices List Window and click on the 

Properties

 button.

Give the Pad a 

Name

. This Name is stored in the InterWrite software on this

computer and will identify the Pad on this computer.

8

Give the Pad a 

Bluetooth Name

. The Bluetooth Name is stored in the Pad’s firmware

and will identify this Pad on any installation of InterWrite.
