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.

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

• In Windows Explorer, with My Bluetooth Places selected, from the Bluetooth menu, select Bluetooth Setup Wizard

• 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.

Bluetooth Software Basic Operations (cont’d)

• PIM Synchronization—allows two Bluetooth devices to synchronize

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 network or allows a remote device to become part of an ad hoc network provided by the Bluetooth server.

• Audio Gateway—allows the microphone/speakers on 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 not necessarily provide all of these services. For

example, network gateways may provide only the Network Access service.

Bluetooth Connection Status

The Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box displays information about the state of a connection and provides a means to disconnect an active connection.

Display the Connection Status dialog box: in My Bluetooth Places, from

the Folders pane, select a device, and then, in the right pane of My Bluetooth

Places, right-click a service name and select Status from the shortcut menu.

The Information provided is:

• Status: “Connected” or “Not Connected”

• Device Name: the name of the device to which this computer is

connected.

• Duration: the length of time that this connection has been

established, displayed in hours, minutes and seconds. Depending on the service, the connection may time out (automatically disconnect)

after a specic period of inactivity.

• Activity: the number of bytes sent and received over the connection.

• Signal Strength: a graphic indicator that ranges from Too Weak

through Good to Too Strong.

Human Interface Device

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. Important Note: The DBT-122 should work

with most HID devices.

Create a Bluetooth HID connection

NOTE: Some HIDs have multiple modes. Before establishing a connection, be

sure the HID is in the desired mode. For example, in the case of an 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 an HID connection is established, that connection will persist. If the computer is shut down, when the computer is turned on again the connection will re-establish automatically.

Bluetooth Conﬁguration (cont’d)

Applications > HID, Audio Gateway

NOTE: HIDs usually have a button, which is sometimes difcult to nd, that must

be pressed before other Bluetooth devices can locate the HID. Even after the button is pressed, the HID can only be discovered 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 an HID connection

Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to close an HID connection; once established the connection is maintained automatically, even during the power off and power on processes. If, for some reason, the connection must be closed: from My Bluetooth Places, right-click the service name and select Disconnect.

When an HID connection is closed manually by the operator, the

connection’s “persistence” is broken. The connection must be re-established manually, after which the connection will again persist until broken manually.

Congure

No conguration is necessary.

Audio Gateway

Overview

The Audio Gateway Application allows a remote Bluetooth device to use this computer’s microphone and speakers as the remote device’s audio input and output devices.

Applications > Headset

Hands-Free Prole (HFP)

Overview

The Hands-Free Prole (HFP) denes how two devices that support HFP will interact on a point-to-point basis. With HFP, a headset or any other Hands-

Free embedded unit can connect wirelessly to a cellular phone to act as the cellular phone’s audio input and output mechanism. HFP applied in this way also allows typical telephone functions to be performed without the need to access the actual phone. The Hands-Free AG (Audio Gateway) role can be used as the source side of the HFP connection. It can be used to connect with a Hands-Free device, like a Bluetooth headset.

Two roles are dened for this application:

An Audio Gateway (AG) is a device that is the source of the audio, both for input and output. Cellular phones are a typical AG role device.

A Hands-Free (HF) unit is a device acting as an Audio Gateway’s remote audio input and output mechanism. Units in an HF role also provide some remote control capabilities over AG devices.

Advanced Audio Distribution Prole (A2DP)

Overview

The Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Prole (A2DP) application allows

a computer to use Bluetooth for distribution of high quality audio content in mono or stereo on ACL channels. A typical application of A2DP is for streaming music content from a stereo music player or PC to headphones or speakers. Users can enjoy high-quality music on a Bluetooth stereo headset receiving streaming music from the DBT-122 dongle via a PC.

A2DP denes the protocol for audio streaming while the Video Distribution Prole (VDP) denes video streaming. So, to gain both high quality audio

and video, you need Bluetooth devices which support both A2DP and VDP.

Two roles are dened for this application:

An A2DP Source is a device, such as a Bluetooth MP3 or PDA, providing the source of a digital audio stream for delivery to an A2DP Sink.

An A2DP Sink is a device, such as a Bluetooth headset or stereo speakers, receiving a digital audio stream provided by an A2DP Source.

Some devices can operate in both roles, although not simultaneously. For example, the speakers on a PC can be used as an A2DP Sink to play music transmitted from an A2DP Source such as a Bluetooth MP3 player.

Video Distribution Prole (VDP)

Overview

The Bluetooth Video Distribution Prole (VDP) application denes how a

Bluetooth enabled device streams video content using ACL channels. A typical application of VDP is for streaming stored video playback from a PC media center to a portable player or streaming from a digital video camera to a TV. Users can watch streaming video playback using the DBT-122 dongle via a PC.

