BTW Configuration & User’s Guide Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO BLUETOOTH
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.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide Introduction
1.2 INTRODUCTION TO BTW
BTW is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personal
computers.
For an overview of the features added in this release, see What's New.
Most Bluetooth-enabled devices have the capability to act as:
• A Bluetooth server—these devices provide one or more services, such as access
to the Internet, to other Bluetooth devices.
• A Bluetooth client—these devices use the service(s) provided by Bluetooth
servers.
Bluetooth devices that can act as both server and client can often do both at the same
time.
BTW provides:
• Clients 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.
• Servers with the means to include/exclude individual services in the list of
services they provide to clients.
• Extensive security, including:
! Authorization
! Authentication
! Encryption.
BTW supports
• Windows 2000.
• Windows 98SE (Second Edition).
• Windows Me (Millennium Edition)
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition.
BTW functions the same way, regardless of the supported version of Windows on which
it is running.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide Introduction
The services supported by BTW are:
• Bluetooth Serial Port—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between
two devices. The connection may be used by applications as though a physical
serial cable connected the devices.
• Dial-up Networking—allows a Bluetooth client to use a modem that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
• Fax—allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send a fax using a device that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
• File Transfer—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection that allows your
computer to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth-enabled
device—browse, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc.
• Information Exchange—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between
two devices so that they can exchange personal information manager data such as
business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.
• Information Synchronization—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection
between two devices and uses the connection to synchronize Personal
Information Manager data between the two devices.
• Network Access—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between the client
and a server that is physically connected to the Local Area Network. If the client
has permission (user name and password for the LAN), the wireless connection
can be used as if the client were hardwired to the LAN.
All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services. For example, a
network gateway may only provide access to the Local Area Network (the Network
Access service).
To determine the services provided by a Bluetooth device:
1. On the client, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire B luetooth
Neighborhood.
2. In the right pane of Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click anywhere except
on a device name and select Refresh from the pop-up menu.
In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device and select Discover
Available Services from the pop-up menu to update the available services list. The
available services will be displayed in the right pane of My Bluetooth Places.
1.3 BLUETOOTH DEVICE IDENTITY
Every Bluetooth device has a unique 48-bit binary Bluetooth Device Address (BDA)
burned into its Read-Only Memory (ROM). This address cannot be changed by the enduser.
A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format; 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a
valid BDA.
Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable, user-friendly name to help
distinguish it from other Bluetooth devices. The user-friendly name may be up to 99
alphanumeric characters in length and may contain spaces. My Personal Computer is a
valid user-friendly name.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide Basic Operations
2 Basic Operations
2.1 FIND BLUETOOTH DEVICES
“Search for Devices” looks for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays the devices
it finds in My Bluetooth Places.
To start the Search for Devices:
• In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Devices, select (highlight) a device name
• Open the Bluetooth menu and select Search for Devices.
The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active.
BTW 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 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 BTW. 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 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 unlisted device).
