1 Introduction to BlueSoleil™
BlueSoleil is a 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.
Platforms supported by BlueSoleil include: Windows 2000 and XP.
1.1 Bluetooth Functions
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
Advanced Audio* √ √

Moreover, the version will switch to evaluation copy automatically that only
allows transmitting 5M Bytes data totally. (Figure 3.3)
Figure 3.3: Evaluation copy (5MB limit)
This activation is auto-executed on background without any user-operation
that will not take effect to any licensed device.
3.5 Search for Other Bluetooth Enabled Devices
Before it can connect, your computer must first detect other Bluetooth
enabled devices in range.
Initiate a Device Search
1. Make sure that the Bluetooth enabled device you wish to connect to is
turned on, with sufficient battery power, and set in discoverable mode.
Have any necessary passkeys ready. If necessary, you may also need to
enable the service you want to use on the remote device. Refer to the
remote device’s user documentation for instructions.
If you haven’t done so already, you may also want to assign the device a
Bluetooth name. Refer to the device’s user documentation for instructions.
2. In the Main Window, click on the red ball to start the device search.
Alternatively, you can click My Bluetooth | My Device Inquiry or View |
Refresh Devices or press F5.
10
3. After a few seconds, an icon will appear around the center ball for each
Bluetooth enabled device detected within the radio range.
Note:
• The Main Window can display only eight discovered devices at a time .
If BlueSoleil discovered more than eight devices, use the scroll bar to
view the remaining devices discovered by BlueSoleil.
• You could delete a device in the orbit via right clicking the icon of the
device and selecting “Delete”.
• To sort the devices by device name, device address, or device type,
click View | Arrange Devices.
4. Wait several seconds until BlueSoleil reports the name of each device.
Note: The remote device name can also be obtained by right clicking the
icon of the device and selecting “Get device name”.
5. If the device you want is not listed, make sure that the device is turned on
and discoverable and try searching again. You have multiple options for
starting another search:
• If you start another search by doubl e-clicking on the red ball or clicking
My Bluetooth | My Device Inquiry or View | Refresh Device s, then the
list of previously detected devices will not be cleared.
• If you start another search by pressing F5, then the list of previously
detected devices will be cleared.
3.6 Establish Connection
Note: These are generic instructions for any type of Bluetooth enabled device.
Refer to the instructions in Chapter 3 for specific details for the type of service
you plan to use.
Normally, a connection is initiated from the client. Check the chart in Chapter
1 to verify which device role BlueSoleil supports for the service you wish to
use.
• On the server side, start the service
• On the client side, initiate the connection
Start the Service
If you would like to use your computer as a server in a Bluetooth connection,
you must first start (enable) the appropriate service(s) on your system.
1. Access the Service Window. Click View | Service Window.
11
2. If the icon for a service is highlighted (yellow), then the service has already
been started. If the icon is white, then you need to start the service in
order to use it. Right-click the icon. In the pop-up menu, select Start
Service. The icon should now be highlighted (yellow). Serial Port icons will
also report which COM port is assigned to them.
Note:
• Icons will appear only for Bluetooth functions (Profiles) which

Bluetooth Functions.
• Depending on your system, multiple icons for Serial COM ports may
appear.
3. After you have started the service in BlueSoleil, now you are ready to
initiate the connection from the remote device. For instructions, refer to
the user documentation for the remote device.
Initiate the Connection
If you would like to use your computer as a client in a Bluetooth connection,
make sure that you have started (enabled) the service on the remote device.
Otherwise, BlueSoleil will not be able to discover the service and connect to it.
For instructions, refer to the device’s user documentation.
1. Return to the Main Window. Click View | Main Window.
2. Double-click on the icon for the device you wish to connect to. BlueSoleil
will begin to search for information about which services the device
supports.
3. After the search, icons will be highlighted (yellow) at the top of the
BlueSoleil Main Window for services that are supported by the device.
Verify that the service you want to use is supported.
4. Right-click on the device icon. In the pop-up menu, click Connect, then
select the service. BlueSoleil will start the connection. Depending on the
security settings of each device, you may need to enter the same passkey
on each device in order to bond the two devices.
5. A screen may appear asking if you want to set up automatic connections.
Click Yes or No.
6. If you are connecting to a phone, your phone may ask if you want to ask
the BlueSoleil computer to your device list. Enter Yes and enter a passkey.
7. When the devices have successfully connected, the device icon in the Main
Window will turn green, and a green line will appear between the red ball
and the device icon. A red dot will travel along the green line from the
12
client to the server. A signal strength icon will also appear next to the
device icon.
The BlueSoleil icon in the task tray will also turn green to indicate an
active connection.
Note: A red check mark will appear next to the name of any device that
you have previously paired with your computer.
8. Depending on which services you are using, additional screens may appear,
and/or you may need to configure additional connection settings (e.g.,
user name, password, COM port number, etc.). Refer to the instructions in
Chapter 3 for your specific service. After configuring the appropriate
connection settings, you should be ready to use your application.
9. To end a connection, in the Main Window, right-click on the icon for a
connected device. In the pop-up menu, click Disconnect.
Note: You can only disconnect this way if your computer is acting as a client
device. If your computer is acting as a server device, then you can disconnect
in BlueSoleil by clicking View | Service Window, then right-clicking on the
service icon. In the pop-up menu, click Stop Service. Alternatively, you can
disconnect from the remote device.
3.7 Bluetooth Security
To modify your connection’s security settings, click My Bluetooth | Security.
BlueSoleil offers three security levels:
• Low (Security Mode 1, Non-secure)
No security procedure is needed for connections.
• 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 device.
• High (Security Mode 3, Link level enforced security)
If either of two devices is in Mode 3, Authentication is requested
whenever a link connection is initiated between two Bluetooth enabled
devices. The passkey must be provided on both sides to complete
Authentication.
Note: In Security Mode 2, the user can add each authenticated device into a
trusted device list to expedite future connections.
