About BlueSoleil
BlueSoleil is Windows-based software from IVT that allows your Bluetooth®
enabled desktop or notebook computer to wirelessly connect to other
Bluetooth enabled devices. BlueSoleil allows MS Windows users to wirelessly
access a wide variety of Bluetooth enabled digital devices, such as cameras,
mobile phones, headsets, printers, and GPS receivers. You can also form
networks and exchange data with other Bluetooth enabled computers or
PDAs.
In order to connect and share services via Bluetooth wireless technology, two
devices must support the same Bluetooth Profile(s) as well as opposite device
roles (i.e., one must be the server, and the other must be the client). Bluetooth
enabled devices often support multiple profiles, and if involved in multiple
connections, can perform different device roles simultaneously.
BlueSoleil supports the following Bluetooth functions (Profiles) in the following
device roles:
Bluetooth Functions (Profiles) Client Server
AV Headphone* V V
Basic Image Profile V V
Dial-Up Networking V
Fax V
File Transfer V V

Troubleshooting
Cannot start My
Bluetooth
?
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). Some Bluetooth CF card device cannot be detected
automatically. Users need to configure the parameters in the menu Tools |
Bluetooth Device... to enable the device.
How can I find my
Bluetooth
device information?
On the center ball, my device, right click and select Properties... on the popup
menu. In the My Bluetooth Device dialog box, there are device names,
device addresses, device manufacturers, device HCI and LMP (Link Manager
Protocol) versions and editions.
Can't find the remote device you want?
First, please check whether the remote device is in discoverable mode. If the
remote device is set to non-discoverable, other devices cannot find it. Second,
please check whether the remote device is within the radio range. Bluetooth
devices have 3 classes. Class 1 devices are high power devices. Their
transmission range are 50-100 meters. Class 2 and class 3 devices are low
power devices. Their transmission range are 10-20 meters. If you still cannot
find the remote device, you can (1) find the device from the history list, so that
71
you can add it directly to the Main Window. Do this via Tools | Add Device
from History.... (2) If the device is not in the history list, you can also add a
new device directly by inputting the remote device address. Do this via Tools |
Add New Device....
Can't find the remote device's services?
First, please verify that whether the remote device is in connectable mode. If
the remote device is set to non-connectable, other devices cannot connect
to it.
Second, please verify whether the remote device is within the radio range.
Third, please check whether the remote device has connections already.
Currently, some Bluetooth devices do not support scatter net. That is, the
device has limitations in supporting connection among multi-devices at the
same time. It is recommended that users try to connect one to one if the
connection cannot be set up.
Fourth, please verify whether both sides have input the right Bluetooth
passkey if any side is at security level High. The Bluetooth passkey must be
the same at both sides. If both sides have set Fixed Passkey (the default
passkey) and the passkeys are different, the connection cannot be set up
because of the authentication failure.

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. Trusted
devices (authenticated and indicated as "trusted"), are allowed to access
services. Mistrusted or unknown devices may require authorization based on
user interaction before access to services is granted.
B
Bluetooth Bluetooth is an open specification for a cutting-edge technology
that enables short-range wireless connections between desktop and laptop
computers, personal digital assistants, cellular phones, printers, scanners,
digital cameras and even home appliances on a globally available band
(2.4GHz) for worldwide compatibility. In a nutshell, Bluetooth unplugs your
digital peripherals and makes cable clutter a thing of the past.
Bluetooth Authentication Bluetooth authentication is the procedure to
verify whether another Bluetooth enabled device has the right to access your
computer. During this procedure, a Bluetooth passkey is asked for on both
connection sides. If the passkeys are the same, the authentication procedure
is a success and the connection can be setup. If the passkeys are different,
then authentication fails and the connection cannot be set up.
Bluetooth Authorization Bluetooth authorization is the procedure to verify
whether you are going to allow (authorize) other Bluetooth enabled devices to
use Bluetooth services on your Bluetooth enabled devices. This procedure
functions in Bluetooth security Mode 2 and applies only to your Bluetooth
services. Every Bluetooth service in your BlueSoleil has the setting of
73
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. Users
can disconnect the connection after finishing his job on Bluetooth.
Bluetooth Connection Shortcut Connection shortcut is used for saving
time in searching devices and browsing services. After a connection is
established, it can be saved as a shortcut. The shortcut can be used later to
re-establish the connection, without searching the remote Bluetooth devices
and browsing services. After a connection is setup, the connection can be
saved as a shortcut, which can be used later without searching Bluetooth
devices or browsing services.
