Bluetooth for Windows
The Bluetooth® wireless module provides short-range wireless communications that replace the
physical cable connections traditionally used to link electronic devices such as
Network access points.
●
Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA, and so on).
●
Imaging devices (printer, camera).
●
Audio devices (headset, headphones, speakers).
●
The Bluetooth wireless module also enables communication between the above devices and Bluetoothenabled phones (cellular, cordless, smart phones, and so on).
The devices are represented in the Bluetooth for Windows software by graphical icons that resemble
their physical features, which makes them easily recognizable and distinguishes them from other
classes of devices.

Bluetooth for Windows software
The Bluetooth for Windows software consists of the following components:
Microsoft® Windows® Explorer Extensions—Provide access to Bluetooth devices in the immediate
●
vicinity using Windows Explorer.
My Bluetooth Places—Graphical user interface (GUI) that provides access to Bluetooth devices in
●
the immediate vicinity. Also provides access to configuring the local devices and performing other
Bluetooth tasks.
BTTray Security Manager—Controls and manages Bluetooth security levels. Also enables you to
●
grant or deny access and to filter what can be accessed on a Bluetooth device.
Bluetooth for Windows Configuration Panel—Configures your Bluetooth for Windows (BTW)
●
software using Windows Control Panel.
Stack Server—Provides an interface for the operating system to control Bluetooth devices and to
●
ensure that Bluetooth connections operate together correctly. The stack server has a built-in
Security Manager that protects the Bluetooth device from unauthorized access.
Bluetooth Setup Wizard—Facilitates the configuration and modification of your Bluetooth
●
environment. The wizard can be used to configure or change local services or to establish
connections to remote devices based on service type or device type.
Quick Connect—Facilitates fast connections based on service type. You are able to quickly find
●
devices that support a particular service and establish a connection to that service. During this
process, a shortcut to the service, which can be used for subsequent connections, is created in
My Bluetooth Places.
