1.3 UNINSTALL A PRIOR VERSION OF BTW-CE

1 Introduction To the Bluetooth Software

BTW-CE is the Bluetooth software included with your DCF-650BT and is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into devices that use the Pocket PC operating system. It provides Pocket PCs 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

· Enable/disable individual services

· Security features, on a service-by-service basis, including:

• Authentication

• Authorization

• Encryption.

This User’s Guide is divided into four major sections:

· Introduction to the Bluetooth Software

· Using the Bluetooth Control Panel

· Using the Bluetooth Manager

· Using Remote Device Services—an overview of how to use services provided by remote Bluetooth devices.

1.1 BLUETOOTH ICON

The Bluetooth icon in the lower-right corner of the Today screen provides quick access to the Bluetooth Control Panel.

It also provides visual feedback about whether Bluetooth is “on” or “off”:

· When BTW-CE is active (“on”) the Bluetooth icon is blue

· If BTW-CE is disabled (“off”) the icon appears grayed with a red X in the lower right corner

The prior version of BTW-CE will be uninstalled on both the handheld and desktop computers (follow any additional on-screen instructions that may appear on the desktop computer to complete the uninstall process).

2.1 GENERAL TAB

There are three options on this screen:

· Current Profile:

To change the active profile, tap the down-arrow in the “Current profile:” field and select the new profile from the drop-down list. The current profile will be saved, and the settings from the selected profile will be loaded. To add, delete, or rename a profile, tap

(see Section 2.1.1).

· Bluetooth Status:

• External Bluetooth hardware (CompactFlash or PC expansion card)

(see Figure 4 ).

· Bluetooth Manager:

Tapping on this shortcut starts the Bluetooth Manager.

When Bluetooth is OFF, no connections, incoming or outgoing, are possible.

When Bluetooth is ON, Bluetooth is always “up” and battery drain is significantly greater than when Bluetooth is disabled. To conserve battery power, do not

enable Bluetooth when it is not being used.

Figure 4: Control Panel, General tab, external hardware

2.1.1 Profiles

Profiles are accessed and managed from the Control Panel, General Tab. They allow:

· Different users to quickly re-configure a Pocket PC according to their personal preferences. For example, if multiple users share the same Pocket PC, but each uses it for a different purpose, selecting a preconfigured profile will alter the settings to those of the appropriate user.

· A single user to quickly re-configure a Pocket PC for a different environment. If a PDA is used primarily at the office, but also used when traveling, pre-configured profiles are useful, for example, more secure settings for hotel, airport, or similar “public” environments.

All Bluetooth settings are saved in the active profile. A profile named “Office,” for example, may include Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption settings, and connection shortcuts to specific services on work-related Bluetooth devices. A profile named “Public” on the same device may only allow the owner’s laptop

computer to connect to the Pocket PC. When the “Public” profile is selected, only the Bluetooth settings related to that profile are active.

When the Pocket PC is turned off, BTWCE saves the most recent profile and reloads that profile the next time the device is turned on.

The Profile options (available from the Control Panel, General Tab) are:

· A list of existing profiles—when BTWCE is started for the first time the only profile listed will be “Default.” To enable a profile, tap it.

accesses a screen from which you can:

Add a profile

and whether Bluetooth is enabled on this device.

2.3 BTW-CE SERVICE TABS

The functions that a Pocket PC can provide to other devices are called “Services.”

The services that this Pocket PC is capable of providing are:

· File Transfer—file-related operations such as get/use/delete a file, etc.

· Information Exchange—Send the default business card (Pocket Outlook contact) on request.

· Serial Port—Bluetooth serial port operations. Bluetooth serial ports are used as a replacement for a physical cable between devices.

· Dial-up Networking—provide access, via a phone line or other access system, to a remote computer network such as an Internet service.

Each of these service tabs is explained in detail in the remainder of this section.

2.3.1 Common Options

All of the services have some common settings. Even though the options are the same, in each case they are specific to the service being configured on the individual tabs.

The common options are listed under the About this service heading on each individual service tab. They are:

• Enable service: check this option to have the service start when

BTW-CE initializes. When this option is enabled the service is enabled and “listening” for connection attempts when Bluetooth is enabled.

• Authorization required: check this option to require that each

attempt to establish a connection be individually authorized. When Authorization is enabled and a remote device attempts to connect to this service, BTW-CE asks if the connection should be permitted.

Even though remote devices cannot discover this device unless this option is checked, if a remote device has this device’s Bluetooth Device Address, that device may still be able to connect to this device (see Note below).

• All devices—select this option to allow all devices to connect.

• Paired devices only—select this option to allow only devices

that have a paired relationship (see Section 3.2.2) with this device to connect.

• Other devices can discover me—when this option is enabled,

other Bluetooth devices can see and report this device.
