Sergey I'm not using mine for EQMOD ( I use mine with Gemini ASCOM) but have seen some issues.
I usually see 2 COM ports on the BT. One incoming port (the lappy called location zero) and out going port (the transceiver called location one).
In my case COM 5 is the incoming port and COM6 the outgoing. This is all to do with virtual COM ports that your BT stack software assigns. I have seen this in WINXP and WIN7.
My BT Places shows only one device, the outgoing COM6. However, I have seen this sometimes show the incoming port on occasions, especially if I scan for new devices.
Sometimes you can connect to your BT outgoing port in your "BT places"... it should ask for a passkey, "1234" (no quotes).
As Bob said on page 1 check this..
"I had some problems trying to get EQMOD recognised in the Ascom driver selector, the EQMOD.Telescope driver didn't have any attributes in the profile Explorer. Adding a name seemed to make it visible to the selector. I need to read some more about that as I may now have that right."
If you see the transceiver LED go from blinking to "on" for a few seconds then you are communicating with the transceiver ok but if it didn't stay "on" then it failed to pair.
Just some things to check:
ensure you have the Rx & Tx pins to the correct pins on the EQ6 DB9 connector.
Ensure you have a 5V TTL module not a 3.3V module.
Ensure the passkey is input.
Ensure you are trying to connect to the outgoing port.
See how this goes.
As a side issue..last night I couldn't connect to my Gemini BT. I deleted the devices in my BT places and re-scanned for new devices. Still didn't work....cut to the chase....after 15 mins...I turned on the Gemini computer...well that helped didn't it!
