Bluetooth Neighborhood
Introduction
With the Bluetooth Software Suite, you can
establish wireless links between your computer
and other Bluetooth enabled devices. Without
using an inch of cable, you can for example:
• Transfer computer files;
• Transfer objects, for instance electronic
business cards (vCards);
• Transfer sound, for instance using your
computer as a speaker phone;
• Access the Internet by means of dial-up
networking;
• Connect to local area networks;
• Send fax messages, using the fax software of
your computer;
• Establish Bluetooth ad hoc networks consisting
of two or more Bluetooth devices;
• Connect to serial devices (legacy applications).
Most operations are carried out from an
application called the Bluetooth Neigborhood. This
is an equivalent to the Microsoft Network
Neighborhood/My Network Places. The latter is an
ordinary network, the Bluetooth Neighborhood is a
wireless network of the Bluetooth devices within
range.
The basic functions of the Bluetooth
Neighborhood include three steps:
1. Carrying out device discovery, i.e. finding out
which remote Bluetooth devices are available
within your range;
2. Carrying out service discovery, i.e. finding out
which services (applications) a remote device
facilitates;
3. Establishing links to remote devices.
When a Bluetooth link has been established
between two or more devices, they can
communicate, making use of a great number of
possible applications.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
Opening Bluetooth Neighborhood
The Bluetooth Neighborhood and Windows
Explorer are highly integrated. Therefore,
Windows Explorer is the natural place to open the
Bluetooth Neighborhood: Open Windows
Explorer, and select the Bluetooth Neighborhood
among the folders in Windows.
Alternatively, you can open the Bluetooth
Neighborhood from the shortcut placed on your
desktop during the installation:
6
Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
Bluetooth Neighborhood window
When you open the Bluetooth Neighborhood, the
following window appears
*
:
The figures 1-7 refer to the following explanations:
*
The first time you open the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you will
not see any remote Bluetooth devices. To discover the remote
devices within range, press F5.
Note also that as the setup of the window depends on your
Windows Explorer setup, the components in the above
example may not be exactly the ones shown on your screen.
1: Menu bar: Contains standard Windows pull-
down menus and a Bluetooth menu. We will
deal with the Bluetooth menu in later sections.
Furthermore, from the menu bar, you can
access the Bluetooth Software Suite online
help.
2: Tool bar: Contains standard Windows tools
like Back, Forward, View, etc. In addition, the
bar contains such Bluetooth tools as Device
Discovery and Disconnect.
3: Address bar: Shows which item is currently
selected. Also, from this bar you can browse in
Windows Explorer.
4: View details: Appears when on the View
menu you have selected the item View Details.
You will see various information on the items in
the list view. For more information, see the
section “View details”
.
5: Local Profiles/Local Services bar: Shows
the local profiles or the local services that your
Bluetooth device supports. For more
information, see the section "Profiles and
services".
6: Status bar: Provides information on the item
currently selected in the Bluetooth
Neighborhood.
7: List view: Shows you the contents of the
folder, remote device, etc. currently selected.
See the section “List view”
.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
The setup of the Bluetooth Neighborhood window
depends on your Windows Explorer setup. Thus,
the above example does not show all the standard
Windows components that may be added to the
window.
Profiles and services
Interoperability depends on profiles
Any Bluetooth device has at least one profile, i.e.
an application that you can use the device for.
When two devices are to interoperate, i.e.
communicate with each other, they must have a
shared profile. If, for instance, you want to transfer
a file from one Bluetooth enabled computer to
another, both computers must support the profile
OBEX File Transfer.
The Bluetooth Software Suite supports a number
of profiles, called your Local Profiles. You will find
these on the Local Profiles bar.
Services are used for link establishment
While the function of the Local Profiles bar is to
display the profiles your device supports, the
Local Services bar is what you will actually be
when operating the Bluetooth
using
Neighborhood. Facilitated by a profile, each of the
services represents a specific operation that your
device can carry out. An example of a service is
business card transfer, which is facilitated by the
profile OBEX Object Push. Business card transfer
can take place between your computer and other
Bluetooth devices supporting the OBEX Object
Push profile.
In later sections, we will show you how to make
use of each of the services that your device
features.
For the Local Profiles bar, click Local Profiles.
For the Local Services bar, click Local Services.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
List view
The list view in the main window contains three
elements: My Inbox, My Shared Files, and a list of
discovered remote devices. When an item is
selected in the Bluetooth Neighborhood, for
instance My Inbox or a remote device, the list
view will display the contents of that item. (In this
connection, the contents of a remote device are
the services it supports).
My Inbox:
This is where your device receives objects like
electronic business cards, messages, notes, and
calendar objects. My Inbox is a folder of files like
any other Windows folder, and its contents can be
copied, renamed, dragged and dropped etc. (For
more information, see the section “Receiving
objects”.)
For a complete list of the profiles that your
Bluetooth device supports, including which
services each profile facilitates, see “Appendix A:
Profiles”.
My Shared Files:
In this folder, you can make files available to
remote users. When a remote user has carried
out service discovery on your device, he will be
able to open your folder My Shared Files and the
files you have placed in it. Also, remote users can
place files in your folder My Shared Files and – if
allowed – delete files (see “File Transfer Settings”
for information on the security aspects of receiving
files). Finally, if a remote device sends a file to
your device, it is received in My Shared Files. Like
My Inbox, you can manipulate My Shared Files
like any Windows folder. For more information,
see the section “File transfer”
.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
Remote devices or services:
The devices shown in the main window list view
are the remote Bluetooth devices that your device
has discovered during device discovery. The
icons show what kind of device each remote
device is (device class), like the desktop and
laptop computer icons in the following example:
A question mark is used to show that the device
class is unknown:
When service discovery has been carried out on a
remote device, the list view will change to showing
the services facilitated by the remote device in
question. Each service is represented by an icon,
for instance DUN (dial-up networking) and FAX:
Appendix B
contains a complete list of the various
remote device and service icons.
Finally, the icons will indicate “linked” and
“bonded” as follows:
Furthermore, it is indicated by the icons whether
or not a device is within range as follows:
Within range
Out of range
Note: The list view does not show your local
device, only remote ones.
Linked
Bonded
Linked and bonded
The list view settings can be changed like other
Windows list view settings; you can for instance
change the size of the icons or have the elements
displayed as a list. For information on settings
specifically relevant in connection with the
Bluetooth Software Suite, see the section “View
details”.

