Introduction
Introduction to Bluetooth
The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless
exchange of data between two devices within a Personal Area Network.
In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a
connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request a
connection with another, where the second device accepts (or rejects) the
connection. The originator of the request is known as the client. The device
that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server. Many Bluetooth
devices can act as both client and server. A client Bluetooth device runs a
software program that requests a connection to another device as part of
its normal operation. For example, the program may request a connection
to a remote computer, a printer, or a modem.
Becoming a Bluetooth client normally requires an action by the device
operator, such as an attempt to browse a remote computer, print a le,
or dial out on a modem. Every Bluetooth device that provides a service
must be prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth software
is always running in the background on the server, ready to respond to
connection requests.
Introduction to the DBT-122 Bluetooth USB Adapter
The D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter is the perfect wireless solution for quick
and easy access to Bluetooth enabled devices. It is a class 2/3 low power
device and is bundled with Bluetooth Software which allows you to connect
to several Bluetooth devices at once. The wireless transmission range of
the D-Link DBT-122 Bluetooth USB Adapter is about 10 meters (30 feet). A
PC congured as the Bluetooth server can support up to seven Bluetooth
client devices with IP addresses being automatically assigned upon a
successful connection. The Bluetooth Software also provides Internet
sharing and security access between the server and clients.
After nishing the steps outlined in this manual, you will have the ability
to share information, obtain network access, and take full advantage of a
wireless connected environment.

the devices that it nds in My Bluetooth Places.
To start a search for devices, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places,
select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, and then, from the Bluetooth menu,
select Search for Devices.
NOTE: The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is
active.
Periodic Search for Devices
Bluetooth can be congured to automatically search for devices on a regular
basis (Bluetooth Conguration 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.
Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of
devices found because:
• Your device is congured to report only specic types or classes of
devices (Bluetooth Conguration Panel > Discovery tab, on your
device).
• The unlisted device is congured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth
Conguration Panel > Accessibility tab, on the un-listed device).

Bluetooth Software Basic Operations (cont’d)
Find A Service
The process of determining the services that a device provides is called
Service Discovery.
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.
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 le 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.
20
Bluetooth Connection Status
The Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box displays information about the
state of a connection and provides a means to disconnect an active
connection.
Display the Connection Status dialog box: in My Bluetooth Places, from
the Folders pane, select a device, and then, in the right pane of My Bluetooth
Places, right-click a service name and select Status from the shortcut menu.
The Information provided is:
• Status: “Connected” or “Not Connected”
• Device Name: the name of the device to which this computer is
connected.
• Duration: the length of time that this connection has been
established, displayed in hours, minutes and seconds. Depending on
the service, the connection may time out (automatically disconnect)
after a specic period of inactivity.
• Activity: the number of bytes sent and received over the connection.
• Signal Strength: a graphic indicator that ranges from Too Weak
through Good to Too Strong.
The controls in the Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box are
• Properties button: displays the Bluetooth Properties dialog box for
this connection.
• Disconnect button: closes this connection.
• Close button: closes the Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box.
Bluetooth Software Basic Operations (cont’d)
• 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.

Hands-Free Prole (HFP)
Overview
The Hands-Free Prole (HFP) denes how two devices that support HFP will
interact on a point-to-point basis. With HFP, a headset or any other Hands-
Free embedded unit can connect wirelessly to a cellular phone to act as the
cellular phone’s audio input and output mechanism. HFP applied in this way
also allows typical telephone functions to be performed without the need to
access the actual phone. The Hands-Free AG (Audio Gateway) role can be
used as the source side of the HFP connection. It can be used to connect
with a Hands-Free device, like a Bluetooth headset.
Two roles are dened for this application:
An Audio Gateway (AG) is a device that is the source of the audio, both for

Advanced Audio Distribution Prole (A2DP)
Overview
The Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Prole (A2DP) application allows
a computer to use Bluetooth for distribution of high quality audio content
in mono or stereo on ACL channels. A typical application of A2DP is for
streaming music content from a stereo music player or PC to headphones or
speakers. Users can enjoy high-quality music on a Bluetooth stereo headset
receiving streaming music from the DBT-122 dongle via a PC.
A2DP denes the protocol for audio streaming while the Video Distribution
Prole (VDP) denes video streaming. So, to gain both high quality audio
and video, you need Bluetooth devices which support both A2DP and VDP.
Two roles are dened for this application:
An A2DP Source is a device, such as a Bluetooth MP3 or PDA, providing
the source of a digital audio stream for delivery to an A2DP Sink.
An A2DP Sink is a device, such as a Bluetooth headset or stereo speakers,
receiving a digital audio stream provided by an A2DP Source.
Some devices can operate in both roles, although not simultaneously. For
example, the speakers on a PC can be used as an A2DP Sink to play music
transmitted from an A2DP Source such as a Bluetooth MP3 player.
Applications > PIM

For example, even if the PIM Item Transfer service business card
option on this computer is congured to “Do Not Accept,” the PIM Item
Transfer application will still accept business cards that the application
has specically requested via its “Receive” or “Exchange” functions.

