the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into devices that use the Pocket PC operating system. It provides Pocket PCs with the means to: • Locate other Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity (inquiry) • Discover the services that those devices offer (discovery) • Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services • Enable/disable individual services • Security features, on a service-by-service basis, including: Authentication Authorization Encryption. This User’s Guide is divided into four major sections: • Introduction • Configuring BTW-CE—see the sections on the Bluetooth Control Panel • Using BTW-CE—see the sections on the Bluetooth Manager • Using Remote Device Services—an overview of how to use services provided by remote Bluetooth devices. NOTE: If your Pocket PC uses external (not built-in) Bluetooth hardware, see section 1.3.2 for installation assistance. 1.1 BLUETOOTH ICON The Bluetooth icon in the lower-right corner of the Today screen provides quick access to the Bluetooth Control Panel. It also provides visual feedback about whether Bluetooth is “on” or “off”: • • 1.2 When BTW-CE is active (“on”) the Bluetooth icon is blue . If BTW-CE is disabled (“off”) the icon appears grayed with a red X in the lower right corner . APPLY POWER TO THE BLUETOOTH HARDWARE If the Bluetooth hardware is an integral part of the device (built-in), the first screen of the Bluetooth Control Panel has ON/OFF buttons to apply/remove power to the hardware (Figure 4). When the Bluetooth hardware is an expansion device, power is applied/removed by inserting/removing the card (Figure 5). Bluetooth Compact Flash Card Introduction 1.3 INSTALLATION 1.3.1 Integrated (Built-in) Bluetooth Hardware BTW-CE is factory-installed in Flash memory on your device; no installation is required. 1.3.2 External (Add-on) Bluetooth Hardware If a prior version of BTW-CE is installed on the handheld computer it must be uninstalled before proceeding.

Figure 1: ActiveSync's Tools > Add/Remove Programs... dialog box BTW-CE User’s Guide Control Panel Bluetooth Control Panel: Configuring BTW-CE BTW-CE provides a Control Panel to adjust Bluetooth settings. To access the Control Panel, in the lower-right corner of the Today screen, tap the Bluetooth icon . BTW-CE can have multiple saved configurations. Individual configuration sets are saved in profiles, which can be quickly loaded to meet the appropriate situation. See Section 2.1.1 for more information about profiles. The Control Panel has seven tabs. All tabs are not visible on the screen at the same time; use the arrows (Figure 2) to the right of the tab names to scroll back-and-forth and expose the different tabs. Figure 2: Control Panel tabs scroll arrows The Control Panel’s tabs are (see Figure 3): • General User profile selection Bluetooth status (ON/OFF) indicator Hardware power control (ON/OFF). • Accessibility Set the device name The device’s Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) Determine which remote devices are allowed to connect Determine whether remote devices can “see” this Pocket PC. • Service tabs—BTW-CE can provide four services. They are: File Transfer—set the highest-level directory on this Pocket PC that remote devices will be able to access. Information Exchange—Set the default business card (Pocket Outlook contact entry) Serial Port—Bluetooth serial port information Dial-up Networking—configure the COM port, baud rate and flow control. • About—there are no configurable options on this tab. Software version information Copyright information Website and Technical Support links. Each of these tabs is explained in detail in the remainder of this section. BTW-CE User’s Guide Control Panel Figure 3: Configuration overview Bluetooth Control Panel Tap the Bluetooth icon on the Today page (Default tab) Select: Profile Set: Bluetooth ON/OFF Display: Status ON/OFF General Set: Device name Devices with access Discoverability Display: BDA Profile page Profile functions: New Rename Delete Accessibility Enable: This Service Authorization Authentication Encryption My shared folder Set: File Transfer Enable: This Service Authorization Authentication Encryption Set & Display: My bus. card Browse Dialog Locate & Set Directory or Contact Information Exchange Enable: This Service Authorization Authentication Encryption Display: Inbound COM port Outbound COM port Serial Port Enable: This Service Authorization Authentication Encryption COM port Set: Baud rate Flow control Dial-up Networking Display: Software Version Data About BTW-CE User’s Guide 2.1 Control Panel GENERAL TAB There are two options on this screen: • Current Profile: to change the active profile, tap the down-arrow in the “Current profile:” field and select the new profile from the drop-down list. The current profile will be saved, and the settings from the selected profile will be loaded. To add, delete, or rename a profile, tap (see Section 2.1.1). • Bluetooth Status: Integrated Bluetooth hardware (see Figure 4) External Bluetooth hardware (CompactFlash or PC expansion card) (see Figure 5 on the next page). When Bluetooth is OFF, no connections, incoming or outgoing, are possible. When Bluetooth is ON, Bluetooth is always “up” and battery drain is significantly greater than when Bluetooth is disabled. To conserve battery power, do not enable Bluetooth when it is not being used. Figure 4: Control Panel, General tab, integrated hardware BTW-CE User’s Guide Control Panel Figure 5: Control Panel, General tab, external hardware BTW-CE User’s Guide 2.1.1 Control Panel Profiles Profiles are accessed and managed from the Control Panel, General Tab. They allow: • Different users to quickly re-configure a Pocket PC to their personal