Bluetooth Device Bluetooth devices are addressed in two ways: (1) When
referring to the local device configuration, a Bluetooth Device is the local
Bluetooth hardware which can be a USB dongles, a UART device, a PCMCIA
card or a BCSP device. The user is expected to select the interface of his
Bluetooth device in his configuration. (2) When referring to the Bluetooth
application, it is the Bluetooth system as a whole, e.g. a Bluetooth modem,
Bluetooth mobiles or a Bluetooth PDA etc. My PC together with the BlueSoleil
and the Bluetooth dongle would also be addressed as a remote Bluetooth
device by other Bluetooth devices.
Bluetooth Device Address A unique 48-bit address that distinguishes
between different Bluetooth transceivers. Every Bluetooth device has a unique
address so that other devices can find it and communicate with it. The address
appears in the form of 00:03:20:00:0D:0A.
Bluetooth Device Class According to the Bluetooth standard, every
Bluetooth device is assigned a device type, which is represented in device
class. The Bluetooth device class is three bytes in length in the form of
04:01:00. On the computer side, the class may be Server, Desktop or Laptop.
Users will be asked to select it during the first time starting.
74
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.
Bluetooth Dongle A Bluetooth device which can be added onto a PC or a
notebook to make it Bluetooth enabled. Typically a USB device.
Bluetooth bonding A user initiates the bonding procedure and enters a
passkey to create a paired relationship between two devices. This differs
from the authentication procedure where the user is requested to enter a
passkey during the establishment of a link.
Bluetooth Passkey In the Bluetooth authentication procedure, a Bluetooth
passkey is requested on both connection sides. The same Bluetooth passkey
should be input on both sides. If the passkeys are the same, the authentication
procedure is successful and connections can be setup. If the passkeys are
different, the connection and authentication will fail.
Bluetooth Peripheral Device This is the implementation of the Bluetooth
Human Interface Device profile (HID). By using HID, a Bluetooth peripheral
input device such as Bluetooth mouse or keyboard can interface with the host
PC remotely.
Bluetooth Security Bluetooth security is an important part for the wireless
communication technology. Illegal access to your computer can be rejected.
There are three levels of security: Low, Medium and High. In Low level, there
is no security check. In Medium level, remote Bluetooth devices can browse
your services. Security is set on every service. The service can be set to
request or not request for authentication and authorization. If you request for
authentication, the remote device will be asked to enter the same passkey as
the one in your PC . Otherwise, the Bluetooth passkey is not asked. If
authorization is set, the remote device has to be in the authorized devices list.
If not, there will be a dialog to ask the user to confirm whether you are going to
allow a remote device to use a services of the local device.
Bluetooth Service A Bluetooth device may offer certain functions for
other Bluetooth devices to use. These functions are called Bluetooth services.
75
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.
C
Connectable Bluetooth devices can be connectable or non-connectable.
When the device is connectable, other devices can connect to it.
D
DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet
protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP.
E
Encryption When a Bluetooth link is encrypted, data are encrypted into
unreadable data using a secret key or password before they are sent over the
air. Data are decrypted after they reach the remote device.
G
General Discoverable Bluetooth devices have 3 modes: General
discoverable, Limited discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. A Bluetooth
device will respond to a General Inquiry if it is in general discoverable or limited
discoverable mode.
H
HID A Human Interface device such as keyboard and mouse.
I
ICS Internet Connection Sharing. For more detailed information about ICS,
please refer to the help topic Internet Connection Sharing of Microsoft
Windows.
76
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.
N
NAP (Networking Access Point) A network access point is a unit that
contains one or more Bluetooth radio devices and acts as a bridge, proxy, or
router between a Bluetooth network and some other network technology
(10baseT, GSM, etc).
NAT Network address translation, which is used to re-map IP's from one
address range to another range of network addresses.
Non-connectable A Bluetooth devices can be connectable or
non-connectable. When it is non-connectable, other devices cannot connect to
it. This is used in BlueSoleil only when the user does not want other device to
connect to their computer.
Non-discoverable Bluetooth devices have 3 modes: General discoverable,
Limited discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. In Non-discoverable mode,
a Bluetooth device will not respond to any inquiry so no device can find it.
Non-pairable A Bluetooth device can be pairable or non-pairable. When it
is non-pairable, it will not accept a bonding request from other devices;
P
Pairing Devices Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information
each time a connection is set up. Paired devices share a unique Link Key,
which they exchange each time they connect.
PIM Personal Information Management.
77
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. However, if the two devices are too close and the
radio signal is too strong, the Bluetooth data transferring speed is also slow
because the "sound" is too loud to "hear". The radio signal strength is always
referred to as RSSI in Bluetooth.
Remote Bluetooth Device All the other Bluetooth enabled devices are
called remote Bluetooth devices in the term of my Bluetooth device. They
could be a Bluetooth modem, Bluetooth mobiles or a Bluetooth PDA etc.
T
Trusted Device Device having unrestricted access to all services on the
server.