Video Distribution Prole (VDP)
Overview
The Bluetooth Video Distribution Prole (VDP) application denes how a
Bluetooth enabled device streams video content using ACL channels. A
typical application of VDP is for streaming stored video playback from a PC
media center to a portable player or streaming from a digital video camera to
a TV. Users can watch streaming video playback using the DBT-122 dongle
via a PC.
VDP denes the protocol for video streaming while A2DP denes high quality
audio streaming. So, for high quality audio and video, your Bluetooth devices
should support both VDP and A2DP.
Two roles are dened for this application:
A VDP Source is a device, such as a Bluetooth enabled digital video
camera, providing the source of a digital video stream for delivery to a VDP
Sink.
A VDP Sink is a device, such as a Bluetooth enabled PC, receiving a digital
audio stream provided by an VDP Source.

Basic Printing Prole (BPP)
Overview
The Basic Printing Prole (BPP) denes how a Bluetooth device can send
print job requests to a Bluetooth enabled printer without the need for device-
specic printer drivers. Common applications of BPP include printing e-mail
messages, short messages (SMS), and formatted documents. Optional
support for the printing of structured data objects such as vCard and
vCalendar entries is also dened, as well as methods for negotiating the use
of other formats supported by the printer.
The Basic Printing Prole allows a Bluetooth enabled printer to act as a print
server to accept objects pushed by a sender, for example a PDA or a mobile
phone, and print out the result.
Two roles are dened for this application:
A Printer is a server device used as an object exchange server.
A Sender is the client device that pushes an object to the Printer
BPP also species two types of print service: Direct Printing and Reference
Printing. For Direct Printing jobs or services, the content to be printed is
stored on the Sender. For Reference Printing jobs or services, the content to
be printed is stored on the network and referenced by the Sender in queuing
a print request. The Printer’s main task is to accept a print request of either
type from a Sender, queue it, and print the content.

Notications
Overview
There are three types of notication:
• Authentication request, also called a PIN code request—this
notication appears automatically in a balloon over the Windows
system tray if a Personal Identication Code is required before a
connection can proceed. An audio le can also be associated with
the notication.
• Authorization request, also called a connection request—this type of
notication can be visual, audio, or both. It noties you of attempts to
access a Bluetooth service on this computer; the connection will not
proceed until you click the balloon that appears over the Windows
system tray. If the notication balloon is ignored, the connection
request will time out and fail.
• Notication only—this type of notication does not effect access in
any way; it is solely for information purposes to let you know that a
connection has been established.
Example
Both Authentication and Authorization request notications are controlled by
whether Secure Connection is enabled for an individual service.
An example of how notications might work when a remote device attempts
to access a service on this computer, if all notications are enabled:
1. Authentication: a balloon notication (audio optional) appears to
prompt for a PIN code. If the PIN code does not match the code
entered on the remote device, the connection will not be allowed.
Once the remote device has been authenticated this notication will
not appear again, unless the paired relationship is broken and the
devices must re-pair.
2. Authorization: a balloon notication appears and/or a sound le
provides audio notication that a remote device is attempting to
access a Bluetooth service on this computer. Click the balloon to
proceed. A dialog box appears that offers the option of letting the
connection proceed this time only or to always allow this particular
remote device to use the service it is attempting to access.
3. Once a connection has been authorized, an additional visual and/or
audio notication may appear (if enabled). This notication is for
information only to inform the operator that a connection has been
established.
Services > Notications
42
Bluetooth Configuration (cont’d)
After two devices are paired (step 1, above), the authentication notication
will no longer appear when a connection is attempted.
If “Always allow…” is enabled during the authorization process (step 2,
above), the authorization notication will not appear on future connection
attempts.
Connection notication (step 3, above) only happens if it has been enabled
Service Access Notication
“Notications” lets you associate a sound (Windows *.wav le) and/or a
visual indication with access attempts by remote devices.
A different notication sound can be associated with each local Bluetooth
service.
Associate a sound with service access
From the Bluetooth Conguration Panel, Local Services tab:
1. Double-click a service name and then select the Notications tab.
2. Check the desired options; visual and sound may both be selected
for a single event.
3. Choose a sound; click the Browse button and navigate to the sound
le (*.wav) to be used for notication.

