Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Bluetooth access point with broadband router. This Bluetooth access point with broadband router provides the ideal solution for connecting your wireless network to a high-speed broadband Internet connection or a 10/100 Fast Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a DHCP server for your existing network, the access point with broadband router acts as the only externally recognized Internet gateway on your local area network (LAN) and serves as an Internet NAT firewall to unwanted outside intruders.

This cutting-edge Bluetooth access point with broadband router eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or switch and extends the range of your wireless network. Now your entire wireless network can enjoy blazing broadband internet connections supported by a robust switched backbone. With the dual-function speed and power of the Bluetooth access point with broadband router, your network will take off at speeds faster than you ever imagined.

Configuring the PC

1. Overview

These instructions will help you configure each of your computers to communicate with the Bluetooth PAN Router. To do this, you will need to configure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP (or TCP/IP) address automatically. Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other across a network or the Internet. You will need to know which operating system your computer is running, such as Windows 98, 2000, or XP. You can find out by clicking the Start button and then selecting the Settings option (If your Start menu does not have a Settings option, you’re running Windows XP. You can select the Control Panel directly from the Start Menu). Then, click Control Panel and double-click the System icon. Click the Cancel button when done. Once you know which Windows operating system you are running, follow the directions below for your computer’s operating system. If your PC is not configured with the TCP/IP protocol, you will need to do this for each computer you are connecting to the Router.

The only Bluetooth PAN profile in PC side provided is from IVT Inc. and Widcomm, so you need to follow the instructions of IVT BlueSoleil or BTW and BTWCE product to setup the BT Network Adapter for later configuration.

The next few pages will tell you, step by step, how to configure your TCP/IP settings based on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Once you've configured your computers, continue to “Chapter 6: Configuring The Router.”

2. Configuring Windows 95, 98, and Millennium PCs

1. Click the Start button, click Settings and open the Control Panel. From there, find the BT Network Adapter connection and double-click the icon to open the Network screen.

2. Select the Configuration tab and highlight the TCP/IP line for the applicable Ethernet adapter. If the word TCP/IP appears by itself, select that line. (Note: If there is no TCP/IP line listed, refer to your Ethernet adapter’s documentation to install TCP/IP.) Then click the Properties button.

3. Click the IP Address tab and select Obtain an IP address automatically.

4. Click the tab and verify that the Installed Gateway field is blank. Click the OK button.

5. Click the OK button again. Windows may ask you for the original Windows installation disk or additional files. Supply them by pointing to the correct file location, e.g., D:\Win98 (This assumes that “D” is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).

6. If Windows asks you to restart your PC, click the Yes button. If Windows does not ask you to restart, restart your computer anyway.

Repeat steps 1 - 5 for each PC on your network.

3. Configuring Windows 2000 PCs

1. Click the Start button, click Settings and open the Control Panel. From there, double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections icon. This will display the Network screen.

2. Select the Local Area Connection icon for the applicable Bluetooth Network adapter (usually it is the second Local Area Connection listed instead of the default adapter after you installed the BT driver). Double-click Local Area Connection and click the Properties button.

3. When the Local Area Connection Status screen appears, click the Properties button.

4. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.

5. Select Obtain an IP address automatically and verify that Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected. Then, click the OK button and click the OK button on the subsequent screens to complete the PC’s configuration.

Repeat steps 1-5 for each PC on your network.

4. Configuring Windows XP PCs

The following instructions assume you are running Windows XP’s default interface. If you are using the Classic interface (where the icons and menus look like previous Windows versions), please follow the instructions for Windows 2000.

1. Click the Start button, open the Control Panel. Click the Network and Internet Connections icon. Then click the Network Connections icon to display the Network screen.

3. When the Local Area Connection Status screen appears, click the Properties button.

4. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.

5. Select Obtain an IP address automatically and verify that Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected. Then, click the OK button and click the OK button

on the subsequent screens to complete the PC’s configuration.

Repeat steps 1 - 5 for each PC on your network.

5. Configure Widcomm BTW

The Bluetooth Software makes it easy to join an existing personal network, hosted by another Bluetooth device (PocketPC, desktop, etc.). From the My Bluetooth Places, choose Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, and select the Bluetooth device that you want to establish a PAN connection and double click the device icon.

It will list out all the available services of this device. Select the NAP Service.

Right click the NAP Service and select "Connect to Network Access Point" and your PC will get an IP address from the Network Access Point.

At this moment, you might be prompted to enter the IP network settings. If this is the case, choose "Obtain an IP address automatically" from your Bluetooth Network TCP/IP setting.

After the host is selected, a connection will then be established between your PC and the host over the personal network.
