If more than one Bluetooth dongles (excluding the dongle of other brand) are plugged to one computer, a prompt will appear indicating only one of them can be active and you will be guided to this tab. Here you can disable the unwanted dongle and specify a preferred Bluetooth dongle on your computer.
As this Bluetooth dongle supports 8 to 128-bit encryption, the length of the PIN code can vary between 1 and 16 alphanumeric characters. Hence, the length is restricted by the device you want to connect to. For example, some Bluetooth devices only support a PIN code of 1 to 4 characters.
6. Using Bluetooth Applications This chapter describes how to use the Bluetooth services on other Bluetooth devices with your Bluetooth-enabled computer. The services on remote Bluetooth devices are referred to as Client Applications in the Bluetooth Configuration panel. Some client applications are not required to configure unless you want to change the application name or the security settings while some is provided with detailed settings.
Note: The secure connection depends on the Bluetooth printer you want to connect to. If the Bluetooth printer’s paring function is in-activated, you should always disable the secure connection service. Install a Bluetooth Printer Option One: 1. Go to My Bluetooth Places > View devices in range and right-click a Bluetooth printer, select Add Printer from the shortcut menu and follow the on-screen instructions. 2. Select the printer manufacturer and model at the prompt.
PNG JPG Image Format Conversion Some devices, particularly battery-powered devices such as phones and cameras, may only be able to accept images in one format and at a single fixed resolution. In that case, the image is converted to the required format and resolution before it is transferred to the remote device. Sending Images to Remote Imaging Devices Imaging application connections are created automatically on an as-needed basis.
Note: Battery-powered remote devices, such as a cell phones or cameras, may require that Bluetooth be specifically enabled before they can accept an image; see the battery-powered device’s documentation for more information. Voice Gateway The Voice Audio Gateway application allows a remote Bluetooth device to use this computer’s microphone and speakers as the remote device’s audio input and output devices.

Otherwise, the PIM transfer fails.
Send My Business Card: Specifies how your business card is handled when it is requested by a remote device. Received Business Cards: Specifies where to store received business cards. Note: The selected Received Business Cards option is influenced by the local PIM Item Transfere settings. For example, if local setting is configured to Do Not Accept business cards, the sending request from remote Bluetooth device fails.
Email attachments: The only option is to include or not to include attachments with email that is sent or received on the computer using this service. To Send Notes, Emails and Calender Entries To send note, email or calender, just select one or moer target items and then, from the File menu of the PIM (e.g., Outlook), select Send to Bluetooth. You can also drag-and-drop a supported item directly from your PIM to the PIM Item Transfer service icon of a remote device.
To close a dial-up networking connection, just go to My Bluetooth Places, right-click the service name and select Disconnect. Network Access The Bluetooth Network Access application allows this computer to join a Personal Area Networking (PAN) or Local Area Network (LAN). The type of network connection that is available is determined by the configuration of the remote Bluetooth device. Joining a Personal Area Networking (PAN) PAN provides ad hoc network between Bluetooth devices.
We will use the following example to describe the setup procedures: Example: BT Client A is physically conncted to the Internet/LAN via a Ethernet network adapter. It’s Bluetooth-enabled and connect to BT Client B over Bluetooth connection. BT Client B will use BT Client A as the intermediary to connect to the Internet/LAN. BT Client A (The computer connected to the Internet/LAN) 1. Go to Bluetooth Configuration panel > Local Services > Network Access > Properties.. 2.

6. You will return to the Network Connections window and find a hand appended to the network connection icon. To view the IP address of your Bluetooth network adapter (e.g., Local Area Connection 2), type ipconfig at a command prompt, and then press ENTER. You should get an output that is similar to the following: Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix .: test Autoconfiguration IP Address . : 10.0.128.24 Subnet Mask . . . . . Default Gateway . . . . . . : 255.255.0.
2. On the remote Bluetooth device (i.e. Client A in our example) respond to the Bluetooth Service Authorization message to allow network access. 3. Wait a moment for the connection to be made. The Bluetooth network adapter will be automatically assigned an IP address. To view the assignment, type ipconfig at a command prompt, and then press ENTER.
To establish a virtual serial port connection between this computer and another Bluetooth device: 1. Open My Bluetooth Places and discorver the Serial Port service on the destination Bluetooth device. 2. Double-click the Serial Port shortcut to make the connection. 3. If secure option is enabled, the operator of the other Bluetooth device must be available to respond to any authorization requests. 4. You will be prompted of the COM port name that is associated with the connection.
7. Providing Local Service Local services are the services that your Bluetooth-enabled computer provides to other Bluetooth devices. Your computer can offer one or more services, which can be configured via the Local Services tab in the Bluetooth Configuration panel. Common Configuration Settings These properties can be set individually for each Bluetooth service: Service Name - the default name of each service can be changed.
Printer The Printer service allows other Bluetooth devices to use a printer that is physically connected to your computer. To provide this service, the local printer should be physically connected to this computer by a USB or parallel cable, is set as the default printer and is turned on. Note if the secure connection property for the printer has been set on either computer, the operators of both computers must be available to allow access and to supply the Bluetooth security code when requested.
Calendar items Email messages Notes Whether an individual item is accepted and where it is stored, after it is accepted, is configured in the PIM Item Transfer service. If that service is not configured to store a particular data type in Outlook, then that data type cannot be synchronized. Microsoft Outlook permits duplicate entries, so all duplicates may not be exchanged in the synchronization process. Note: Only Outlook’s default contacts folder is synchronized.
To configure your local file transfer service, go to Bluetooth Configuration > Local Services > File Transfer. Here you can specify your defalut exchange folder location and remote user access permissions. Note: If you set the Secure Connection property of the File Transfer service of this computer, you must be available to respond to the Bluetooth Security Code Request sent by the other device when the other device initially attempts to connect to this computer. Otherwise, the pairing process fails.
Dial-Up Networking The Dial-Up Networking service allows other Bluetooth devices to use this computer’s modem to access the Internet or a remote network. To provide this service, your computer must be physically connected to a modem offering fax function. Network Access The Network Access service allows other Bluetooth devices to: Create a personal area network (PAN) with this computer.
Bluetooth Serial Port The Bluetooth Serial Port service allows other Bluetooth devices to establish a wireless serial connection with this computer. In addition to the configuration options common to all Bluetooth services, this service also has setting for specifying a COM port. Note: Unless you have a specific reason to do so, DO NOT CHANGE the default COM port setting.
