Chapter 1
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
ADAPTER
The Bluetooth USB Adapter 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.
The SYN1244A Bluetooth USB Adapter is a high power (class 1) and is bundled with
Widcomm Bluetooth Software. The transmission range is up to 100-150 meters. 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,

Introduction To Bluetooth Software
The wireless Bluetooth USB Adapter 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 Adapter.
4.1 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.
3. 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.
25
4.2 BLUETOOTH DEVICE IDENTITY
Every Bluetooth device has a unique 48-bit binary Bluetooth Device Address (BDA)
burned into its EEPROM. This address cannot be changed by the end-user.
A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format; 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a
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
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.
4.3 BLUETOOTH TRAY
The Bluetooth tray resides in the Windows system tray , which is normally located in the
lower-right corner of the screen. The Bluetooth tray provides fast access to most
Bluetooth operations.
From the Bluetooth tray you can:
Access My Bluetooth Places—double-click the Bluetooth icon, or right-click the
Bluetooth icon and then select Explore My Bluetooth Places.
Access the Bluetooth Setup Wizard. This wizard will help you:
Configure how this computer accesses a service on another Bluetooth device