Before you start communicating with remote
users, you should select the name that you want
your device to present itself with when discovered
by remote devices. To do so:
1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth
Neighborhood Properties:
The following dialog box opens:
2. At the top of the dialog box, click the tab
Settings.
3. In the item Bluetooth Device Name, type the
name you want your device to present itself
with when discovered by devices, for instance
“Adam”:
4. Click OK.
Other Bluetooth devices discovering your device
will now see it as "Adam".
11
Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
For information on the item Bluetooth Device
Class in the dialog box shown above, see the
section “Bluetooth Neighborhood properties” –
“Settings”
.
Device discovery
Before your local device can get to communicate
with a remote Bluetooth device, it needs to
discover the remote devices that are available
within range. This activity is called device
discovery.
To carry out device discovery: On the Bluetooth
menu, click Device Discovery.
While your device is looking for remote devices,
the following dialog box will show the progress of
the device discovery:
When the device discovery has been carried out,
the list view will show which remote devices within
range are currently available. Also, you can see
the previously discovered devices that are no
longer available (cf. the section “List view”
):
12
Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
Note: The main window list view does not show
your local device, only the discovered remote
ones.
Alternative ways of carrying out device discovery:
• When the main window list view is displayed,
press F5. This will update the list view.
• On the tool bar, click the tool button Device
Discovery.
Service discovery
Before trying to establish a link to a remote
device, it may be useful to know which services
the device facilitates. To find out, you can carry
out service discovery. Double-click the remote
device in the main window list view:
When the service discovery has been carried out,
the list view will show the services that the remote
device supports:
In some cases, it may not be possible to carry out
service discovery. There could be a number of
reasons for this: The remote user may have set
up his device to reject link establishment attempts
(cf. “Bluetooth Neighborhood properties” – “Trust”
and “Remote device properties” – “Trust”
), the
distance between the two devices may be too far,
etc. If service discovery (or any other activity) is
not carried out successfully, a message box will
let you know what went wrong.
13
Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
Link establishment
When you have carried out service discovery, you
can establish a link to the remote device. You can
make use of any service that both your device and
the remote device support. Drag the local service
to the corresponding remote service:
In the above example, a DUN (dial-up networking)
link is being established by dragging the local
DUN service to the remote DUN service. (The
remote device could be a Bluetooth enabled
modem, which would allow you to access the
Internet.)
Alternatively, if you know in advance that a remote
device supports a particular service, you can skip
service discovery. Just drag the local service to
the remote device:
refer to the section about the local service in
question.
If link establishment is not carried out
successfully: The remote user may have set up
his device to reject link establishment attempts (cf.
distance between the two devices may be too far,
etc. A message box will let you know what went
wrong.
In this example, a DUN link is being established
by dragging the local DUN service to the remote
device.

