Hi Joseph and others. I'm having trouble connecting my braillenote as a braille display.Do I really need to download this keyboard hooks thing? I have sellected the braille note as a device. I have sellected com 8 because my bluetooth software tells me that BN is trying to get sereal port A which is asigned to com 8. When I go in to jaws and sellect BrailleNote as the defalt braille device, it says it is the defalt, but that there is NO ACTIVE Braille display. How can I make the BN the active braille display?
Thanks! Rusty On 1/22/07, Joseph Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Chris and anyone interested, I'm sending this message again. A detailed message is located on the list archives. In order to use your BrailleNote as a wireless display, you'll need the following requirements: The PDI Hooks file; Active braille display should be BrailleNote; and correct com port number. Step 1: Downloading the PDI Hooks (KeyBoard Emulator file): 1. On your PC, go to HumanWare's website at www.humanware.com. 2. Go to Search and press enter. At the search edit field, enter Forms mode and type "JAWS PC Keyboard Emulator." 3. At the document that appears, press enter on KeySoft 7.0/7.2 page and press enter. Find the link called "JAWS PC Keyboard Emulator" and press enter. 4. When the file download dialog appears, press o to open the zip file. You have just downloaded the emulator files. Step 2: installing and running PDI Hooks: 1. After you've downloaded this file, you'll be placed in a folder structure. Press enter on the folder that appears. 2. After you've press enter, you'll see four files. Copy all files except the second zip file (make sure that you open the Windows Explorer again in order to do this correctly). Copy the files to the following location: C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\8.0 Paste the files onto this directory. 3. Now press Alt Tab to go back to the zip file. There should be one more zip file. Open this file. If the security dialog appears, press enter on Open. After opening this folder, there should be a single file. Copy this file to the location presented above. 4. Focus your cursor at the JAWS directory and at the PDIHooks executable. Shutdown JAWS with JAWS Key with Fbled. After JAWS has shut down, press enter on the PDI Hooks file. You should here a system beep letting you know that the KB emulator is running. Step 3: Configuring BrailleNote as a braille display 1. Restart JAWS 8.0 (Press Windows r, and type jaws8). 2. Go to JAWS program and select Options/Braille. If BrailleNote is listed, then you do not need to go further. If you did not, follow the next set of instructions: a. Go to Add Braille display button and press enter. b. At the components dialog, press b until you hear "BrailleNote." If it is not checked, press SPACE to check it. Press enter. c. At the com port list, select the com port which is assigned to the dongle (com5). Press enter. After a brief pause, JAWS should report that it is complete. Press enter on Finish button. d. At the braille dialog, press enter on OK. You are done. Step 4: Activating Bluetooth 1. On your BrailleNote, go to Options/Connectivity/Bluetooth. If Bluetooth is off, turn it on by say "Yes." 2. At the search for devices prompt, press y. After a brief paause, BrailleNote should say "List of Devices." Select your PC. 3. At the list of services, select ActiveSync. This will fool Windows that you are trying to connect using a known service. 4. At the pair and activate prompt, press y. At the authentication code prompt, pause it for second. 5. At this point, on your PC, press JAWS Key plus F11 to access System Tray. Focus your cursor on the icon that says, "Bluetooth on (name)" where name is your PC. 6. Back on your BrailleNote, type a string that you can remember and press enter. A notification balloon appears to type the same cone. On your PC, press enter at this point. 7. Press Alt Tab on your PC until you see authentication code or similar. Type the same code that you've typed on your BrailleNote and press enter. BrailleNote should say that it is paired and active. Step 5: Using your BrailleNote as a display 1. On your BrailleNote, go to Main/Terminal. At the terminal port, select Bluetooth. Do not press enter. 2. On your PC, press JAWS Key plus F11. Select Bluetooth but do not press enter yet. 3. On your BrailleNote, press enter. A notification balloon appears about connection request. 4. On your PC, press enter. Press Alt Tab until you see connection requesed dialog. Press TAB until you hear a prompt that says, "Allow this device to connect to this computer" or similar. Press SPACE to check this box, and TAB until you hear OK. Press enter. BrailleNote then says, "Braille Terminal." 5. Restart JAWS (JAWS Key plus Fbled, enter twice, Windows r, JAWS8). Brailleationnte should now display contents of the screen. Press SPACE with i to toggle between navigation and emulator mode. For more help with KeyBoard Emulator, at the emulator mode, press SPACE with H. When you press SPACE with i, you can toggle between navigation and emulator mode. A single beep will tell you that you are in the normal/navigation mode. A double beep will confirm that you on in the emulator mode.
