INTRODUCTION

The Bluetooth® wireless technology provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable conne c tions that traditionally link electronic devices.

• Network access points

• Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA, etc.)

• Imaging devices (printer, camera)

• Audio de v ic es (hea ds et, spe akers)

Bluetooth wireless technology also enables communi cation between the above devices and Bluetoothenabled phones (example: cellular, cordless, smart phones).

The Bluetooth for Windows software consists of the following components:

• Microsoft vicinity using Windows Explorer.

• My Bluetooth Places - graphical user interface (GUI) that provides access to Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity. Also provides access to configure the local devices and access to perform other Bluetooth tasks.

• BTTra y Secu rity Ma nag er - co ntrols and manages Bluetooth security levels. Enables user to g ra nt or d eny access and to filter what can be accessed on a Bluetooth device.

• Bluetooth for Windows Configuration Panel - configures Bluetooth for Windows (BTW) software using Windows Control Panel.

• Stack Server - provides an interface for the operating system to control Bluetooth devices and to ensure that Bluetooth connections operate t ogether cor rectly. The stack server has a built-in Secur ity Mana ger that protects the Bluetooth device from unauthorized access.

• Bluetooth Setup wizard - facilitates the configuration and modification of Bluetooth environment. The wizard can be used to configure or change local ser vices or to establish connections t o remote devices based on service type or device type.

• Quick Connect - facilitates fast connections based on service type. Enables user to quickly find devices that support a particular service and establish a conn ection to that service. During thi s process , a sho rtcut to the service is created in My Bluetooth Places, which can be used for subsequent connections.

Windows® Explorer Extensions - provides access to Bluetooth devices in the immediate

Service Icons

Services are what a Bluetooth device can do for other Bluetooth devices, such as provide access to a local area network, or the ability to send a fax.

Some devices, such as headsets or network access points, may provide only a single service. Others, such as desktop and laptop computers, can potentially provide all of the Bluetooth services.

Single-service devices often use virtually the same icon for the service as that used for the device. For example, the headset service icon is identical to the headset device icon.

Multiservice devices use a different icon for each service that they provide.

Service icons have three states:

• Normal - this type of unadorned icon indicates that a specific service is potentially available from the selected device. For example, the icon to the right indicates that the Bluetooth serial port service may be available.

• Connected - this type of icon indicates that t his computer is c onnected to this service. The icon has a green tint and/or a small butting arrows box added to it ( ). For example, the icon to the right indicates that this computer is connected to the Bluetooth serial port service of the remote device.

• Not Available - this type icon indicates that the service that it represents is not available. Services that are not available are represented by a normal icon with a small X box added to it ( ). For example, the icon to the right indicates that the Bluetooth serial port service is not currently available.

Note: A service may be unavail abl e bec au se it (or the required hardware) is in use, or becau se the required hardware is not installed. Example: if the fax modem is busy, or not installed, then the fax service will be unavailable, even though Bluetooth supports that service.

There are some differences between the service icons used by Windows 9x, ME, and 2000, and those used by Windows XP. For the service icons used by your system, see Table 4 or Table 5.

CREATE A CONNECTION FROM ENTIRE BLUETOOTH NEIGHBORHOOD

1. From Windows Explorer, in the Folders pane, select My Bluetooth Places, and t hen select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood.

2. In the right pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-cli ck a device name, and then select Discover Available Services.

If a prior service disc overy wa s p erforme d on the s elec ted dev ice, the s ervice s that we re found will be list ed in the device’s shortcut menu.

If the selected device has added or reconfigured a service, or if the desired service is not an option in the shortcut menu, sele ct the Discover Availa ble Services opti on to update the list of services offere d by the device.

FIND BLUETOOTH DEVICES

Search for Devices lo oks for Bluetoot h devices in the v icinity and display s the devices tha t it finds in My Bluetooth Places.

To start a search for devices, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, and then, from the Bluetooth menu, select Search for Devices.

Note: The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active.

Periodic Search for Devices

Bluetooth can be configured to search automatically for devices on a regular basis (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab).

One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that the wireless connectio ns allow. However, mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during the time between the automatic updates performed by Bluetooth. To be certain that the displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry is not enabled, force an update of the device list using the technique described in Search for Devices, above.

Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devices found because:

• The devic e is co nfig ure d to re po rt only spe cif ic typ es o r cl as se s of devices (Bluetooth Co nfi guration Pane l > Discovery tab, on your device).

• The unlisted device is configured to be nondiscoverable. Refer to the unlisted device’s documentation for assistance in making that device discoverable.

Note: If you enable the periodic search for devices feature you may experience some performance degradation while the search is in process, depending on the type of system you have.

Find A Service

The process of determining the services that a device provides is called Service Discovery.

To initiate a Service Discovery, in My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device name and then, from the shortcut menu, select Discover Available Services .

Bluetooth services are those things that this computer can do for remote Bluetooth devices. For example, if this computer allows a rem ote B luetoot h device to send a fax using a fax mod em that is physic ally at tached to this computer, then this computer is providing the Bluetooth fax service.

