Bluetooth Technology
Bluetooth is a short range wireless communication technology. It allows
wireless connections between Bluetooth devices such as cellular phones,
personal digital assistants (PDA), desktop and notebooks computers, mouse,
keyboards, printers, and home appliances. Bluetooth refers to a worldwide
standard designed to operate in the internationally recognized ISM frequency
band (2.4 GHz – 2.48 GHz). Within the ISM band, Bluetooth transmissions
hop between 79 separate frequencies 1,600 times every second. Bluetooth
communication range is about 10 meters for class II or 100 meters for class I.
About the Compact Bluetooth USB Adapter
The Compact Bluetooth USB Adapter is the perfect wireless solution for
quick and easy access to Bluetooth-enabled devices. It is a class II low power
device and is bundled with Bluetooth Software which allows you to connect
to several Bluetooth devices at once. The wireless transmission range of the
Compact Bluetooth USB Adapter is up to 10 meters. A PC configured as the
Bluetooth server can support up to 7 Bluetooth client devices with IP
addresses being automatically assigned upon a successful connection. The
Bluetooth Software also provides Internet sharing and security access
between the server and clients.

Create a Connection
From the Bluetooth Icon in the System Tray
In the System tray, right-click the Bluetooth icon and select Quick Connect.
Then select the desired Bluetooth service.
If this computer had previously created a connect ion to the desired service,
the options on the shortcut menu are:
The name(s) of any device(s) with which prior connections to this
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 pr ovid e t he desired service, sel ec t a de vi ce fr om the li s t, a n d
then click Connect.
If this computer has never created a connection to this service, the only
option on the shortcut menu is “Find Devices….” Select this option to search
for devices that potentially provide the desir ed service, select a device from
the list, and then click Connect.
Right click on My Bluetooth Places and select explore. Double-click
on Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right click on the desired Bluetooth
device and then click Connect.
Find 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, double-click My Bluetooth Places, click
Bluetooth from the menu bar and then select search for devices.
Periodic Search for Devices
Bluetooth can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular
basis (Bluetooth Configuration Panel Æ Discovery tab).
One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that the wireless
connections allow. However, mobility means that devices may move out of
range during the time between the automatic updates performed by
Bluetooth. To be certain that the list of devices is current, force an update of
the device list using the method described in Find Bluetooth Devices section
above.
Some devices within range may not show up in the list of devices found
because:
14
15
Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of
devices (Bluetooth Configuration Panel Æ Discovery tab, on your
device).
The device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth
Configuration Panel Æ Accessibility tab).
Find 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. For example; this computer cannot
provide the fax service unless it has a physical fax modem.
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 setup to
require security measures before allowing a remote Bluetooth device to
connect.
Bluetooth Serial Port -- a wireless connection between two devices.
This connection can be used by applications as though a physical serial
cable is connecting 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 gateway 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.
Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services. For
example, network gateways may provide only the Network Access service.
Bluetooth services require a Bluetooth application on the remote device;
services and applications usually have similar names; e.g., there is a
Bluetooth Fax Service and a Bluetooth Fax Application.
The services supported by Bluetooth are:
