Pair Hololens with what
Hello,
I have played with Hololens for the last few days and have quite a few questions. First of all, what does Hololens pair with as described in https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/using_visual_studio#Pairing_your_device? with a computer or the VS 2015 running on a computer?
Then two further questions are
(1) If I clear all pairing in the hololens setting, then want to re-pair with the same computer, how can I bring up the pair windows asking for pin?
(2) If I want to deploy my holographic app from my computer to multiple hololens (one by one), how can I pair my computer (or VS 2015 on my computer) with a new hololens?
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
Best,
Weiguang

Hi Guanw,
1) To repair with your device, you'll need to close Visual Studio and restart Visual Studio. The pairing UI will appear again in VS when you try to build.
2) You can be paired to multiple devices. You just need to follow the process for each device. Once paired you shouldn't need to repair.

I've tried 1) --- the pairing UI doesn't show up. It seems to me that VS remembers the old PIN and doesn't realized it's been unpaired from the device.
I use VS 2015 and tutorial 101.

I just tried twice myself, and I got the pairing UI in VS. Maybe you need to reboot your development PC?

OK, I've figured it out --- I created a new project (from Unity) and it triggered the pair UI to show up when build-n-deploy it.
Now I have a new question: What if the IP of my hololens changes?
Weiguang
If the IP address of your HoloLens changes you'll need to update the debug target in Visual Studio. This will not impact pairing.

Thanks, Patrick. It works.
