3Introduction 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 (2.4Ghz – 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 of 721KBps. 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.

11Bluetooth 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. If you wish to send a Fax over Bluetooth you can access the fax service of another Bluetooth device to do this. Network Access allows you to connect to the Internet through another Bluetooth device’s LAN connection. Only Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is supported. The Information Exchange 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 the Public Folder such as open, cut, copy, paste and delete. The Information Syncronization is used to syncronize the information (PIM database) between you and another Bluetooth device. Note: You are advised to view the Help file supplied with this software for more detailed information about all of these services.

21Frequently Asked Questions How do I find the Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) of my device? Double-click on the taskbar Bluetooth Icon. 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 your machine and the remote computer has a default business card 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. Double-click on the taskbar Bluetooth Icon and click on the Information Exchange tab to see the folder you are sharing to other Bluetooth devices. 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. Is my device point to point and what does this mean? Both the USB adaptor and PC card are multipoint devices. A point to point system will only allow communication between two machines and will no longer be accessible to other Bluetooth devices. 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.
