Trouble shoot ing Ca nnot st a r t M y Blue t oot h ? When the program starts, the local device address is 00:00:00:00:00:00. Please check whether you have properly plug-in your Bluetooth USB dongle or Bluetooth CF card and whether the device is powered up. Bluetooth USB dongles can be detected automatically if they are in the IVT known device list (If you are using a device of a new model, please contact IVT so that the model can be added to the list).

Te r m s A B C D E F G U V W X Y Z H I J K L M N O P Q R S T A Authentication Authentication is the process of verifying "who" is at the other end of the link. Authentication is performed for devices. In Bluetooth this is achieved by the authentication procedure based on the stored link key or by pairing (entering a PIN). Authorization Authorization is the process of deciding if device X is allowed to access service Y. This is where the concept of "trusted" exists.
authorization. And there is an authorization devices list for every service, which records the devices that you have authorized. The user can change the authorization status for each device. Bluetooth Connection Bluetooth functions are in the model of Client/Server. One Bluetooth device provides services, and another Bluetooth device uses these Bluetooth services. After connection, a Bluetooth link is set up between two devices, and the link is called a Bluetooth connection.
Bluetooth Device Inquiry To use Bluetooth, the user has to find the remote device first. The searching procedure is called device inquiry. There are two kinds of inquiry procedure, named General Inquiry and Limited Inquiry. General Inquiry will find all the Bluetooth devices in general discoverable mode and limited discoverable mode. Limited Inquiry will find only the devices in limited discoverable mode.
For example, a Bluetooth mobile phone can offer 4 services, which include synchronization, dial-up networking, file transfer and serial port. In BlueSoleil, some services are started automatically and other services need to be started manually before using. The user can also stop a service. Bluetooth Service Browse A remote Bluetooth device can provide one or more Bluetooth services. To use the services that the remote device provides, the user has to find the services first. This is called service browse.
L Limited Discoverable Bluetooth devices have 3 modes: General discoverable, Limited discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. In Limited discoverable mode, a Bluetooth device will respond to a General Inquiry or a Limited Inquiry. LAN Access Point One of entities defined in the LA profiles, the LAN Access Point acts like a router between a Bluetooth piconet and an external network.
R Radio Signal Strength Bluetooth works on 2.4G ISM band. The radio signal is stronger when the remote device is closer or the remote device has a higher radio output. The radio signal is weak when the remote device is distant or the remote device has a weak radio output. The strength of the remote device's radio signal affects the quality of the communication of the two Bluetooth devices. When the radio signal is weak, the Bluetooth data transferring speed is slow.