VDP denes the protocol for video streaming while A2DP denes high quality

audio streaming. So, for high quality audio and video, your Bluetooth devices should support both VDP and A2DP.

Basic Printing Prole (BPP)

Overview

The Basic Printing Prole (BPP) denes how a Bluetooth device can send

print job requests to a Bluetooth enabled printer without the need for device-

specic printer drivers. Common applications of BPP include printing e-mail

messages, short messages (SMS), and formatted documents. Optional support for the printing of structured data objects such as vCard and

vCalendar entries is also dened, as well as methods for negotiating the use

of other formats supported by the printer.

The Basic Printing Prole allows a Bluetooth enabled printer to act as a print

server to accept objects pushed by a sender, for example a PDA or a mobile phone, and print out the result.

Two roles are dened for this application:

A Printer is a server device used as an object exchange server. A Sender is the client device that pushes an object to the Printer

BPP also species two types of print service: Direct Printing and Reference Printing. For Direct Printing jobs or services, the content to be printed is

stored on the Sender. For Reference Printing jobs or services, the content to be printed is stored on the network and referenced by the Sender in queuing a print request. The Printer’s main task is to accept a print request of either type from a Sender, queue it, and print the content.

Service Common Conguration 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.

• Notications-provides visual and/or audio notication that a remote

device is attempting to connect (or has connected) to a service on this computer.

Bluetooth Conﬁguration (cont’d)

Services > Notications

Notications

Overview

There are three types of notication:

• Authentication request, also called a PIN code request—this

notication appears automatically in a balloon over the Windows system tray if a Personal Identication Code is required before a connection can proceed. An audio le can also be associated with the notication.

• Authorization request, also called a connection request—this type of

notication can be visual, audio, or both. It noties you of attempts to

access a Bluetooth service on this computer; the connection will not

proceed until you click the balloon that appears over the Windows system tray. If the notication balloon is ignored, the connection

request will time out and fail.

• Notication only—this type of notication does not effect 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 notications are controlled by

whether Secure Connection is enabled for an individual service.

An example of how notications might work when a remote device attempts to access a service on this computer, if all notications are enabled:

1. Authentication: a balloon notication (audio optional) appears to

prompt for a PIN code. If the PIN code does not match the code entered on the remote device, the connection will not be allowed.

Once the remote device has been authenticated this notication will

not appear again, unless the paired relationship is broken and the devices must re-pair.

2. Authorization: a balloon notication appears and/or a sound le provides audio notication that a remote device is attempting to

access a Bluetooth service on this computer. Click the balloon to proceed. A dialog box appears that offers the option of letting the connection proceed this time only or to always allow this particular remote device to use the service it is attempting to access.

3. Once a connection has been authorized, an additional visual and/or audio notication may appear (if enabled). This notication is for

information only to inform the operator that a connection has been established.

Bluetooth Conﬁguration (cont’d)

Services > Audio Gateway Service

After two devices are paired (step 1, above), the authentication notication

will no longer appear when a connection is attempted.

If “Always allow…” is enabled during the authorization process (step 2, above), the authorization notication will not appear on future connection

attempts.

Connection notication (step 3, above) only happens if it has been enabled

Service Access Notication

“Notications” lets you associate a sound (Windows *.wav le) and/or a

visual indication with access attempts by remote devices.

A different notication sound can be associated with each local Bluetooth

service.

Associate a sound with service access

From the Bluetooth Conguration Panel, Local Services tab:

1. Double-click a service name and then select the Notications tab.

2. Check the desired options; visual and sound may both be selected for a single event.

3. Choose a sound; click the Browse button and navigate to the sound le (*.wav) to be used for notication.

PIM Synchronization

The PIM Synchronization service can be used by a remote device to synchronize its Personal Information Manager (PIM) database with

the PIM database of this computer. Four data types are supported:

• Business cards

• Calendar items

• Email messages

• Notes

Whether an individual item is accepted and where it is stored, when accepted, is congured in the PIM Item Transfer service. If that service is not congured to store a particular data type in Outlook, then that data type cannot be synchronized.

NOTE: Data types that will be synchronized must be saved in the PIM database (this is congured in the PIM Item Transfer service);

otherwise, that data type will not be available for selection (it will be

grayed out) in the PIM Synchronization conguration settings.

Microsoft Outlook permits duplicate entries, so all duplicates may not

be exchanged in the synchronization process.

NOTE: Only Outlook’s default contacts folder is synchronized. Items in sub folders are not synchronized. Items that are moved from the default

folder to a sub-folder will appear to have been deleted the next time

synchronization takes place.

Security

Authentication

Authentication is used to verify identity; it requires a passkey or link key from

the remote device. When a remote device attempts access, a visual and/or audio warning noties the local operator. If the notication 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-No security that requires operator intervention to

avoid having the connection time out and fail.

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).

Bluetooth Device Identity

Every Bluetooth device has a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) assigned to it during the manufacturing process. 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.

Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-congurable, user-friendly

name to help distinguish it from other 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.

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 unique, internally generated, access code based on a passkey, the Bluetooth Device Address and an internally generated random number. Link keys are generated automatically when devices Pair.

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

Security (cont’d)

Pairing Devices

Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each time a connection is attempted. Paired devices share a unique link key, which they exchange each time they connect.

NOTE: The mate of a pair always appears in My Bluetooth Places, even if the mate is not turned on or is out of connection range.

Paired devices remain paired even when

• One of the devices is not on

• A service connection is interrupted or the service stopped

• One or both devices are rebooted.

To Pair with another device

If Secure Connection is enabled, devices will pair automatically the rst time

they connect (a passkey must be successfully exchanged). To pair with a device manually: In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device, select Pair Device from the shortcut menu, and then follow the on-screen instructions. Remove Pairing In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a paired device and select Unpair Device from the shortcut menu.

Passkey

An alphanumeric string up to 16 characters in length. Passkeys are also

called Personal Identication Numbers, or PIN codes.

A passkey may be required if the Secure Connection option is enabled for a Bluetooth service or application.

Secure Connection

A passkey or link key is required each time a connection is attempted. All data exchanged over the Bluetooth connection is encrypted.

Depending on other conguration options, authorization may also be

required.

Security Request Dialog Box

A Bluetooth passkey request and/or Bluetooth Authorization request balloon may appear over the Windows system tray when a connection is attempted if

Secure Connection is enabled. Click the balloon to proceed.

Troubleshooting

Cannot connect to a paired device

Paired devices are always displayed in My Bluetooth Places, even if the remote device is out of range or not powered up. Verify that the remote member of the pair is within radio range, and powered up, and then attempt the connection again.

Cannot discover services on an unpaired remote device

The remote device may not be powered up or may be out of range.

• Verify that the remote device is powered up.

• Verify that the remote device is in Connectable mode (Bluetooth

Conguration Panel > Accessibility tab).

• Perform a Search for Devices to verify that the device is within range.

Dial-up Networking service does not start

The Dial-up Networking service will not start unless a properly congured

modem is attached to the server.

• Verify that the modem is usable as a local device on the computer to

which it is attached.

• In the Bluetooth Conguration Panel, Local Services tab,

double-click the Dial-up Networking service.

• Click the down arrow in the Modem eld and select the modem

that will be used to dial out.

• Click the OK button.

• Click the OK button to close the Bluetooth Conguration Panel.

Troubleshooting (cont’d)

Determine the Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) of my hardware device

In the Bluetooth Conguration Panel, on the Hardware tab, in the Devices

section, select the device you want to determine the address of. In the Device Properties section of the dialog box, the fourth entry, Device Address, is the BDA of the selected Bluetooth device.

Determine the version of the Host Controller Interface (HCI)

In the Bluetooth Conguration Panel, on the Hardware tab, in the Device Properties section, the fth entry provides Bluetooth Specication

compliance information for the Host Controller Interface.

The sixth entry contains the Specication Revision information for the Host

Controller Interface, if appropriate.

Determine the version of the Link Manager Protocol (LMP)

In the Bluetooth Conguration Panel, on the Hardware tab, in the Device

Properties section, the seventh entry provides Link Manager Protocol version number information. The eighth entry contains the Link Manager Protocol sub-version number information, if appropriate.

Find information about the Bluetooth hardware attached to my computer

In the Bluetooth Conguration Panel, select the Hardware tab.

Internet Connection Sharing Does Not Work

This occurs because Internet Connection Sharing was enabled when

Bluetooth was installed (this is a Microsoft Windows behavior and is

considered proper operation). To resolve the “problem”:

1. Disable Sharing for the Ethernet adapter:

a) Windows Control Panel > Network and Dial-up Connections.

b) Right-click “Local Area Connection,” select Properties, and then

select the Sharing tab.

c) Clear (uncheck) the box for “Enable Internet Connection Sharing

for this connection” and click OK.

Troubleshooting (cont’d)

Internet Connection Sharing Does Not Work

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

If offered an option to select an adapter, select “Bluetooth network adapter.” (This option will not appear unless more than one adapter is available.) If asked to reboot the computer, do so.

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 Doesn’t Always Function

Under WIN 98

Windows 98 cannot convert audio les with the extension m3u (e.g., myle.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 les

into the PCM format. Possible solutions are:

• Upgrade to a newer version of Windows.

• Use an m3u-to-mp3 conversion utility to convert the le(s) into a

format that is supported by Windows 98. (Conversion utilities are

available as freeware or shareware on the Internet.)
