sure the device supports Object Push.
Serial Ports (Client and Server)
The Serial Port Client and Serial Port Server profiles (sometimes called “cable replacement”)
enable you to use a Bluetooth connection in place of a serial COM cable.
When the Blue Manager Suite is installed, the software also installs four Bluetooth COM ports:
two for general serial port use (client and server), and two for dial-up networking (client and
server). You can use these ports just as you would ordinary COM ports.
You can view the Bluetooth COM ports in the Profile Manager under Serial Port Servers, or in
the Windows Device Manager under Ports.
• To use a client port: use Blue Manager to select a remote device, and connect to its
serial port. After connecting, your applications can open and use the client port just
like any other.
• To use a server port: open the server port from any application that uses serial ports.
Remote devices with a serial port client can connect to the local device and
communicate through this port.
Using Dial-up Networking
Windows enables you to create a Bluetooth dial-up networking (DUN) connection that you
can use as with any other dial-up connection.
For detailed instructions, open Windows Help and Support, search for “Bluetooth DUN,” and
follow these points:
• You must have a BT-compliant DUN gateway device installed.
• Select Bluetooth Modem – DUN as the device to use.
• Use a maximum speed of 115200.
• Blue Manager must be running to use the connection.
Bluetooth Profile Overview

Troubleshooting
If you have trouble connecting to or using remote Bluetooth devices with Blue Manager, try
these solutions.
• Your Bluetooth adapter must be plugged in and recognized by the Blue Manager
software. When your adapter is recognized, the Bluetooth icon in the system tray will be
blue or green. A gray icon indicates that Blue Manager cannot access any Bluetooth
adapter.
• Make sure the remote device is turned on, has Bluetooth enabled, and is configured to
allow incoming connections.
• Some devices must be paired before their services can be used.
• Make sure the remote device supports the service you are trying to use.
• For some profiles, you may need to disconnect other devices first.
• If a device you have used before does not appear in the main window, you may need to
select the Show All Known Devices filter.
• In rare occasions, you may need to unplug and plug in the Bluetooth adapter and/or close
and restart the Blue Manager applications to reset them.
This equipment also should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between
the radiator & your body.
