Introduction
INTRODUCTION 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.
INTRODUCTION TO THE WIRELESS BLUETOOTH USB
DONGLE
The Bluetooth USB Dongle is specifically designed to plug into an available USB port
connecting to a desktop or laptop. It is the best solution for quick and easy connection and
access to your Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) and other shared resources without cables
or wires.
We provide both low power (class 2/3) and high power (class 1) Bluetooth USB Dongle. Each
Bluetooth Dongle is bundled with Widcomm Bluetooth Software. The significant difference
between the high power and low power is the transmission range. The transmission range of
class 1 (high power) is up to 50 meters; however, the class 2/3 (low power) is about 10-20
meters. You can choose a suitable Bluetooth USB Dongle depends on your working
5
environment.
The PC configured as the Bluetooth server can support up to 7 Bluetooth client devices with IP
addresses automatically assigned when they connect. The bundled Bluetooth Software also
provides Internet sharing and security access between the server and clients.
After finishing these steps outlined in this manual, you will have the ability to share information,
Network Access and take the full advantage of a “connected” environment.

Introduction To Bluetooth Software
The wireless Bluetooth USB Dongle is bundled with Widcomm Bluetooth Software as the
management software. The Bluetooth Software is the solution for the seamless integration of
Bluetooth technology into personal computers. The software provides the user an easy
interface to manage the Bluetooth Dongle.
5.1 INTRODUCTION TO BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE
Most Bluetooth-enabled devices have the capability to act as:
A Bluetooth server—these devices provide one or more services, such as access
to the Internet, to other Bluetooth devices.
A Bluetooth client—these devices use the service(s) provided by Bluetooth servers.
Bluetooth devices that can act as both server and client can often do both at the same time.
The Bluetooth software provides:
Clients with the means:
To locate other Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity (inquiry)
Discover the services that those devices offer (discovery)
Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services.
Servers with the means to include/exclude individual services in the list of services they
provide to clients.
Extensive security, including:
Authorization
Authentication
Encryption.
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.

valid BDA. You can find the BDA from the Bluetooth Configuration Panel -> Hardware tab
-> Device Address.
Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable, user-friendly name to help
