Introduction Bluetooth is a short range wireless communication technology. It is designed to replace the traditional cable connections currently used to link compatible devices. These can be cable connections between computers and printers, computers and mobile phones and between mobile phones and headsets. Bluetooth is designed to operate in the internationally recognised ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) frequency band. Within the ISM band (2.40GHz – 2.48GHz) Bluetooth transmissions hop between 79 separate frequencies 1,600 times every second. Bluetooth is a low power radio designed for short range communication of about 10 metres and has an impressive peak data throughput. The potential applications for this new wireless technology are enormous – in time Bluetooth technology will touch all our lives in some shape or form. In the short term, Bluetooth will make mobile computing much easier and far more convenient than it’s ever been. In the longer term, Bluetooth will open up a whole new world of infinitely flexible personal connectivity.

Bluetooth Services (Profiles) The Bluetooth Serial Port allows you to establish a serial connection to a Bluetooth serial port on another Bluetooth device. The serial connection can be used by legacy applications as it emulates a simple RS232 serial cable link between two Bluetooth devices. The Dial-Up Networking (DUN) service allows you to access and use the modem on another Bluetooth device to dial out, typically to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to browse the internet and send/receive email. The Audio Gateway service allows remote devices to use the audio features of your computer. The Headset service allows you to connect to Bluetooth headset devices. Network Access allows you to connect to the Internet and LAN through another Bluetooth device’s LAN connection. PIM Item Transfer is used to exchange items between the personal information managers (PIM) via Bluetooth. If you want to copy, move or drag and drop files you should use file transfer. In fact you can perform any usual file transfer actions with File Transfer such as open, cut, copy, paste and delete. PIM Synchronisation is used to syncronise the information (PIM database) between you and another Bluetooth device. If you wish to send a Fax over Bluetooth you can access the fax service of another Bluetooth device to do this.

Pairing Guide Pairing (also referred to as bonding) is the process of associating Bluetooth devices with each other. It is advisable to pair with frequently used Bluetooth devices. This will establish a permanent security link between the devices and enable quick access to the services provided, without the need to enter passkeys. Once a device is paired it remains paired even if the user: • Reboots one or both devices • Stops and starts the services on the devices Note: A paired device will be displayed in the Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood window even if the device is not within radio range and/or powered on at the time Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood is opened and explored. The Pairing Wizard supplied will show you how to pair your USB Adaptor or PC Card to many popular Bluetooth phones. For additional information on how to pair a specific device that is not included in the pairing wizard, refer to the documentation supplied with that Bluetooth device. 13
GPRS & HSCSD GPRS (Generalised Packer Radio Service) is a form of the GSM standard which is designed for sending data. It is called an “always-on” service, as it keeps the connection maintained, but you are only charged for the amount of data you send. To use GPRS you need to obtain an APN name from your network provider, along with a username and password. You should enter these into your handset, after which you can set up a dial-up networking (DUN) connection between your PC and your mobile phone to provide mobile internet access. To set up a DUN connection, right click on the Bluetooth tray icon, then select Quick Connect and Dial-up networking. If you do not have GPRS, then High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) is a useful alternative. HSCSD is an enhancement of Circuit Switched Data (CSD) which is available on current GSM networks. It increases the speed of transmission so you can send and receive information up to three times faster than the current maximum of 9600bps. The HSCSD solution enables higher rates by using multiple channels, allowing subscribers to enjoy faster Internet access and e-mail. Note: Contact your service provider for details on availability, supported connection rates and to subscribe to this service.

Frequently Asked Questions How do I find the Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) of my device? Right-click on the taskbar Bluetooth Icon and select Advanced Configuration. Click on the Hardware tab. The Bluetooth address will be displayed next to the Device Address. Why can’t I discover a nearby Bluetooth device? The remote device is probably in non-discoverable mode. Check the status of the device and perform another search when the remote device is in discoverable mode. Why am I unable to exchange business cards? Ensure that both Bluetooth devices have default business cards created and selected. Can other Bluetooth devices access my confidential files? The Bluetooth specification provides levels of security. By default your machine is discoverable and is sharing one empty folder. This folder can only be accessed by other Bluetooth devices that you have paired with and authorized. Can I do a device discovery from my 2 machines simultaneously? Simultaneous device discovery is supported but not recommended as the machines may fail to discover each other. Can I use my Bluetooth headset with my Ezurio Bluetooth PC Card? Yes. Full audio support is available in version 1.4.2.18 of the Bluetooth software. Can I use two Bluetooth profiles at the same time? Yes, providing the remote equipment supports this feature. Both the USB adaptor and PC card provide this functionality. Why can’t I use dial-up networking and print to my Bluetooth printer at the same time? Bluetooth currently support two types of configuration, point-to- point and point-to-multipoint. Point-to-point acts as a cable replacement, allowing you to remove the cable between your headset and your mobile phone, or from your printer to your laptop. Point-to-multipoint provides the ability to connect eight devices simultaneously, this forms what is referred to as a Piconet. To achieve this one device must be the controller (referred to as the Master) and the other seven devices must be controlled (referred to as the Slaves). As you can imagine this is not a simple task for the Master device and not all devices can perform this role. Also not all profiles can support multipoint connections. In practice only Network Access Profile and the Serial Port Profile support multipoint connections. 15