Some services are hardware dependant; for example, this computer cannot provide the fax service unless it has a physical fax modem.

Some Bluetooth servi ces use vi rtual ha rdware. The Bluetoot h Serial Po rt servic e, for ex ample , does no t use a physical port on this computer. Instead, it creates virtual serial ports that Windows applications can see and use as if they were actual physical ports.

Each Bluetooth servic e that this com puter is cap able of provi ding can be started autom aticall y when Bluetoo th starts. Each service can be set up to require security measures before allowing a remote Bluetooth device to connect.

Bluetooth services require a Bluetooth application on the remote device; services and applications usually have coinciding names; i.e., there is a Bluetooth Fax Service and a Bluetooth Fax Application.

The services supported by Bluetooth are:

• Bluetooth Imaging - allows a remote device to send and receive images (BMP, GIF, PNG, & JPG) to this computer. Images are stored in the Bluetooth exchange folder.

• Bluetooth Serial Port - allows a wi rele ss c on nec ti on be tw e en two devices . This connection can b e used by applications as though a physical serial cable connected the devices.

• Dial-up Networking - allows a device to use a modem that is physically attached to another Bluetooth device.

• Fax - allows a device to send a fax using a remote Bluetooth cell phone, modem, or computer.

• File Transfer - allows a device to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth device: browse,

open, copy, etc.

• Headset - allows a Bluetooth headset to be used as the audio input/output mechanism for another Bluetooth device, such as a computer or cell phone.

• PIM Item Transfer - allows two Bl uetooth de vices to e xc hange Personal Inf ormation Manager dat a su ch as business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.

• PIM Synchronization - allows two Bluetooth devices to synchronize their Personal Information Manager data.

• Network Access - allows a device to access a Local Area Network via a second Bluetooth device that is physically connected to the ne twork or allows a remot e device to becom e par t of an ad h oc network provided by the Bluetooth server.

• Audio Gateway - allows the microphone/speakers on a Bluetooth device (typically a computer) to be used as the audio input/output mechanism for a remote Bluetooth device, such as a cell phone.

All Bluetooth servers do n ot necessarily prov ide all of these se rvices. For example , network gateways m ay only provide the Network Acces s service.

Overview

The Human Interface Device (HID) Application allows this computer to wirelessly use one or more remote Bluetooth HIDs as input/output devices.

For example, the HID Application allows this computer to use a Bluetooth keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse.

Create a HID Connection

Note: Some HIDs have multiple modes. Before establishing a connection, be sure the HID is in the appropriate mode. For example, in the case of a HID that can function as both a mouse and a laser pointer, be sure the mode switch is set to Mouse before attempting to connect.

Open a connection to a Bluetooth Human Interface Device using one of these techniques:

• From My Bluetooth Places

• Using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard

• Once a HID connection is established, that connect ion will pers is t. If the computer is shut down, when the

computer is turned on again the connection will reestablish automatically.

Note: HIDs usually have a button, which is sometimes difficult to find, that must be pressed before other Bluetooth devices can locate the HID. Even after the button is pressed, the HID can be discovered only for a limited time, and then the button must be pressed again. The time period can be as short as 30 seconds or as long as 180 seconds. Read the documentation that accompanies the HID before you attempt to connect to the device.

Close a HID Connection

Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to close a HID connection; once established the connection is maintained automatically, even during the power off and power on processes.

BLUETOOTH SERVICES

Common Configuration Settings

These properties can be set individually for each Bluetooth service:

• Service Name - the default name of each service can be changed.

• Secure Connection - requires that remote devices provide proof of identity and that all data be encrypted.

• Startup Automatically - starts the service automatically when Bluetooth is started.

• Notifications - provides visual and/or audio notification that a remote device is attempting to connect (or

has connected) to a service on this computer.

Notifications

There are three types of notification:

• Authentication request, also called a PIN code request - this notification is displayed automatically in a balloon ov er th e Notifi cation area, at the far right of the taskbar if a Personal Identifi cation Code is req uired before a connection can proceed. An audio file can also be associated with the notification.

• Authorization request, also called a connection request - this type of notification can be visual, audio, or both. It notifies you of attempt s to access a Blu etooth ser vice on t his computer ; the connection w ill not proceed until you click the ballo on that is displayed over the Notificatio n area, at the far right of the taskbar. If the notification balloon is ignored, the connection request will time out and fail.

• Notification only - this type of notification does not affect access in any way; it is solely for information purposes to let you know that a connection has been established.

Example: Both Authentication and Authorization request notifications are controlled by whether Secure Connection is enabl ed for an indivi dual service. An ex ample of how noti fications mi ght work when a re mote device attempts to access a service on this computer, if all notifications are enabled:

• Authentication - a balloon notification (audio optional) prompts you for a PIN code. If the PIN code

does not match the code entered on the remote device, the connection will not be allowed. After the remote device has been authenticated this notification will not appear again, unless the paired relationship is broken. If the paired relationship is broken, the devices must re-pair.