preferences. For example, if Joe and Mary both use the same Pocket PC, but each uses it for a different purpose, selecting a pre-configured profile will alter the settings to those of the appropriate user. • A single user to quickly re-configure a Pocket PC for a different environment. If Joe uses his device primarily at the office, but also uses it when traveling, he can easily switch to a pre-configured profile, which has more secure settings for hotel, airport and similar “public” environments. All Bluetooth settings are saved in the active profile. A profile named “Office,” for example, may include Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption settings, and connection shortcuts to specific services on work-related Bluetooth devices. A profile named “Public” on the same device may only allow the owner’s laptop computer to connect to the Pocket PC. When the “Public” profile is selected, only the Bluetooth settings related to that profile are active, the “Office” profile settings have no affect. When the Pocket PC is turned off, BTW-CE saves the last-used profile and reloads that profile the next time the device is turned on. The Profile options (available from the Control Panel, General Tab) are: • A list of existing profiles—when BTW-CE is started for the first time the only profile listed will be “Default.” To enable a profile, tap it. • accesses a screen from which you can: Add a profile Rename a profile Delete a profile. 2.1.1.1 Create A New Profile 1. From the Today screen, tap the Bluetooth icon 2. From the General tab, tap . 3. From the Add/Delete Profiles screen: a) Tap the New button b) Enter a descriptive name for the new profile, for example, “Office.” c) Select an existing profile on which to base the new profile. 4. Tap the OK button. The new profile does NOT automatically become the active profile; to activate the new profile, select it from the “Current Profile” field on the General Tab. 2.1.1.2 Rename or Delete a Profile 1. From the Today screen, tap the Bluetooth icon 2. From the Bluetooth Control Panel, General tab, tap . 3. From the Add/Delete Profiles screen: a) Tap a profile name, then the Rename button and enter the new name. Or b) Tap a profile name, then the Delete button. BTW-CE User’s Guide Control Panel 2.1.1.3 Save Configuration Settings In A Profile When you make changes to the Pocket PC’s configuration, those changes are automatically saved when you select a different profile, turn Bluetooth off, or shut down the Pocket PC. To save a specific configuration: 1. Select (or create and then select, see Section 2.1.1.1) the desired profile (for example “Travel”) from the Current Profile field on the General Tab. 2. Setup the Pocket PC (see Section 2) so that it behaves in the desired manner. 3. Tap OK 4. Close the Control Panel; the changes are saved automatically. To use the Travel profile and its associated configuration in the future, from the Control Panel, General Tab, select “Travel” from Current Profile drop-down list. To avoid saving unwanted changes to a regularly used profile, create a new profile that is based on the profile currently in use (see Section 2.1.1.1), select the new profile, and then make the changes while the new profile is active. NOTE: If Bluetooth is not ON, changes will not be saved. The error box to the right appears unless Don’t show this message again has been selected. BTW-CE User’s Guide 2.2 Control Panel ACCESSIBILITY TAB Figure 6: Control Panel, Accessibility tab All information on this tab is saved with the active profile, including the device name. The options on the Accessibility tab are: • Device Identification: Name—the name of this device, as displayed to remote devices when the associated profile is active. To change the device name associated with this profile, highlight the name and enter the new name. Address—the Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) of this device. This information is permanently associated with the Bluetooth hardware during the manufacturing process and cannot be changed. • Accessibility: Allow other devices to connect—when this option is enabled, other devices are permitted to connect to this device. Two mutually exclusive sub-options provide additional refinement. They are: All devices—select this option to allow all devices to connect. Paired devices only—select this option to allow only devices that have a paired relationship (see Section 3.2.2.1) with this device to connect. Other devices can discover me—when this option is enabled, other Bluetooth devices can see and report this device. Even though remote devices cannot discover this device unless this option is checked, if a remote device has this device’s Bluetooth Device Address, that device may still be able to connect to this device (see Note below). NOTE: The ability of remote devices to connect is also subject to security restrictions and whether Bluetooth is enabled on this device. 10 BTW-CE User’s Guide 2.3 Control Panel BTW-CE SERVICE TABS The functions that a Pocket PC can provide to other devices are called “Services.” The services that this Pocket PC is capable of providing are: • File Transfer—file-related operations such as get a file/use a file/delete a file, etc. • Information Exchange—Send the default business card (Pocket Outlook contact) on request. • Serial Port—Bluetooth serial port operations. Bluetooth serial ports are used as a replacement for a physical cable between devices. • Dial-up Networking—provide access, via a phone line or other access system, to a remote computer network such as an Internet service. Each of these tabs is explained in detail in the remainder of this section. 