Introduction

Introduction to Bluetooth
The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices within a Personal Area Network. 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, where 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 le,
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 DBT-122 Bluetooth USB Adapter
The D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter is the perfect wireless solution for quick
and easy access to Bluetooth enabled devices. It is a class 2/3 low power
device and is bundled with Bluetooth Software which allows you to connect to several Bluetooth devices at once. The wireless transmission range of the D-Link DBT-122 Bluetooth USB Adapter is about 10 meters (30 feet). A
PC congured as the Bluetooth server can support up to seven Bluetooth
client devices with IP addresses being automatically assigned upon a successful connection. The Bluetooth Software also provides Internet sharing and security access between the server and clients.
After nishing the steps outlined in this manual, you will have the ability
to share information, obtain network access, and take full advantage of a wireless connected environment.

Bluetooth Software Basic Operations

Start or Stop Bluetooth

To start Bluetooth: in the Windows system tray, right-click the Bluetooth
icon and select Start the Bluetooth Device. The Bluetooth icon is blue in color with a white insert when Bluetooth is running.
To stop Bluetooth: in the Windows system tray, right-click the Bluetooth
icon and select Stop the Bluetooth Device. The Bluetooth icon is blue in color with a red insert when Bluetooth is stopped.

Create a Connection

From the Bluetooth Icon in the System Tray
In the Windows system tray, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Quick
Connect and then the Bluetooth service that you wish to use. If this computer has created a connection to the desired type of service in the past, the options on the shortcut menu are:
• The name(s) of any device(s) with which prior connections to this
type of service have been established. Select a name from the list to re-establish connection.
• Other Devices…Select this option to search for additional devices
that potentially provide the desired service, select a device from the
list, and then click Connect. If this computer has never created a connection to this type of service, the only option on the shortcut menu is “Find Devices….” Select this option to search for devices that potentially provide the desired service, select a device from the list, and then click Connect.
Using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard
• From the Folders pane of Windows Explorer, right-click My Bluetooth Places and select Bluetooth Setup Wizard
or
• In Windows Explorer, with My Bluetooth Places selected, from the Bluetooth menu, select Bluetooth Setup Wizard
or
• From the Windows system tray: right-click the Bluetooth icon and select Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
Follow the wizard’s on-screen instructions.

Bluetooth Software Basic Operations (cont’d)
From Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood
From Windows Explorer:
• In the Folders pane, select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-
click a device name and select “Connect …” the desired service. or
• In the Folders pane, expand Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, select
a device, and then, in the right pane, right-click a service provided by that device and select “Connect to…”

Find Bluetooth Devices

Search for Devices looks for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays
the devices that it nds 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 congured to automatically search for devices on a regular basis (Bluetooth Conguration Panel > Discovery tab).
One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that 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 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:
• Your device is congured to report only specic types or classes of
devices (Bluetooth Conguration Panel > Discovery tab, on your
device).
• The unlisted device is congured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth
Conguration Panel > Accessibility tab, on the un-listed device).

Bluetooth Software Basic Operations (cont’d)

Find A Service

The process of determining the services that a device provides is called Service Discovery.
To initiate a Service Discovery, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device name and select Discover Available Services
from the shortcut menu. Bluetooth services are those things that this computer can do for remote Bluetooth devices. For example, if this computer allows a remote Bluetooth device to send a fax using a fax modem that is physically attached to this computer, then this computer is providing the Bluetooth fax service.
Some services are hardware dependant; this computer cannot provide the
fax service unless it has a physical fax modem, for example. Some Bluetooth services use virtual “hardware.” The Bluetooth Serial Port service, for example, does not 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 service that this computer is capable of providing can be started automatically when Bluetooth starts. Each service can be setup 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 Serial Port—a wireless connection between two devices.
This connection can be 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 le 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 Bluetooth devices to exchange
Personal Information Manager data such as business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.
