Re: Switching master/slave roles

We have a button on our bluetooth tablets that is designed so that the user can press it and it will try to (re)connect to the computer that it was most recently connected to. Once the tablet opens a RFCOMM channel to the computer, we want the two to switch roles, and have the computer be the master and the tablet be a slave (potentially one of several slaves). Can I do this without having to manually close the channel and initiate a new connection from the computer to the tablet. ...Eric... PS: I see that this question was asked a couple of months ago, but I don't see that there was ever an answer posted. There is no public API to do what you want currently. However the host stack will automatically attempt to switch roles (to become master) on any new incoming connection. Will that solve your problem, or is there another issue? - Eric _______________________________________________ bluetooth-dev mailing list | bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.
