3.8. Serial port setting
The Bluetooth Serial Port service allows two Bluetooth devices to establish a wireless
connection through virtual communications ports and then use that connection as if it were
a hardwired serial cable between the devices.
To establish a Bluetooth serial port connection:
Connections are initiated from the client:
1. On the client, in the Folders pane of "My Bluetooth Places", select "Entire Bluetooth
Neighborhood".
2. In the right pane of "Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood", right-click anywhere except on
a device name and select "Refresh" from the pop-up menu.
3. In the Folders pane of "My Bluetooth Places", right-click the server you want to
establish a connection with and select "Discover Available Services" from the popup
menu to update the available services list. The available services will be displayed in
the right pane of "My Bluetooth Places".
4. In the right pane of "My Bluetooth Places", double-click "Bluetooth Serial Port". A
dialog box appears that contains the communications port number assigned to this
connection by the client. The application that will use this connection must be
configured to send data to this port.
Depending on the security configuration, the dialog box that provides communications port
information may not appear until after Authentication and Authorization have been
accomplished.
The application on the server must be configured to use the correct communications port.
To determine the communications port being used by the service:
* On the server, in the Folders pane of "My Bluetooth Places", right-click "My Device"
and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu
* In the "Bluetooth Configuration Panel", select the "Local Services" tab.

that is providing the "Bluetooth Serial Port" service.
* In the right pane of "My Bluetooth Places", right-click "Bluetooth Serial Port" and then
select "Disconnect Bluetooth Serial Port" from the pop-up menu. Though not
recommended, connections can also be closed from the server:

64
Q3: How come some devices within the connection range may not show up in the list of
devices found?ʳ
A3: Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices (Bluetooth
Configuration Panel > Discovery tab, on your device). The unlisted device is
configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Accessibility tab,
on the un-listed device).ʳ
Q4: Cannot connect to a paired device.
A4: Paired devices are always displayed in My Bluetooth Places, even if the remote
device is out of range or not powered up.
Verify that the remote member of the pair is within radio range, and powered up, and
then attempt the connection again.
Q5: Cannot discover services on an un-paired remote device
A5: The remote device may not be powered up or may be out of range.
zVerify that the remote device is powered up.
zVerify that the remote device is in Connectable mode (Bluetooth Configuration
Panel > Accessibility tab).
zҏPerform a Search for Devices to verify that the device is within range.
Q6: Dial-up networking service does not start.
A6: The Dial-up Networking service will not start unless a properly configured modem is
attached to the server.
zVerify that the modem is usable as a local device on the computer to which it is
attached. In the Bluetooth Configuration PanelÆLocal Services tabÆ double-click
the Dial-up Networking serviceÆClick the down arrow in the Modem field and
select the modem that will be used to dial out, click the OK button to close the
Bluetooth Configuration Panel.
Q7: Determine the Bluetooth device address (BDA) of my hardware device.
A7: In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, on the Hardware tab, in the Devices section,
select the device you want to determine the address of. In the Device Properties
section of the dialog box, the fourth entry, Device Address, is the BDA of the selected
Bluetooth device.
Q8: Determine the version of the host controller interface (HCI)
A8: In the Bluetooth configuration panel, on the hardware tab, in the device properties
Section, the fifth entry provides Bluetooth specification compliance information for the
host controller interface.
The sixth entry contains the specification revision information for the host controller
Interface, if appropriate.
Q9: Determine the version of the link manager protocol (IMP)
A9: In the Bluetooth configuration panel, on the hardware tab, in the device properties
section, the seventh entry provides link manager protocol version number
information.
The eighth entry contains the link manager protocol sub-version number information,
if appropriate.
Q10: How to find information about the Bluetooth hardware attached to my computer?
A10: In the Bluetooth configuration panel, select the hardware tab.
Q11: Internet connection sharing does not work
65
A11: This occurs because Internet connection sharing was enabled when Bluetooth was
installed (this is a Microsoft windows behavior and is considered proper operation).
To resolve the “problem”:
1. Disable sharing for the Ethernet adapter:
(a) Windows control panel > network and dial-up connections
(b) Right-click “local area connection,” select properties, and then select the
Sharing tab.
(c) Clear (uncheck) the box for “enable internet connection sharing for this
“Connection” and click ok.
2. Re-enable sharing for the Ethernet adapter; repeat step 1.c.), and select (check)
the sharing box.
If offered an option to select an adapter, select “Bluetooth network adapter” (this
option will not appear unless more than one adapter is available.) If asked to reboot
the computer, do so.
Q12: Test a network access connection.
A12: 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.
Q13: Unknown port message when using a Bluetooth serial port.
A13: 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.
Q14: Bluetooth headset doesn’t always function under Win98.
A14: 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:
zUpgrade to a newer version of Windows
zUse 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.)
Q15: How to shift the Buletooth driver to the original one in Windows XP sp2. Please