Disconnect:
Alternatively, double-click the remote service that
your local device is connected to.
The link will now be disconnected.
Status information
The Bluetooth Neighborhood status bar provides
you with information on the item currently selected
in the Bluetooth Neighborhood, like the name of a
remote device (“Eddie’s Notepad”) or My Inbox.
Also, message boxes keep you informed of the
progress of any activity, and let you know if
anything goes wrong. The following example is a
message box showing that the local device is
being disconnected from a remote one:

When you have carried out service discovery on a
remote device, the list view can display the
following information on the services that the
remote device supports:
Details concerning My Inbox and My Shared
Files
If you have opened My Inbox or My Shared Files,
you can get the same information on each of the
received objects or files that you can get in
standard Windows folders:
• Name: The name of the remote service.
• Description: The name of the profile that
supports the remote service. If your device
features the same profile, interoperability
between the two devices is possible.
• Status: Whether or not the remote service is
connected to your device.
• Name: The name given to the object or file
when it was saved.
• Size: The size of the object or folder.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
Device folders
What is a device folder?
In the Bluetooth Neighborhood main list view, you
can create device folders: folders containing a
number of remote devices. You can communicate
with a device folder as with any single remote
device. When doing so, you will be
communicating with all the devices in the folder at
the same time. You can for instance use this
feature to distribute objects or files to more than
one device at a time.
How to create a device folder:
1. Open the Bluetooth Neighborhood main
window.
2. On the Bluetooth menu, click Create New
Device Folder.
A new folder will appear in the list view:
The default name of the folder is New Folder.
However, you can rename the folder like any
Windows folder: Select the folder, click F2, and
type the new name.
3. Drag the remote devices you want to the
device folder. This is a standard Windows
drag-and-drop operation; to move a number of
remote devices at the same time, hold down
the CTRL key, click each remote device, and
then drag the selected remote devices to the
folder.
In the following example, two remote devices
have been selected and are being dragged to
a device folder named “Conference”.
You can create as many device folders as you
like, and you can include as many devices in each
folder as you like.
Communicating with a device folder is done in
exactly the same way as with a single remote
device. In the following example, a business card
is being dragged to the device folder named
“Conference”:

Object transfer
With the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you can
transfer such objects as business cards, e-mail
messages, calendar objects, and notes. If
Microsoft Outlook is installed on your computer,
that is where you create and send objects. If
Microsoft Outlook is not installed on your
computer, you can use the Object Editor included
in the Bluetooth Software Suite.
Making default business card
available
Before your business card can be transferred to a
remote device, it needs to be included as a
service on your Local Services bar. This will allow
remote users to pull your business card, i.e.
transfer it to their devices. Also, you can
business card yourself, i.e. transfer it to remote
devices. Finally, pulling and pushing can take
place in one and the same operation:
business cards. This can be done by both you and
a remote user.
If Microsoft Outlook is installed on your computer,
you can create a business card in Contacts, and
then drag it into the Bluetooth Neighborhood. If
Microsoft Outlook is not installed, you can use the
Object Editor. Both ways of making your default
business card available on the Local Services bar
will be explained in the following.

