Software Specification
of Acer Bluetooth
Shuttle
Acer Bluetooth Shuttle is a
high-performance, versatile stack driver
solution for the PC that helps end-users
seamlessly transition from a “ connected
experience” to a “wireless experience”. It
enables the Bluetooth wireless
technology for the notebook or desktop
PC.
With Acer Bluetooth Shuttle, you can
establish wireless links by your
computer or notebook with other devices
of Bluetooth ability. What you can do
are:
§ Connect to serial device with
legacy applications
§ Connect to local area networks
§ Access the Internet with dial up
networking
§ Send and receive fax messages
with legacy applications
§ Transfer files and objects
These above operations are deeply
involved with a MicrosoftTM Explorer
plug-in application called BluetoothTM
Plug-in. Its fundamental and essential
functions are:
§ Discover neighboring Bluetooth
devices (search for remote
Bluetooth devices in the RF
range of your computer).
§ Discover and browse services of
discovered Bluetooth devices.
§ Help to establish links to
discovered Bluetooth devices.
The appearance of Bluetooth Plug-in
looks like a folder on your Windows
98(or 2000) Desktop. All remote devices
will be there if your Bluetooth PC card
found. It functions like Network
Neighborhood in Windows.
BluetoothTM Plug-In
With another auxiliary tool BluetoothTM
Device Configuration, you can
customize some setting for your
Bluetooth PC card, monitor current
status of your Bluetooth system, and
manage authentication related setting.

System Overview
The Acer Bluetooth Shuttle software
consists of a software stack and some
application.
The core protocol stack is implemented
as a subset of version 1.1 of the
Bluetooth specification. At the bottom
Service Discovery Application
of the software stack resides the
hardware driver. It transfers HCI
commands or events between PC and
PC card. Also, it passes HCI data to
L2CAP layer. The main task of L2CAP
is to multiplex the data of SDP and
RFCOMM. The inclusion of SDP
makes it possible to perform service
discovery on the Blutetooth devices in
RF proximity. RFCOMM protocol
provides emulation of RS-232 serial
ports, it acting on behalf of legacy
applications not directly aware of
Bluetooth.
