1 Introduction to BlueSoleil™

BlueSoleil™ is a Windows-based software created by IVT Corporation that allows your
Bluetooth® enabled desktop or notebook computer to wirelessly connect to other Bluetooth
enabled devices. BlueSoleil allows Microsoft Windows users to wirelessly access a wide variety
of Bluetooth enabled digital devices, such as cameras, mobile phones, headsets, printers and GPS receivers. You can also form networks and exchange data with other Bluetooth enabled
computers or PDAs. Platforms supported by BlueSoleil include: Windows 2000 and XP.
1.1 Bluetooth Functions
In order to connect and share services via Bluetooth wireless technology, two devices must support the same Bluetooth profile(s) as well as opposite device roles (i.e., one must be the server and the other must be the client). Bluetooth enabled devices often support multiple
profiles and if involved in multiple connections, can perform different device roles simultaneously.
BlueSoleil supports the following Bluetooth functions (Profiles) in the following device roles:
Bluetooth Functions (Profiles) Client Server
AV Headphone* √ √ Basic Image Profile √ √ Dial-Up Networking √ Fax √ File Transfer √ √ Headset* √ √ Human Interface Device √ LAN Access √ √ Object Push √ √ Personal Area Networking √ √ Printer √ Serial Port √ √ Synchronization √ √
* Only one Headset or AV Headphone connection can exist at a time since
there is only one virtual Bluetooth audio device.
