Hi Mike,

thanks a lot for the fast response and clarifications about the potential connection limits. I don't think that they are hit in my case, though. And I definitely contemplate your warnings about the unsafe BT connections for large data amounts. I'd just like to use the BT connection for the library synchronization after uploading, say, one or two pieces to the master tablet. (So far I managed this by creating a complete backup of the master, transferred that to the desktop comp, reconnected that wifi-wise to the servant tablet, and restored the complete library there. What deems me like an overkill for the small amount of data that really *needs* to be transferred.)

Nevertheless I'd like to lighten up my understanding of the processes involved. I don't want to die dumb. 

My BT setup: Master tablet named PNT-01, servant tablet named PNT-02 (additionally a Donner BT foot switch, let's call it BMP.)

Opening the BT settings on both tablets it says on the Master: BMP and PNT-02 coupled. On the servant: PNT-01 coupled. So far, so good, I'd say.

Additionally there is an "available" device named "TG" which I do not remember to have set up or any pointer as to what that may be. I don't expect any further BT device in the nearer vicinity. This device is not shown at later  times.


My usual procedure using MSP:

# open MSP on master, and as soon as fingers allow, open MSP on servant.

# master asks me to show connection for 120 s -> confirmed -> tablets connect to each other, confirmed by the fact that the book mode works when selecting any multipage piece. Foot switch operative.


Now to the malfunctioning library synchronization (I translate the German dialogs to their presumable English pendants; sorry if this is not correct to the last letter ;-))

# Choosing "synchronize library" on both tablets, choosing a syc type: "Sync to a device"

# On master: "connect as server", on servant: "connect as client"  (I only want the one-way sync!)

# On master: Choosing "create server" -> busy sign begins to rotate. (In some trials the question to publish the BT connection for 120 s shows up. If so, I agree to that.)

# on servant: Choosing "connect", with searching switched to on -> PNT-01 appears in connected devices list with green colour. Additionally there is sometimes another device called TG I still cannot interpret. Going into the device's BT setup screen this is not shown. Only the connection to the PNT-01 is given there.

# activating "connect" -> "connection to PNT-01 cannot be established"

There are no other connections (apart from wifi connections of each tablet to the house network) I am aware of.

I am quite convinced that the error lies between my headphones , but I'd love to get a pointer to where to search for it!

Kind regards,
Petra
