1. Introduction

1.1 Bluetooth Technology

The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the
wireless exchange of data between two devices. 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. 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 file, 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.

1.2 MSI™ Bluetooth USB Dongle

3.1 Introduction to BlueSoleil™

BlueSoleil is a Windows-based software from IVT that allows
your Bluetooth® enabled desktop or notebook computer to
wirelessly connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices.
BlueSoleil allows MS 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 98SE,
ME, 2000, and XP.

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:
