About BlueSoleil

BlueSoleil is Windows-based software from IVT that allows your Bluetooth® enabled desktop or notebook computer to wirelessly connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices. BlueSoleil allows MS Windows users to wirelessly access a wide variety of Bluetooth enabled digital devices, such as cameras, mobile phones, headsets, printers, and GPS receivers. You can also form networks and exchange data with other Bluetooth enabled computers or PDAs.

In order to connect and share services via Bluetooth wireless technology, two devices must support the same Bluetooth Profile(s) as well as opposite device roles (i.e., one must be the server, and the other must be the client). Bluetooth enabled devices often support multiple profiles, and if involved in multiple connections, can perform different device roles simultaneously. BlueSoleil supports the following Bluetooth functions (Profiles) in the following device roles:

Bluetooth Functions (Profiles) Client Server

AV Headphone* V V Basic Image Profile V V Dial-Up Networking V Fax V File Transfer V V Headset* V V Human Interface Device V LAN access V V Object Push V V Personal Area Networking V V Printer V Serial Port V V Synchronization V V

Notes:

• Only one Headset or AV Headphone connection can exist at a time, since

there is only one virtual Bluetooth audio device.

• The Headset and AV Headphone Profiles do not work on Windows 98SE or Windows Me.

Platforms supported by BlueSoleil include:

• Windows 98SE/ME

• Windows 2000/XP

• Medium (Security Mode 2, Service level enforced security)

Authentication or Authorization is requested when a specific service is accessed by other Bluetooth enabled devices. If two devices are connecting for the first time, or if two devices do not have a trusted relationship, then the same passkey must be provided on both sides to complete the Authentication. This mode allows you to assign different access rights for each service supported by the server.

Security

• High (Security Mode 3, Link level enforced security)

If either of two devices is in Security Mode 3, Authentication is requested whenever a connection is initiated between two Bluetooth enabled devices. The passkey must be provided on both sides to complete Authentication.