File transfer
File transfer is a way of sharing files with others.
In the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you can make a
file available to a remote user by placing it in the
folder My Shared Files:
When a remote user opens your folder My Shared
Files, he will have access to the file you placed in
it.
Sending a file to a remote device
When a remote user has carried out service
discovery on your device, he can open your folder
My Shared Files and the files in it. Furthermore,
he can add and delete files if he is allowed to do
so (for information on the security aspects of My
Shared Files, see the section “File Transfer
If you want to transfer a file to the Shared Files
folder of a remote device, you can do so in a
number of ways:
• Drag the file from where it is stored to the
remote device (or device folder):
Settings”).
Finally, if a remote device sends a file to your
local device, it is received in My Shared Files.
Making a file available in My Shared Files
Placing a file in My Shared Files is easily done by
dragging the file from where it is stored to the
folder My Shared Files. Or you can open My
Shared Files first, and then drag the file to the list
view displaying the contents of My Shared Files.
In the above example, a file is being dragged
from My Documents to the remote device.
In the above example, a file is being dragged from
the desktop to the list view displaying the contents
• First carry out service discovery on the remote
device. Then drag the file from where it is
stored into the remote Shared Files folder:

28
Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
No matter which way you choose to transfer a file
to a remote device, the user of that device will
receive the file in his Shared Files folder.
Receiving files
When your local Bluetooth device receives a file
sent from a remote device, the file is placed in My
Shared Files.
You can then open the received file directly from
My Shared Files, or you can drag the file to
wherever you want to store it. In the following
example, a file is being dragged from My Shared
Files to My Documents:

29
Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
Headset
The Headset service makes it possible to have
phone conversations using your computer as a
speaker phone.
This is how the Headset service works:
Sound can be transferred via a Bluetooth link
between your Bluetooth enabled phone and
computer. The phone works as a “gateway” for
the sound to and from the computer. This makes it
possible to carry out a phone conversation using
the (built-in or external) speaker and microphone
of your computer. Alternatively, instead of using
the speaker and microphone of your computer,
you can connect an ordinary (wired) headset to
the computer and use that for the conversation.
How to use the Headset service:
First, establish a link between your computer and
Bluetooth enabled phone. The link can be
established by both devices. To establish the link
from the Bluetooth Neighborhood: Either drag the
local Headset service to the icon in the list view
symbolizing your phone. Or carry out service
discovery on the phone first, then drag the local
Headset service to the remote Audio Gateway
service:
Now, enable the audio (sound): Right-click either
the Headset icon in the Local Services bar or the
icon for the remote service in the list view. Select
Enable audio:
30
Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
When the audio is enabled, the Bluetooth link is
making use of two profiles: Headset and Generic
Audio. Or, in other words, in addition to the Audio
Gateway service, your Bluetooth link involves the
Audio service.
Note: You can make settings for automatic
enabling of audio on link establishment and for
sound quality; please see the section “Headset
settings”.
The sound reaching your phone from the public
telephone network will now be transferred
wirelessly to your computer (and the other way
round: from your computer to your phone ...).
Make a phone call or answer the phone, and carry
out the conversation by your computer.
If you want to maintain the Headset link but
disable the sound, you can do so by
disconnecting the Audio link (i.e. the link involving
the Audio service), cf. the section "Disconnecting"
.
This may be convenient if for example while you
are having a phone conversation by your
computer, a colleague enters your office to give
you a message. Now, put the person on the
phone on hold, disconnect the Audio link, and talk
to your colleague. When you are ready to
continue the phone conversation, simply enable

Audio Gateway
Scenarios
Supported by the Headset profile, the local Audio
Gateway service makes it possible to transfer
sound between your computer and a Bluetooth
enabled headset. Your computer is used as a
“gateway” for the sound. The Audio Gateway
service can be used for a number of things. You
can for instance:
• Listen to music from MP3 and MIDI files or the
like. (In addition, on some computers, you can
listen to CDs using the CD-ROM drive.
However, for technical reasons this is not
possible on all computers).
• Participate in NetMeetings, using Microsoft
NetMeeting or a similar application.
• Use the computer like a phone in handsfree
mode.
In the following sections, we will first describe
each of the mentioned applications, or scenarios,
of the Audio Gateway service. We will then
provide instructions in how to establish an Audio
Gateway link, including enabling/disabling the
audio (sound).
This is how the Audio Gateway service works
in connection with music files:
When you open a music file, the sound is
transferred via a Bluetooth Audio Gateway link
from your computer to your Bluetooth enabled
headset. In other words, the Audio Gateway
service makes it possible to put on your headset,
open a music file, and listen ...
This is how the Audio Gateway service works
when used for NetMeetings:
The sound (the voices of the other participants in
the NetMeeting) reaches your computer from the
Internet or local Intranet. The sound is then
transferred via a Bluetooth Audio Gateway link
from your computer to your Bluetooth enabled
headset. This is how you get to hear the others'
voices. Your own voice is transferred in the
32

