Create a connection from the Bluetooth icon in the system tray
In the Windows system tray, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Quick
Connect and
then the Bluetooth service that you wish to use.
If this computer has created a connection to the desired type of service in the
past, the options on the shortcut menu are:
• The name(s) of any device(s) with which prior connections to this type
of service have been established. Select a name from the list to
re-establish connection.
• Other Devices-Select this option to search for additional devices that
potentially provide the desired service, select a device from the list, and
then click Connect.
If this computer has never created a connection to this type of service, the only
option on the shortcut menu is "Find Devices". Select this option to search for
devices that potentially provide the desired service, select a device from the
list, and then click Connect.
Create a connection using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard
(1) From Bluetooth Explorer
• Right-click My Bluetooth Places and select Bluetooth Setup Wizard or
• From the Bluetooth menu, select Bluetooth Setup Wizard
From the Windows system tray: right-click the Bluetooth icon and select
Bluetooth Setup Wizard.

The services supported by Bluetooth are:
• Bluetooth Serial Port-a wireless connection between two devices.
This connection can be used by applications as though a physical serial
cable connected the devices.
• Dial-up Networking-allows a device to use a modem that is physically
attached to another Bluetooth device.
• Fax-allows a device to send a fax using a remote Bluetooth cell phone,
modem, or computer.
• File Transfer-allows a device to perform file system operations on
another Bluetooth device; browse, open, copy, etc.
• Headset-allows a Bluetooth headset to be used as the audio
input/output mechanism for another Bluetooth device, such as a
computer or cell phone.
• PIM Item Transfer-allows two Bluetooth devices to exchange Personal
Information Manager data such as business cards, calendar items,
email messages, and notes.
• PIM Synchronization-allows two Bluetooth devices to synchronize
Personal Information Manager data.
• Network Access-allows a device to access a Local Area Network via a
second Bluetooth device that is physically connected to the network or allows
a remote device to become part of an ad hoc network provided by the
Bluetooth server.
• Audio Gateway-allows the microphone/speakers on Bluetooth device
(typically a computer) to be used as the audio input/output mechanism for a
remote Bluetooth device, such as a cell phone.
All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services. For
example, network gateways may provide only the Network Access service.
FIND A SERVICE
The process of determining the services that a device provides is called
Service Discovery.
You can follow the wizard's on-screen instructions to find a service to use or
click "Skip" button to skip this step.
To initiate a Service Discovery, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places,
right-click a device name and select Discover Available Services from the shortcut
menu. Bluetooth services are those things that this computer can do for remote
Bluetooth devices. For example, if this computer allows a remote Bluetooth device to
send a fax using a fax modem that is physically attached to this computer, then this
computer is providing the Bluetooth fax service. Some services are hardware
dependant; this computer cannot provide the fax service unless it has a physical fax
modem, for example. Some Bluetooth services use virtual hardware. The Bluetooth
Serial Port service, for example, does not use a physical port on this computer. Instead,
it creates virtual serial ports that Windows applications can see and use as if they were
actual physical ports. Each Bluetooth service that this computer is capable of
providing can be started automatically when Bluetooth starts. Each service can be
setup to require security measures before allowing a remote Bluetooth device to
connect. Bluetooth services require a Bluetooth application on the remote device;
services and applications usually have coinciding names; i.e., there is a Bluetooth Fax
Service and a Bluetooth Fax Application.
To check if you Bluetooth device is up and working properly
From the Bluetooth menu, select "Advanced Configuration".
Under the "Hardware" tab, verify the Bluetooth address is present along with
the driver and firmware version info.
If such information is not present, please unplug then plug in the USB adapter
to initiate the driver.
For CF Bluetooth card, please reboot the system with the CF Bluetooth card
securely inserted in the PCMCIA slot.
Repeat the installation steps for other USB adapters or CF card on other
PCs.
Periodic Search for Devices
Bluetooth can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular
basis (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab). One of the advantages
of Bluetooth is the mobility that the wireless connections allow. However,
mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during the
time between the automatic updates performed by Bluetooth. To be certain
that the displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, or if automatic
periodic inquiry is not enabled, force an update of the device list using the
technique described in Search for Devices, above.
1.1 Icons used for Bluetooth devices and services
Bluetooth icons provide at-a-glance feedback about a device or service's
status by changing appearance.
