First, it's a good idea to use WM 5.0 binaries:

Next, don't mind this status; it will connect as soon as it needs to send a
message.
If you've enabled binary protocol, it would also receive messages just fine.

If you're using System.Messaging to send message between PC and device, make
sure you're specifying format name with "FormatName:" prefix. For example:

messageQueue.Path = @"FormatName:DIRECT=OS:device_or_pc\private$\myQueue";

Best regards,
