Yes, as it turns out, there is. It has to be done from the PC, though. I could
write a BrlAPI application for you which does it if you'd like.

There actually is a problem. Until you can see the device you can't probe it to
figure out what kind of device it is. Until you know the PIN you can't see the
device.
