Blue Manager Suite is a Bluetooth communication application that helps you easily manage and
interact with your wireless personal area network (WPAN) and remote Bluetooth devices
including mobile phones, modems, and access points. Use Blue Manager to do the following:
• Find and connect to remote devices, and see the services they can provide
• Browse folders and files on remote devices, and exchange files with them
• Use wireless dial-up networking and serial-based functions
To get started, see these topics.

Blue Manager Suite Main Screen
Blue Manager’s main screen provides easy-to-use controls for the application.
Note: The controls throughout Blue Manager operate much as in other Windows applications. If
you aren’t familiar with Windows navigation controls, see Windows Help for details.
The screen’s menu bar includes the following:
• Application provides commands for opening your Bluetooth Inbox (see Object Push
Settings), configuring the application, and exiting.
• View commands control the application’s appearance, and let you discover Bluetooth
devices.
• Help commands open this online help, and provide product and support information.
The main screen also includes a toolbar with buttons providing the above and additional
functions. (If the toolbar is not visible, select the View menu and make sure Toolbar is checked.)
Hold the mouse over the buttons to see their functions in tooltips and in the status bar. Some
toolbar buttons will not appear until a device is selected.
• Bluetooth Inbox
Opens your Bluetooth Inbox folder. (Also available through the Application menu.)
• Configuration
Opens the Configuration
dialog, which enables you to control many of the application’s
functions. (Also available through the Application menu.)
• Device Discovery
Discovers Bluetooth devices within range. (Also available through the View menu.)
• Cancel Device Discovery
Cancels the attempt to discover devices.
• Select View
Selects how items are displayed (icons or list) in the main screen’s right-hand pane. (Also
available through the View menu.)
• Help

• Device Filter
Filters the set of devices to be displayed. There are three options:
o Show Only Discovered Devices
Shows only those devices found in the most recent discovery. No other devices
are displayed.
o Show My Devices
Shows recently discovered devices, all connected devices, and all paired devices.
o Show All Known Devices
Shows all devices ever discovered or connected.
• Name Discovery
Discovers the name of the selected device (in case this was not found when the device
was discovered).
• Service Discovery
Discovers and discovers the services available through the selected remote device. Also
displays the remote device name (if any).
• Cancel Service Discovery
Cancels the attempt to discover device services.
• Pair Device
Pairs the selected device.
• Disconnect
Ends the connection to the remote device.
• Device Properties
Displays the properties of a selected device.
• Delete Device
Deletes a device from the main screen. This also removes it from use by the local device.
(Note: deleting a device does not remove its paired status.)
Many of these functions are also available through a context menu by right-clicking items in the
main screen.
Configuring Blue Manager Suite
Use the Configuration dialog to customize the behavior of Blue Manager and the local device
(computer, PCA, or PDA) running it.
Click the Configuration button, or select Application > Configuration. The dialog includes
these settings windows:
• Blue Manager Settings
• Local Device
• Bluetooth Security
• Profile Manager
• Shared Folders
• Object Push
• Audio
• Basic Imaging
• Personal Area Networking
Blue Manager Settings
Use the Blue Manager Settings window to control how the application handles device
inquiries.
Bluetooth Device Discovery Options
• Bluetooth Device Inquiry On Startup: automatically searches for devices when the
application starts.
• Discover Bluetooth Device Names After Inquiry: finds and displays the names of
devices (if names were given) after performing an inquiry.
• Perform Bluetooth Device Inquiry Every n Minutes: periodically searches for new
devices.
Note: Selecting to discover names for all devices will make inquiries much slower.
Dialog and Message options
Use these to select certain messages and dialogs that appear throughout the application.
Local Device Settings
Use the Local Device settings window to control information seen by remote users about the
device running Blue Manager.
• Bluetooth Device Name: the name used to identify the local device to remote users.
Use a name that clearly identifies the local device.
Note: Changing the device name through Blue Manager changes only the name seen by
Bluetooth applications.
• Bluetooth Device Type: use the pull-down menu to select the type of the local device
as seen by remote users. This can help them determine if the device suits their needs.
• My Bluetooth Device Address: the unique character address of the local device, as
determined by Blue Manager. This cannot be edited.
Bluetooth Security Settings
Use the Bluetooth Security settings window to set the security level of Bluetooth connections.
• Require Bluetooth pairing for all links
When checked, Blue Manager will require pairing on all Bluetooth device connections.
• Encryption
When checked, the radio will be instructed to encrypt all communications. This option
is only available when "Require Bluetooth pairing for all links" is checked.