opposite direction: When you speak into the
microphone of the headset, the sound is
transferred via the Bluetooth Audio Gateway link
to your computer. The sound is then sent via the
Internet/Intranet to the other NetMeeting
participants. The meeting can proceed ...
Note: To participate in a NetMeeting, you need
Microsoft NetMeeting (or a similar application).
Before the meeting, each participant has to set
up his NetMeeting application for it. For details
on Microsoft NetMeeting, please refer to the
Windows online help.
link to your Bluetooth enabled headset. This is
how you get to hear the voice of the person at the
other end of the line. The sound of your own voice
is routed back the same way: From the
microphone of your Bluetooth enabled headset to
your computer; from your computer to your voice
modem; and via the public telephone network to
the other person's phone (or computer?). Your
computer has been turned into a handsfree
phone!
Note: To use your computer like a handsfree
phone, you need a software application
supporting voice. Such an application is typically
included with a voice modem. For information on
how to use the application, please refer to the
documentation accompanying it.
This is how the Audio Gateway service works
when your computer is used like a phone in
handsfree mode:
The sound (the voice of the person you are talking
to) reaches your voice modem via the public
telephone network. The voice modem is
connected to your computer (with a wire) or
perhaps built into your computer. From the
modem, the sound reaches your computer. It is
then transferred via a Bluetooth Audio Gateway

Audio Gateway link establishment
In the previous section, we took a look at the
principles behind various ways of using the Audio
Gateway service. Whichever of the mentioned
applications you want to use, you need to
establish a Bluetooth Audio Gateway link between
your computer and Bluetooth enabled headset.
The link can be established by both devices.
To establish the Bluetooth Audio Gateway link
from the Bluetooth Neighborhood: Either drag the
local Audio Gateway service to the icon in the list
view symbolizing your headset. Or carry out
service discovery on the headset first, then drag
the local Audio Gateway service to the remote
Headset service:
Now, enable the audio (sound): Right-click either
the icon for the Audio Gateway in the Local
Services bar or the icon for the remote service in
the list view. Select Enable audio.
When the audio is enabled, the Bluetooth link is
making use of two profiles: Headset and Generic
Audio. Or, in other words, in addition to the Audio
Gateway service, your Bluetooth link involves the
Audio service.
You now have a Bluetooth link between your
computer and headset. Put on your headset and
participate in a NetMeeting, listen to music, or
make a phone call!
If you want to maintain the Audio Gateway link but
disable the sound, you can do so by
disconnecting the Audio link (i.e. the link involving
the Audio service), cf. the section "Disconnecting"
This may be convenient if for example while you
are listening to some music, a colleague enters
your office to talk to you. Now, to turn off the
music while talking to your colleague, disconnect
the Audio link. When you are ready to continue
listening to the music, simply enable the audio as
described above.
Note: You can make settings for automatic
enabling of audio on link establishment and for
sound quality; please see the section “Headset
settings”.

Audio
An audio link makes it possible to transfer sound
from one Bluetooth device to another.
There are basically two ways of using an audio
link: Your computer acts as either a Bluetooth
speaker phone or as a Bluetooth audio device.
The Bluetooth speaker phone feature makes it
possible to use two or more computers like
walkie-talkies. You can use the (built-in or
external) microphone and speaker of your
computer for the conversation. Or you can use an
ordinary (wired) headset. Now, imagine yourself at
the office, transferring a file wirelessly to your
colleague in an office down the hall while
explaining something to him, speaking into the
microphone of your computer:
The Bluetooth audio device feature allows you
to send a sound file, for instance music or a voice
recording, that you want to record on the
computer receiving the file. Both computers act as
Bluetooth audio devices. The computer recording
the sound file makes use of the Microsoft Sound
Recorder or a similar application. (For information
on how to use the recording application, please
refer to the documentation for the application in
question.)
For the sake of completeness, we should mention
a couple of other scenarios involving both the
Bluetooth speaker phone and the Bluetooth audio
device features:
You can send a sound file from one computer
(acting as a Bluetooth audio device) to another
computer (acting as a Bluetooth speaker phone).
This makes it possible for the user who receives
the sound file to listen while receiving the file.
Another example would be to speak into the
microphone of one computer (acting as a
Bluetooth speaker phone) while recording your
speech on another computer (acting as a
Bluetooth audio device).
For information on how to enable each of the two
features, the Bluetooth speaker phone and the
Bluetooth audio device, please see the section
“Enabling/disabling PC speaker”