PIM Synchronization
The PIM Synchronization service can be used by a remote device to
synchronize its Personal Information Manager (PIM) database with
the PIM database of this computer.
Four data types are supported:
• Business cards
• Calendar items
• Email messages
• Notes
Whether an individual item is accepted and where it is stored, when
accepted, is congured in the PIM Item Transfer service. If that
service is not congured to store a particular data type in Outlook,
then that data type cannot be synchronized.
NOTE: Data types that will be synchronized must be saved in the PIM
database (this is congured in the PIM Item Transfer service);
otherwise, that data type will not be available for selection (it will be
grayed out) in the PIM Synchronization conguration settings.
Microsoft Outlook permits duplicate entries, so all duplicates may not
be exchanged in the synchronization process.
NOTE: Only Outlook’s default contacts folder is synchronized. Items in sub-
folders are not synchronized. Items that are moved from the default
folder to a sub-folder will appear to have been deleted the next time
synchronization takes place.

Security
Authentication
Authentication is used to verify identity; it requires a passkey or link key from
the remote device. When a remote device attempts access, a visual and/or
audio warning noties the local operator.
If the notication is ignored, access is denied after a preset timeout.
When devices are “paired,” those devices automatically exchange a link key
and Authentication is carried out without operator intervention.
Authorization
Authorization is Yes-or-No security that requires operator intervention to
avoid having the connection time out and fail.
Authorization is limited to:
• Yes, you may connect (click the balloon to proceed).
• No, you may not connect (ignore the balloon prompt and the
connection will fail).
Bluetooth Device Identity
Every Bluetooth device has a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA)
assigned to it during the manufacturing process. This address cannot be
changed by the end-user.
A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format;
00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a valid BDA.
Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-congurable, user-friendly
name to help distinguish it from other devices. The user-friendly name may
be up to 99 alphanumeric characters in length and may contain spaces. My
Personal Computer is a valid user-friendly name.
Encryption
Encrypting data translates it into an unreadable format using a secret key or
password. Decrypting the data requires the same key or password that was
used to encrypt it.
Link Key
A unique, internally generated, access code based on a passkey, the
Bluetooth Device Address and an internally generated random number. Link
keys are generated automatically when devices Pair.
After a link key is generated, manual entry of the passkey is not required.
57
Pairing Devices
Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each time a
connection is attempted. Paired devices share a unique link key, which they
exchange each time they connect.
NOTE: The mate of a pair always appears in My Bluetooth Places, even if the
mate is not turned on or is out of connection range.
Paired devices remain paired even when
• One of the devices is not on
• A service connection is interrupted or the service stopped
• One or both devices are rebooted.
To Pair with another device
If Secure Connection is enabled, devices will pair automatically the rst time
they connect (a passkey must be successfully exchanged).
To pair with a device manually:
In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device, select Pair
Device from the shortcut menu, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Remove Pairing
In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a paired device and
select Unpair Device from the shortcut menu.
Passkey
An alphanumeric string up to 16 characters in length. Passkeys are also
called Personal Identication Numbers, or PIN codes.
A passkey may be required if the Secure Connection option is enabled for a
Bluetooth service or application.
Secure Connection
A passkey or link key is required each time a connection is attempted.
All data exchanged over the Bluetooth connection is encrypted.
Depending on other conguration options, authorization may also be
required.
Security Request Dialog Box
A Bluetooth passkey request and/or Bluetooth Authorization request balloon
may appear over the Windows system tray when a connection is attempted if
Secure Connection is enabled.
Click the balloon to proceed.

Troubleshooting
Cannot connect to a paired device
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.
Cannot discover services on an unpaired
remote device
The remote device may not be powered up or may be out of range.
• Verify that the remote device is powered up.
• Verify that the remote device is in Connectable mode (Bluetooth
Conguration Panel > Accessibility tab).
• Perform a Search for Devices to verify that the device is within range.
Dial-up Networking service does not start
The Dial-up Networking service will not start unless a properly congured
modem is attached to the server.
• Verify that the modem is usable as a local device on the computer to
which it is attached.
• In the Bluetooth Conguration Panel, Local Services tab,
double-click the Dial-up Networking service.
• Click the down arrow in the Modem eld and select the modem
that will be used to dial out.

Troubleshooting (cont’d)
Unknown Port message when using a Bluetooth
Serial Port
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.
Bluetooth Headset Doesn’t Always Function
Under WIN 98
Windows 98 cannot convert audio les with the extension m3u (e.g.,
myle.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 les
into the PCM format.
Possible solutions are:
• Upgrade to a newer version of Windows.
• Use an m3u-to-mp3 conversion utility to convert the le(s) into a
format that is supported by Windows 98. (Conversion utilities are
available as freeware or shareware on the Internet.)
Internet Connection Sharing Does Not Work
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.
Test a Network Access connection
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.
