I see you are selling Airconsole 1 to 2 Upgrade Kits. In the description it reads like it's a usb hub with the serial cable and a bluetooth dongle attached.
Can I test out the functionality using a USB hub and a Bluetooth dongle I already have?
Would using a hub allow me to use a USB to USB cable to console into a cisco device over bluetooth?

I have an AirConsole A-01. I've upgraded to firmware 2.5.

Thanks

I had a go last night and it didn't work.
[edit:] IT must have been the wrong type of bluetooth adapter. I've got it working with a different one. See below.[/edit]

Internally this is how the cable works - it has a USB hub inside to which a Bluetooth dongle is attached.

The software on the Airconsole is designed to work specifically with the dongle we ship - a dual-mode Bluetooth dongle. It will potentially work with other Bluetooth dual-mode dongles, but we don't specifically support this. From the sounds of things, it may not support the particular dongle you are using.

The other piece of getting it to work is using a compatible client - for iOS you will need Get-Console 2.01 or later, and for Android, serialbot 1.7.4 or later

Good news, I have had success with another bluetooth dongle.

I got a dual-mode Bluetooth 4 dongle with a CSR8510 chip off eBay. Plugged that into a USB hub along with my usb console cable. Then plugged the whole lot into the airconsole. Now I can use bluetooth on my iPad instead of wifi.
