Software Specification of Acer Bluetooth Shuttle Acer Bluetooth Shuttle is a high-performance, versatile stack driver solution for the PC that helps end-users seamlessly transition from a “ connected experience” to a “wireless experience”. It enables the Bluetooth wireless technology for the notebook or desktop PC. With Acer Bluetooth Shuttle, you can establish wireless links by your computer or notebook with other devices of Bluetooth ability. What you can do are: § Connect to serial device with legacy applications § Connect to local area networks § Access the Internet with dial up networking § Send and receive fax messages with legacy applications § Transfer files and objects These above operations are deeply involved with a MicrosoftTM Explorer plug-in application called BluetoothTM Plug-in. Its fundamental and essential functions are: § Discover neighboring Bluetooth devices (search for remote Bluetooth devices in the RF range of your computer). § Discover and browse services of discovered Bluetooth devices. § Help to establish links to discovered Bluetooth devices. The appearance of Bluetooth Plug-in looks like a folder on your Windows 98(or 2000) Desktop. All remote devices will be there if your Bluetooth PC card found. It functions like Network Neighborhood in Windows. With another auxiliary tool BluetoothTM Device Configuration, you can customize some setting for your Bluetooth PC card, monitor current status of your Bluetooth system, and manage authentication related setting.

System Overview The Acer Bluetooth Shuttle software consists of a software stack and some application. The core protocol stack is implemented as a subset of version 1.1 of the Bluetooth specification. At the bottom of the software stack resides the hardware driver. It transfers HCI commands or events between PC and PC card. Also, it passes HCI data to L2CAP layer. The main task of L2CAP is to multiplex the data of SDP and RFCOMM. The inclusion of SDP makes it possible to perform service discovery on the Blutetooth devices in RF proximity. RFCOMM protocol provides emulation of RS-232 serial ports, it acting on behalf of legacy applications not directly aware of Bluetooth. Service Discovery Application Serial Port Profile
