1 Introduction
1.1 I
NTRODUCTION TO BLUETOOTH
The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices.
In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection.
Before a connection is established, one device must request a connection with another.
The second device accepts (or rejects) the connection.
The originator of the request is known as the client.
The device that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server.
Many Bluetooth devices can act as both client and server.
A client Bluetooth device runs a software program that requests a connection to another device as part of its normal operation. For example, the program may request a connection to a remote computer, a printer, or a modem.
Becoming a Bluetooth client normally requires an action by the device operator, such as an attempt to browse a remote computer, print a file, or dial out on a modem.
Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth software is always running in the background on the server, ready to respond to connection requests.
1.2 B
The Bluetooth USB Dongle allows a computer with a USB port to communicate with other Bluetooth-enabled devices. When used with the Bluetooth application software it can perform wireless network applications such as information exchange, file transfer, network access, dial-up networking and so on.

Bluetooth USB Adapter BTW Configuration & User’s Guide
The services supported by BTW are:
• Bluetooth Serial Port—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between two
devices. The connection may be used by applications as though a physical serial cable connected the devices.
• Dial-up Networking—allows a Bluetooth client to use a modem that is physically
attached to the Bluetooth server.
• Fax—allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send a fax using a device that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
• File Transfer—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection that allows your
computer to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth-enabled device—browse, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc.
• Information Exchange—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between
two devices so that they can exchange personal information manager data such as business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.
• Information Synchronization—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection
between two devices and uses the connection to synchronize Personal Information Manager data between the two devices.
• Network Access—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between the client
and a server that is physically connected to the Local Area Network. If the client has permission (user name and password for the LAN), the wireless connection can be used as if the client were hardwired to the LAN.
All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services. For example, network gateways such as those in WIDCOMM’s BlueGate series only provide access to the Local Area Network (the Network Access service).
To determine the services provided by a Bluetooth device:
1. On the client, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth
Neighborhood.
2. In the right pane of Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click anywhere except
on a device name and select Refresh from the pop-up menu.
In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device and select Discover Available Services from the pop-up menu to update the available services list. The available services will be displayed in the right pane of My Bluetooth Places.
1.4 B
Every Bluetooth device has a unique 48-bit binary Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) burned into its Read-Only Memory (ROM). This address cannot be changed by the end­user.
A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format; 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a valid BDA.
Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable, user-friendly name to help distinguish it from other Bluetooth devices. The user-friendly name may be up to 99 alphanumeric characters in length and may contain spaces. My Personal Computer is a valid user-friendly name.

CONS USED FOR BLUETOOTH DEVICES AND SERVICES
Bluetooth icons provide at-a-glance feedback about a device or service's status by changing color.
Device icons are blue in color with yellow accents in their "normal" state and green with yellow accents in their "connected" state. Devices that are paired with this computer display a "check mark" in the upper-left portion of their icon. (See Errata for Windows XP

2 Basic Operations
2.1 F
IND BLUETOOTH DEVICES
“Search for Devices” looks for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays the devices it finds in My Bluetooth Places.
To start the Search for Devices:
• In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Devices, select (highlight) a device name
• Open the Bluetooth menu and select Search for Devices.
The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active.
BTW can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular basis (Bluetooth Configuration Panel >Discovery tab).
One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility the wireless connections allow. However, mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during the time between the automatic updates performed by BTW. 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 above.
Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devices found because
• Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel >Discovery tab, on your device).
• The unlisted device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth Configuration
Panel > Accessibility tab, on the unlisted device).
