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.

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.

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.
