164. Using Software Bluetooth for Windows is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personal computers. Most Bluetooth enabled devices have the capability to act as: - A Bluetooth server: these devices provide one or more services, such as access to the Internet, to the other Bluetooth devices. - A Bluetooth client: these devices use the service(s) provided by Bluetooth servers. Bluetooth for Windows software provides: - Clients 1) To locate other Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity (inquiry). 2) Discover the services that those devices offer (discovery). 3) Connect to, use, and disconnect from those devices. - Servers 1) To include / exclude individual services in the list of services it provides to clients. - Extensive security, including: 1) Authorization 2) Authentication 3) Encryption Bluetooth for Windows supports: Windows XP / Windows 2000 / Windows ME / Windows 98SE
174.1 Local Device services As figure 2.1.1 shows, double click on the Local Device icon and then go into the sub-window. Local Device window shows all local services that a BluetoothTM Server is capable of providing. The services include: - Bluetooth Serial Port - Dial-Up Networking - Fax - Network Access - File Transfer - Information Exchange - Information Synchronization All services will automatically start when the BluetoothTM Software is initialized. Auto start-up can also be disabled for individual service (by using Bluetooth Configuration Console/Local Services tab, and double click on respective service to change start-up property). To stop a service that is in action, just right-click on the icon of service, and choose stop from the pop-up menu. Note: Those services that you stopped are unavailable for clients to use unless you restart them again.
18Connections are usually established and disconnected by the client side. However, if necessary, you can also interrupt the connection from server side directly, or re-start the service form stopped state (it means the server side can not actively connect to client side but allows client side to establish the connection). In Local Device window, right-click on the icon of service, and choose stop/start from the pop-up menu.
194.2 Bluetooth Neighborhood services In the Bluetooth Neighborhood window, you can use Search For Devices function to make Bluetooth USB Dongle look for other Bluetooth-enabled devices in the vicinity and display those devices it detected.