11 BTW-CE User’s Guide 2.3.1 Control Panel Common Options All of the services have some common settings. Even though the options are the same, in each case they are specific to the service being configured on the individual tabs. The common options are listed under the About this service heading on each individual service tab. They are: • Enable service: check this option to have the service start when BTW-CE initializes. When this option is enabled the service is enabled and “listening” for connection attempts when Bluetooth is enabled. • Authorization required: check this option to require that each attempt to establish a connection be individually authorized. When Authorization is enabled and a remote device attempts to connect to this service, BTW-CE asks if the connection should be permitted (see also Section 3.2.2.2, Permissions). • Authentication (PIN) required: check this option to require a Personal Identification Number (PIN code, also called a password or passkey) or a Link Key from the remote device before allowing the connection. When this option is enabled and a remote device attempts to establish a connection, the Bluetooth Passkey screen (Figure 7) appears. Enter the passkey to allow the connection to proceed, or tap the OK button to deny permission for the connection. If the notification is ignored, the connection attempt will time out (fail). • Encryption required: check this option to require that all the data exchanged between this device and the remote Bluetooth device be encrypted. Encryption depends on the key that is used for Authentication; if Authentication is not enabled, Encryption will not be available. Only the data exchanged by the Bluetooth devices is encrypted. The individual services, and their unique options, are explained in the remainder of this section. Figure 7: Bluetooth Passkey screen 12 BTW-CE User’s Guide 2.3.2 Control Panel File Transfer Tab Figure 8: Control Panel, File Transfer tab The options on this tab only affect incoming File Transfer connections.

Figure 17: Active Connections screen, signal strength indicator 24 BTW-CE User’s Guide 3.2 Bluetooth Manager MENUS There are three menus on the bottom of the Bluetooth Manager. They are: • New • Security • View. 3.2.1 New The New menu has two options. They are: • Connection shortcut… • Temporary connection…. When either of these options is selected the Bluetooth Connection Wizard walks you through the process of creating the shortcut or temporary connection. The “Select a device:” screen on the wizard asks you to select a device that offers the service you want to use. Located at the bottom of this wizard screen (Figure 18) are: • A drop-down menu with two options: Preferred—when this option is selected the wizard attempts to display only those devices that offer the desired service. All devices—select this option to have the wizard display all devices in the vicinity, without regard to the type of service(s) they offer. • The View menu, which has two options: Icons—displays the found devices as large icons List—displays the found devices in a list. • An icon—the icon that is displayed is determined by what the wizard is doing: The wizard is searching for devices. When the desired device appears on the screen, tap the device to select it and stop the search. To stop an in-process search, tap . • The wizard has completed its search for devices. Tap to search again or refresh the screen. Cancel button—tap this button to close the “Select a device:” screen and return to the previous screen without changing the selected device. Figure 18: Bottom of the Select a device wizard screen (composite overview) 25 BTW-CE User’s Guide Bluetooth Manager 3.2.1.1 Connection shortcut… The “Connection shortcut…” menu option creates a shortcut to one or more services on a remote device, but does not establish a connection. A shortcut to each selected service appears on the My Shortcuts tab of the Bluetooth Manager. To use the connection, double-tap the shortcut, or tap-and-hold and select Connect from the popup menu. To create a new shortcut: 1. From the Bluetooth Manager’s New menu, select Connection Shortcut… (or tap ) to start the Bluetooth Connection Wizard: 2. On the first wizard screen, choose either: a) “Show all services, let me pick later.” This is the default option; when it is selected BTW-CE will display all devices in the vicinity on a future wizard screen—after a device is chosen from that list, all services provided by that device will be displayed, and you will be able to pick one or more services for which shortcuts will be created. Or b) Tap a specific type of service. When a specific type of service is selected, BTW-CE displays only those devices that potentially offer that service. When the wizard is complete, only the chosen service on the chosen device will have a shortcut placed on the My Shortcuts screen. 3. Tap the Next button to display the second wizard screen, and: a) Tap to display the “Select a device:” screen. Tap a device name: BTW-CE returns to the second wizard screen and populates the “Select a device:” field with the chosen device. b) Tap the Secure Connection option to enable Authentication and Encryption, if desired. When this option is enabled, the Pass Key Needed screen (similar to the screen in Figure 7) appears. Enter the correct code in the Passkey field and tap the Next button. A dialog box appears while pairing takes place and the services offered by the device are discovered, and then the wizard automatically precedes to the last screen. Even when this option is NOT enabled, if Authentication is enabled on the remote device, a PIN code will be required the first time a connection is attempted. 