500 SP with iPad P2P connection for scoreboard at DVinfo.net

As you can see from an earlier post of mine, I have a 250SP that I use with an iPad using P2P to transfer scoreboard data from the iPad to the camera (it took a while to figure it out, but it works fine now).

I now have a 500SP, and absolutely can not get it to connect with the iPad. The manual doesn't have an entry for using it with an iPad, but when trying to follow the setup as done with the 250, the iPad asks for a password--but no password works--it will not pair up with the camera.

The manual for the 250 gives the user name and password to use. The 500 manual does not. When going through the settings on the camera, it does give a 'passphrase', but that does not work. In the 'Status' displays, it also has a user name and password, but those don't work, either.

So, does anyone know if this is even doable on the 500?