Bluetooth COM port
General information
What is a Bluetooth COM port?
Physical communications (COM) ports are used
when two serial devices are connected by means
of a cable. A Bluetooth COM port, however, is a
virtual COM port providing a wireless alternative
to a physical one. Bluetooth COM ports make it
possible to connect to almost any Bluetooth
enabled serial application (legacy application) that
would otherwise have been connected using a
cable and a physical COM port.
Some profiles require a Bluetooth COM port
As Bluetooth links are wireless, you need no
physical COM port to connect to a remote device.
However, in connection with some of your local
profiles, you need a Bluetooth COM port. This
provides an address, so to speak, needed by your
legacy application to establish a link to a remote
device.
Note: Most users need not worry about
Bluetooth COM ports at all; the default settings
ensure that you can use all your Local Services
without having to make any Bluetooth COM port
settings.
The following table shows which services are
supported by profiles associated with a Bluetooth
COM port. Also, the table shows which Bluetooth
COM port each profile is associated with by
default:
Service:

New Bluetooth COM ports and interoperability
Some users may want to add one or more
additional Bluetooth COM ports to the computer.
This is necessary if you want to make use of the
Serial Port Profile, for instance to use a serial
application like HyperTerminal to transfer data
between two Bluetooth enabled computers.
The same profile must be associated with the
local Bluetooth COM port and the remote one you
want to connect to. Therefore, before you can
establish a serial Bluetooth COM port link to a
remote device, you must associate the Serial Port
Profile with a Bluetooth COM port, and then add
the Bluetooth COM port to your computer. For link
establishment to be possible, the remote device
must have a Bluetooth COM port with the Serial
Port associated with it, too.
Bluetooth COM port settings
Before you can make use of a Bluetooth COM
port link, you must associate one or more
appropriate profiles with a Bluetooth COM port
and then add the COM port to your Local Services
bar (cf. “Bluetooth COM ports” – “General
information”). These settings are made by means
of the Bluetooth Configuration Tool.
Opening the Bluetooth Configuration Tool:
1. Open the Microsoft Control Panel.
2. Double-click Bluetooth Configuration Tool.
The Bluetooth Configuration Tool dialog box
opens:
In "Bluetooth COM port settings"
we will look into

LAN
To be able to make the most of the LAN service,
some previous knowledge of Microsoft networking
is required. If necessary, please refer to the
Microsoft Windows online help for information on
Microsoft networking.
What is Bluetooth LAN?
The LAN service is used for accessing a Local
Area Network. This is done by establishing a link
between your computer and a Bluetooth enabled
LAN access point device connected to a LAN
server.
What the Bluetooth link does is supply an
alternative to establishing a network link by means
of a NULL modem cable: Instead of connecting
your computer to the LAN server using a NULL
modem cable, you establish a wireless Bluetooth
link to the LAN access point.
Configuring Direct Cable Connection
Both your computer and the LAN access point
have to support the Microsoft Windows
component Direct Cable Connection
*
. For
information on how to install and open the Direct
Cable Connection, please refer to the Microsoft
Windows online help.
Note: To be able to use the Direct Cable
Connection, all operating systems except
Windows NT and 2000 require that the Dial-up
adapter is installed (in Control Panel / Network).
For instructions, see the Windows online help.
First, open the Direct Cable Connection and follow
the onscreen instructions to configure your
connection to the LAN access point.
Note that during the configuration of the Direct
Cable Connection, you will be prompted to specify
whether your computer is to be a guest or the
host. Select guest as you are the one to access
resources on the LAN access point (the host).
Furthermore, when prompted, select Bluetooth COM port 7 for your LAN link. That is the default
COM port for Bluetooth LAN. (It is possible to
change this default setting. For more information,
see “Bluetooth COM ports” – “General
information” and “Bluetooth COM port settings”.)
*
The name of this Windows component varies from one
operating system to another. However, whether called “Direct
Cable Connection”, “Network and Dial-up Connections”, or
something else, the function is basically the same.
42
Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual
Connecting to LAN
Once you have configured the Direct Cable
Connection, every time you want to get on the
LAN, go through the following procedure:
1. Establish a Bluetooth LAN link between your
computer and LAN access point. This can be
done from either device. To establish the link
from the Bluetooth Neighborhood on your
computer:
• Drag the LAN icon from the Local Services
bar to the icon representing the LAN access
point in the list view.
Or:
• First carry out service discovery on the LAN
access point. Then drag the LAN icon from
the Local Services bar to the remote
Bluetooth LAN service.
2. Open the Direct Cable Connection, check your
settings, and click connect.
You are on the LAN!
On Windows 2000, you do not have to go through
step 2 of the procedure described above. You can
set up the Bluetooth Software Suite to do it
automatically. For information on how to set up
your program for this, please see the section “LAN
Access Settings”.

