3 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 (2.4GHz – 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.

You will then see all the services listed, providing the services are compatible and the device has not gone out of range or been switched off. Service Discovery
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. 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 Syncronization is used to syncronize 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. Note: You are advised to view the Help file supplied with this software for more detailed information about all of these services.

13Pairing 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. For additional information on how to pair a specific device that is not included in the following section, refer to the documentation supplied with that Bluetooth device. Note: blue5 and blueM users should refer to the online user guide provided on the blue5/blueM software CD. The following section shows how to pair your USB Adaptor or PC Card solution with other popular Bluetooth solutions.

25HSCSD High Speed Circuit Switched Data (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.

26Frequently 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 TDK Bluetooth PC Card? Yes. Full audio support is available in version 1.3.2.7 of the TDK 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. When I start Windows without my USB Adaptor attached, the
27Bluetooth tray icon is missing. Where is it? The Bluetooth tray icon is present when the hardware is attached. It is recommenced that you start Windows with the USB Adaptor attached or PC Card inserted.

30Glossary Authentication Process of verifying the identity of the user at the other end of a link. Authentication is accomplished by using a link key stored in the device memory or by a user PIN (called pairing). Authorization Process of deciding if a requesting device is allowed to have access to a service on another device. Authorization always includes authentication. Bluetooth Device Address Every Bluetooth transceiver is issued a unique 48-bit Bluetooth Device Address which is used for quite a few algorithms when exchanging data between devices. The Bluetooth Device Address is used for hop sequence generation and many error detection code generation schemes. Bluetooth Unit Any device such as a mobile handset, PDA, or PC card that is equipped with suitable Bluetooth hardware needed to establish wireless communication between devices. Bonding / Pairing The creation of a semi-permanent (or permanent) relationship between two devices. The relationship is established when the user enters a passkey with the explicit purpose of creating a bond between two devices. This procedure is different from authenticating using a passkey in which the user is requested to enter a passkey during the establishment of a link. Inquiry / Discovery Process by which a Bluetooth unit transmits inquiry messages in order to discover the other Bluetooth units that are active within the coverage area. Any Bluetooth unit that received the inquiry message may respond to the inquiring device with information about its Bluetooth unit and its host device. PIN Code / Passkey Personal Identification Number. A type of password that is unique to a user. Piconet A network of devices connected using Bluetooth technology. A piconet may consist of two to eight devices. In a piconet, there will always be one master while the others are slaves. Trusted device / Paired device A device that has been authenticated. Profiles Bluetooth software emulates various types of wired links it is designed to replace. Each of these emulations are known as profiles. Examples of profiles are serial port, LAN and dial-up networking.