• Authorization - a balloon notification is displayed and/or a sound file provides audio notification that a

remote device is attempting to access a Bluetooth service on this computer. Click the balloon to proceed. A dialog box prompts you to enable the connection only once, or to allow this device to use the service every time.

• After a connection has been authorized, an additional visual and/or audio notification may be

displayed (if enabled). This notification is for information only to inform the operator that a connection has been establis he d.

Note: After two devices are paired, the authentication notification will no longer be displayed when a connection is attemp ted. If Always allow… i s enabled during the auth orization process, th e authorization no tifica tion w ill not be dis playe d on f uture c onnec tion attemp ts. Connec tion notific ation only happens if it has been enabl ed on the No tificatio ns tab of t he individ ual servi ce being ac cessed.

Service Access Notification

Notifications lets you associate a sound (Windows *.wav file) and/or a visual indication with access attempts by remote devices.

A different notification sound can be associated with each local Bluetooth service.

SECURITY

AUTHENTICATION

Authentication is used to verify identity; it re quires a passkey or link key from the remote device. When a remote device attempts access, a visual and/or audio warning notifies the local operator.

If the notification is ignored, access is denied after a preset timeout.

When devices are paired, those devices automatically exchange a link key and Authentication is carried out without operator intervention.

AUTHORIZATION

Authorization is Yes -or-N o sec urity t hat requires operator inte rve ntio n to avoid having the c onn ec tion time out and fail. Authoriza tion is enab led autom atically when Secu re Conne ction is ena bled, but it can be turned off o n a service-by-service basis for each remote device.

Authorization is limited to:

• Yes, you may connect (click the balloon to proceed).

• No, you may not connect (ignore the balloon prompt and the connection will fail).

When the connecti on is Authorized , a window is displayed w ith three Allow a ccess options . This is only for FTP service.

Each Bluetooth device also has a configurable, user-friendly name to help distinguish it from other devices. The user-friendl y name may be up to 99 alphanu meric characters in le ngth and may contain space s. My Personal Computer is a valid user-friendly name.

ENCRYPTION

Encrypting data translates it into an unreadable format using a secret key or password. Decrypting the data requires the same key or password that was used to encrypt it.

LINK KEY

A link key is a unique, internally generated access code based on a passkey, the Bluetooth Device Address, and an internally ge nera ted rand om n um ber. Link keys are generated au tom ati ca lly when dev ic es are pa ired.

After a link key is generated, manual entry of the passkey is not required.

PAIRING DEVICES

Pairing allows you to avo id manuall y enteri ng acce ss info rmatio n each tim e a conne ction is attemp ted . Paired devices share a unique link key, which they automatically exchange each time they connect.

Paired devices attempt to determine the feasibility of an operation before actually executing that operation.

In the following example of a feasibility check, Authorization, which requires the receiving device to approve the connection (even though the devices are paired), is enabled.

1. A file is selected and sent to a paired remote service.

2. Before actually sending the file, the sending device transparently queries the server.

3. The server transparently replies that it has a file of that name in the folder to which the sender is attempting to write.

4. The sending de vice dis pla ys a Confi rm File Replac e windo w , w hich the u ser mus t ack nowled ge bef ore th e connection can proceed.

INTERNET CONNECTION SHARING DOES NOT WORK

This occurs because Internet Conn ection Sharing was enabled when Blueto oth was installed (this is a Microsoft Windows behavior and is considered proper operation).

To enable Internet Connection Sharing:

• Disable Sharing for the Ethernet adapter

• Select Control Panel > Network and Dial-up Connections.

• Right-click Local Area Connection, select Properties, and then select the Sharing tab.

• Clear the check box for Enable Internet Connection Sharing for this connection, and then click OK.

• Re-enable Sharing for the Ethernet adapter (repeat Step 1.c.), and select (check) the sharing box.

If you are prompted to select an adapter, sel ect Bluetooth n etwork adap ter. (This opti on is not dis played unl ess more than one adapter is available.)

If prompted, restart the computer.

TEST A NETWORK ACCESS CONNECTION

If the client is hardwired to the LAN, unplug the hardwired connection to ensure that the test checks the wireless connection rather than the hardwired connection.

If the server has access to the Internet, open a browser on the client and connect to the World Wide Web.

You may also Ping the server from the DOS prompt.

UNKNOWN PORT MESSAGE WHEN USING A BLUETOOTH SERIAL PORT

The Unknown Port error message usually means an attempt was made to connect a port that was in use.

Additional Bluetooth Serial Ports can be added if they are required.

BLUETOOTH HEADSET DOES NOT ALWAYS FUNCTION UNDER WINDOWS 98

Windows 98 cannot convert audio files with the extension m3u (e.g., myfile.m3u) into the Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) audio format used by Bluetooth headsets; this is a limitation of Windows 98.

Other versions of Windows (2000, ME and XP) can translate m3u audio files into the PCM format.

Possible solutions are:

• Upgrade to a newer version of Windows.

• Use an .m3u-to-.mp3 co n v ersio n util ity to c on v ert the file(s) into a format that is supported by Windo ws 9 8.

(Conversion utilities are available as freeware or shareware on the Internet).
