If this computer has created a connection to the desired type of service in the past, the
options on the shortcut menu are:
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.
TART OR STOP BLUETOOTH
REATE A CONNECTION FROM THE BLUETOOTH ICON IN THE SYSTEM TRAY
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.
2.3 C
2.4 C
NOTE: Only available services are displayed in the menus.
REATE A CONNECTION USING THE BLUETOOTH SETUP WIZARD
•
From the Folders pane of Windows Explorer, right-click My Bluetooth Places
and select Bluetooth Setup Wizard.

2.5 F
NOTE: The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active.
2.5.1 Periodic Search for Devices
IND BLUETOOTH DEVICES
Search for Devices looks for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays the devices
that it finds 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.
Bluetooth can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular basis
(Bluetooth Configuration 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 configured to report only specific types or classes of devices
•
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab, on your device).
• The unlisted device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth
Configuration Panel > Accessibility tab, on the un-listed device).
2.6 F
IND 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 set up to require security
measures before allowing a remote Bluetooth device to connect.

BTW User’s Guide
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 file 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.
•
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.

LUETOOTH 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

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.