DUN
What is Bluetooth DUN?
Dial-up Networking (DUN) is used for accessing
the Internet.
Whether you use Bluetooth or not, the procedure
is as follows: First, connect a modem to your
computer. Then, to be able to use the modem,
configure your Dial-up Networking application
(more information below). Using the modem, you
can now establish a connection between your
computer and your Internet Service Provider via
the public telephone network. You are on the
Internet!
Bluetooth DUN eliminates the need for a cable for
the connection between your computer and the
modem. In other words, the Bluetooth DUN
service allows you to connect wirelessly to a
Bluetooth enabled modem – by means of which
you can access the Internet.
Configuring Dial-up Networking application
To use DUN, first you have to configure your Dialup Networking application. This is a standard
Windows component. Please refer to the
Windows on-line help for information on how to
open the Dial-up Networking application. Follow
the on-screen instructions.
During the configuration of the Dial-up Networking
application, you will be asked to select which port
to use with the Bluetooth enabled modem. We
recommend that you choose Bluetooth COM port
7, which is the default COM port providing
Bluetooth DUN, LAN, and FAX. (You can choose
an alternative Bluetooth COM port if you like. For
more information on Bluetooth COM ports, see
“Bluetooth COM ports” – “General information”
and “Bluetooth COM port settings”
.)
You will also be asked to type a name for the
computer you want to dial (i.e. the server of the
Internet Service Provider). You can type any
name you want, for instance “My Internet link”.
Connecting computer to Bluetooth enabled
modem
When the Dial-up Networking application has
been configured, you are ready to establish a link
between your computer and the Bluetooth
enabled modem. To do so, first carry out device
discovery to have the Bluetooth Neighborhood list
view display an icon representing the Bluetooth
enabled modem. Then:

• Security Mode can be set to either No
Security or Link level security.
• Discoverability Mode refers to whether or
not other devices will be allowed to discover
your device. In other words, selecting nondiscoverable mode is a way of preventing
remote devices from discovering your device.
If a device has selected link level security, no
remote device can connect to it without
bonding (see “Bonding”
). Furthermore, only
when you have selected link level security can
you use encryption (see below).
• Encryption Mode can be enabled or
disabled. Based on the use of a link key, this
feature can only be enabled when link level
security has been selected (see above).
The default settings are as shown in the examples
(the illustrations) above.
Note: If devices wanting to communicate have
different security settings, the highest level of security required will be used. Imagine, for
instance, that a device requiring no security tries
to establish a link to a device requiring link level

Bonding
Bonding refers to the creation of a link key –
a bond – between two devices. Bonding is used
when a device requires
“Security”
for information on how to do so). When
link level security
a remote device attempts to connect to the device
requiring link level security, the users of both
devices will be prompted for a password. They
must then enter the same password.
The purpose of bonding is for two devices to be
able to identify each other so that no remote
device can connect without knowing the right
password. This may be convenient if for instance
you do not want any other device than your own
Bluetooth enabled phone to be able to connect to
your computer. Other devices trying to connect
will be prompted for the password, which prevents
them from interfering in the connection.
The duration of the bonding can be set to last
beyond the current link; if so, the two devices will
only be prompted for the password the first time
they connect, i.e. when creating the bond.
Both when creating the bond and when making
use of an existing one, both devices must be in
bondable mode. Below you will find information on
how to set both bonding mode and duration.
Settings concerning bonding are done in the
Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties – Bonding
dialog box. To open this:
1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties.

• In Bluetooth Bonding, you can decide
whether or not your device should be able to
bond to other devices.
The default setting is bondable mode. Both to
be able to establish a new bond and to make
use of an existing one, your device has to be
in bondable mode.