4. Tap the Next button to display the last screen, tap the selection box of each service for which a shortcut should be created, and then tap the Finish button. A shortcut for each selected service is placed on the My Shortcuts screen and given a default name. If a specific service was chosen in step 1b, the last screen is different; it does not allow you to select a service other than the one specified in step 1b. The displayed screen (Figure 19) instead provides additional information about the selected service, including: 1. The name of the device that will provide the service. 2. The name of the service to be provided. 3. A “Connection name:” field, which contains the default name for this shortcut; the shortcut name can be changed before proceeding. To change the name, highlight it, enter the new name, and then tap the Finish button. 26 BTW-CE User’s Guide Bluetooth Manager Figure 19: Connection Wizard, specific service chosen, last screen 27 BTW-CE User’s Guide Bluetooth Manager 3.2.1.2 Temporary connection… A temporary connection may be useful in some situations, for example when accessing a public printer while traveling. Temporary Connection, in this context, means that a permanent shortcut is not placed on the My Shortcuts screen. The connection is, however, associated with the QuickConnect icon on the My Shortcuts screen. The QuickConnect icon will always establish a connection to the most recently used temporary connection. To Create a Temporary Connection, from the Bluetooth Manager’s New menu, select “Temporary Connection….” The connection wizard will walk you through the process of establishing the new connection; the process is the same as that for creating a new connection shortcut (see Section 3.2.1.1) with the following exceptions: • Multiple connections cannot be created. • No permanent shortcut is placed on the My Shortcuts screen. If the QuickConnect shortcut is deleted, the next time a temporary connection is created the QuickConnect shortcut will be re-created. If the QuickConnect shortcut is renamed and then deleted, the next time a temporary connection is created the shortcut will be re-created with its default name (QuickConnect). 28 BTW-CE User’s Guide 3.2.2 Bluetooth Manager Security The Security menu has two options. They are: • Trusted devices • Permissions. 3.2.2.1 Trusted devices Trusted Devices are those devices that have been “paired” with this Pocket PC. When two devices have been paired they share, and exchange prior to each connection, an internally-generated security key. This security key, called a Link Key, is based on a unique Bluetooth Device Address, a random number, and a user-defined password. To pair with another device: 1. From the Bluetooth Manager, Security menu, select “Trusted devices…” 2. On the Trusted devices screen, tap New 3. On the Device Pairing screen: a) Tap b) Tap a device on the “Select a Bluetooth device” screen to return to the prior screen and populate the “Device:” field. c) Enter the correct password in the “Passkey:” field 4. Tap OK. To Break (Remove) a Paired Relationship 1. From the Bluetooth Manager, Security menu, select “Trusted devices…” 2. Tap a device name to select it 3. Tap the Delete button, and then tap Yes in the confirmation dialog. 29 BTW-CE User’s Guide Bluetooth Manager 3.2.2.2 Permissions To understand Permissions you must understand Authorization. Authorization is, in essence, a way of saying Yes or No; “May I use this service?” “Yes (or No)” is the answer. When Authorization is enabled for a service (see Section 2.3.1) and a remote device attempts to access that service, the Authorization Requested screen appears (Figure 20); you must tap the Accept or the Deny button to proceed. Even if the connection times out (fails), you must still tap a button to clear the screen and proceed with normal activity. Figure 20: Authorization Requested When a remote device is paired (see Trusted Devices, Section 3.2.2.1) with this Pocket PC, Authorization can be handled automatically, on a service-by-service basis. Permissions lets you specify which of the services provided by this Pocket PC that a specific paired device is automatically authorized to use, provided the service being authorized has Authorization enabled. NOTE: If a service does not have Authorization enabled, setting permissions for a paired device that uses that service will have no effect. However, the Permissions settings are saved in the current profile; if Authorization is enabled for this service in the future, Permissions will take effect. By default, when a device pairs with this Pocket PC, that device is authorized to use all of the Pocket PC’s services. To modify Permissions for a Paired Device: From the Bluetooth Manager, Security menu, select Permissions: 1. Tap a device name to select it (only paired devices appear in the list) 2. Select the services that the device is automatically permitted to use by selecting or clearing the boxes in front of the service names. 3. Tap OK to return to the My Shortcuts screen. Services for which Permissions have been granted will bypass the Authorization Requested screen; services for which Permissions have NOT been granted will still require you to press the Accept or Deny button on the Authorization Requested screen before allowing the connection to proceed. NOTE: Permissions do not affect devices that are not paired with the Pocket PC. 30 BTW-CE User’s Guide Bluetooth Manager 3.2.3 View The View menu has two options. They are: • Icons—select this option to view the on-screen shortcuts as large icons • List—select this option to view the on-screen shortcut in list format. 3.3 ICONS There are two icon shortcuts on the bottom the Bluetooth Manager screen. They are: • • New connection shortcut Business Card Exchange 3.3.1 New Connection Shortcut This icon is a shortcut to the New > Connection shortcut… menu item.
