One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that the wireless connections allow. However, mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during the time between the automatic updates performed by Bluetooth. To be certain that the displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry is not enabled, force an update of the device list using the technique described in Search for Devices, above. Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devices found because:  Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab, on your device). NOTE: Only available services are displayed in the menus.NOTE: The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active.
13 The unlisted device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Accessibility tab, on the un-listed device). 3.6 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; this computer cannot provide the fax service unless it has a physical fax modem, for example. 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 services require a Bluetooth application on the remote device; services and applications usually have coinciding names; i.e., there is a Bluetooth Fax Service and a Bluetooth Fax Application. The services supported by Bluetooth are:  Bluetooth Serial Port—a wireless connection between two devices. This connection can be used by applications as though a physical serial cable connected 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 mechanism 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. All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services. For example, network gateways may provide only the Network Access service.

284.6.1 Notifications Overview There are three types of notification:  Authentication request, also called a PIN code request—this notification appears automatically in a balloon over the Windows system tray if a Personal Identification Code is required before a connection can proceed. An audio file can also be associated with the notification.  Authorization request, also called a connection request—this type of notification can be visual, audio, or both. It notifies you of attempts to access a Bluetooth service on this computer; the connection will not proceed until you click the balloon that appears over the Windows system tray. If the notification balloon is ignored, the connection request will time out and fail.  Notification only—this type of notification does not effect access in any way; it is solely for information purposes to let you know that a connection has been established. Example Both Authentication and Authorization request notifications are controlled by whether Secure Connection is enabled for an individual service. An example of how notifications might work when a remote device attempts to access a service on this computer, if all notifications are enabled: 1. Authentication: a balloon notification (audio optional) appears to prompt for a PIN code. If the PIN code does not match the code entered on the remote device, the connection will not be allowed. Once the remote device has been authenticated this notification will not appear again, unless the paired relationship is broken and the devices must re-pair. 2. Authorization: a balloon notification appears and/or a sound file provides audio notification that a remote device is attempting to access a Bluetooth service on this computer. Click the balloon to proceed. A dialog box appears that offers the option of letting the connection proceed this time only or to always allow this particular remote device to use the service it is attempting to access. 3. Once a connection has been authorized, an additional visual and/or audio notification may appear (if enabled). This notification is for information only to inform the operator that a connection has been established. After two devices are paired (step 1, above), the authentication notification will no longer appear when a connection is attempted. If “Always allow…” is enabled during the authorization process (step 2, above), the authorization notification will not appear on future connection attempts. Connection notification (step 3, above) only happens if it has been enabled on the Notifications tab of the individual service being accessed. Service Access Notification “Notifications” lets you associate a sound (Windows *.wav file) and/or a visual indication with access attempts by remote devices. A different notification sound can be associated with each local Bluetooth service. Associate a sound with service access From the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services tab: 1. Double-click a service name and then select the Notifications tab. 2. Check the desired options; visual and sound may both be selected for a single event. 3. Choose a sound; click the Browse button and navigate to the sound file (*.wav) to be used for notification.

The eighth entry contains the Link Manager Protocol sub-version number information, if appropriate. 6.7 FIND INFORMATION ABOUT THE BLUETOOTH HARDWARE ATTACHED TO MY COMPUTER In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, select the Hardware tab. 6.8 TEST A NETWORK ACCESS CONNECTION If the client is hardwired to the LAN, unplug the hardwired connection to ensure that the test checks the wireless connection rather than the hardwired connection. 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. 6.9 UNKNOWN PORT MESSAGE WHEN USING 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. 6.10 BLUETOOTH HEADSET DOESN’T ALWAYS FUNCTION UNDER WIN 98 Windows 98 cannot convert audio files with the extension m3u (e.g., myfile.m3u) into the Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) audio format used by Bluetooth headsets; this is a limitation of Windows 98. Other versions of Windows (2000, ME and XP) can translate m3u audio files into the PCM format. Possible solutions are:  Upgrade to a newer version of Windows  Use an m3u-to-mp3 conversion utility to convert the file(s) into a format that is supported by Windows 98. (Conversion utilities are available as freeware or shareware on the Internet.)
