ABOUT BLUETOOH 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.
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. To determine the services provided by a Bluetooth device: 1. On the client, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth 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. 3.
in their lower-right corner. Services Icons for services that are not available have a red "X" may be unavailable because they are in use or because the necessary hardware (such as a modem for Dial-up Networking) is not installed.
BASIC OPERATION Precaution: For best performance, we recommend that the Bluetooth devices you are setting for transferring files should be within a range of 10 meters of each other. Before you start communicating with a Bluetooth device, you need to: 1. Search Bluetooth devices in the vicinity. 2. Pair your PC with the device – you do this by adding the device to a list of paired devices in your PC. Search for Bluetooth Devices In Windows 2000 1.
2. The Bluetooth Passkey Request screen will be present. Enter the Passkey to authenticate device identity and encrypt data. 3. Meanwhile, the remote device that is requested for connection will prompt the following message for you to enter the passkey. Click the prompted message to enter the passkey. 4. Enter a passkey (up to 16 digits) for both your PC and for the other device.
4. Double-click Public Folder to expand that folder. If there are additional folders inside the expanded folder then those additional folders may have to be expanded.
CONFIGURATION General You may determine the device properties and basic system security settings on the General tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel. Identity Computer Name Computer type enter a unique name to identify this computer to other Bluetooth devices in the vicinity; this field cannot be left blank. select either Desktop or Laptop from the drop-down menu to help identify this computer to other Bluetooth devices in the vicinity.
From the Allow drop-down-menu, you may select to control the types of devices that are allowed to connect to this computer. No devices to connect no remote devices are permitted to initiate a connection with this computer. However, this computer can still initiate connections (as a client) with remote Bluetooth devices. all remote devices are permitted to connect to this computer.
Discovery In the Discovery tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, you can determine: 1. whether your computer looks for other Bluetooth devices automatically, 2. how often it looks and, 3. what type of devices it looks for. Perform a periodic Search for Devices When "Look for other Bluetooth devices" is selected, BTW automatically searches for devices every “X” minutes. X is an integer from 1 to 60. To change the time between auto inquiries, highlight the existing time and enter the new time.
The settings on the Information Exchange tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel configure: File Transfer My Shared Directory: the directory configured in this section is the highest-level directory to which a remote Bluetooth computer has access. This directory and its sub directories are displayed in the remote device's My Bluetooth Places. Click the Browse button and navigate to the directory that will be used as My Shared Directory.
Local Services The settings on the Local Services tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel determine the configuration of the services provided by your computer to remote devices. Each service can be configured individually for security, name, and other settings. The Local Services tab also includes options to add and delete user-defined serial services.
Client Application Network Access The Network Access service permits a Bluetooth client to use a Local Area Network connection that is physically attached to another Bluetooth device (the server). Possible Network Access servers include: 1. Bluetooth-enabled computers that have a hardwired Ethernet connection. 2. Stand-alone Bluetooth Network Access Points. The Bluetooth server must be specifically configured to provide the Network Access service.
Hardware The Hardware tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel provides basic information about the Bluetooth hardware installed on this computer and access to the Advanced Settings dialog box. Devices: Name Type name of the device, e.g., My Bluetooth Device type of the device, e.g., USB. Device Properties: the name of the company that manufactured the device selected in the Manufacturer Devices section of this dialog box. Firmware Revision the manufacturer's firmware version number.

Click the No button to save the changes—the changes will be applied the next time the Bluetooth device is reset or restarted.
Version Info The Version Info tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel displays the name and version number of the software components of BTW. There are no options to configure on this tab.
Notifications The Notifications tab of the Bluetooth Configuration Panel lets you associate a sound (Windows *.wav file) with specific Bluetooth events. Sounds can be associated on an individual basis with several events, including: 1. When a PIN code is required 2. When a remote device attempts to access: Files on this computer A Bluetooth port The Dial-up network service The LAN Access service The Fax service. 3. When a remote device attempts to send: Synchronization information.
TROUBLESHOOTING CANNOT CONNECT TO A PAIRED DEVICE: Paired devices are always displayed in My Bluetooth Places, even if the remote device is out of range or not powered up. Verify that the remote member of the pair is within radio range and powered up and then attempt the connection again. CANNOT DISCOVER SERVICES ON AN UN-PAIRED REMOTE DEVICE: The remote device may not be powered up or may be out of range. Verify that the remote device is powered up.
If the server has access to the Internet, open a browser on the client and connect to the World Wide Web. You may also Ping the server from the DOS prompt. WHY DO I GET AN UNKNOWN PORT MESSAGE WHEN I ATTEMPT TO USE A BLUETOOTH SERIAL PORT? The “Unknown Port” error message usually means an attempt was made to connect a port that was in use. Additional Bluetooth Serial Ports can be added if they are required.
