Authentication and Encryption tab:
Authentication Type: There are seven type of
authentication modes including Open, Shared, Leap,
WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-None.
• Open: If your access point/wireless router is using
"Open” authentication, then the wireless adapter will
need to be set to the same authentication type.
• Shared: Shared Key is when both the sender and the
recipient share a secret key.
• LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is
an EAP authentication type used primarily in Cisco
Aironet WLANs. It encrypts data transmissions using
dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports mutual
authentication (only with CCX mode enabled.)
• WPA-PSK: WPA-PSK offers two encryption
methods, TKIP and AES. Select the type of algorithm,
- 18 -
TKIP or AES and then enter a WPA Shared Key of
8-63 characters in the WPA Pre-shared Key field.
Encryption Type: For open and shared authentication
mode, the selection of encryption type are None and WEP.
For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
authentication mode, the encryption type supports both
TKIP and AES.
WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared secret between
AP and STA. For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
authentication mode, this field must be filled with
character longer than 8 and less than 32 length.
WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption
algorithm. The key must match with the AP’s key. There
are several formats to enter the keys.
• Hexadecimal (40bits): 10 Hex characters.
• Hexadecimal (128bits): 32Hex characters.
• ASCII (40bits): 5 ASCII characters.
• ASCII (128bits): 13 ASCII characters.
Show Password: Check this box to show the password
you entered.
802.1x Setting: When user use radius server to
authenticate client certificate for WPA authentication
mode.
802.1x tab:
- 19 -
EAP Method:
• PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol.
PEAP transport securely authentication data by using
tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication
server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients
using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying
the implementation and administration of a secure
wireless LAN.
• TLS / Smart Card: Transport Layer Security.
Provides for certificate-based and mutual
authentication of the client and the network. It relies
on client-side and server-side certificates to perform
authentication and can be used to dynamically
generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to
secure subsequent communications between the
WLAN client and the access point.
• TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This
security method provides for certificate-based, mutual
authentication of the client and network through an
- 20 -
encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS
requires only server-side certificates.
• EAP-FAST: Flexible Authentication via Secure
Tunneling. It was developed by Cisco. Instead of
using a certificate, mutual authentication is achieved
by means of a PAC (Protected Access Credential)
which can be managed dynamically by the
authentication server. The PAC can be provisioned
(distributed one time) to the client either manually or
automatically. Manual provisioning is delivery to the
client via disk or a secured network distribution
method. Automatic provisioning is an in-band, over
the air, distribution. For tunnel authentication, only
support "Generic Token Card" authentication now.
• MD5-Challenge: Message Digest Challenge.
Challenge is an EAP authentication type that provides
base-level EAP support. It provides for only one-way
authentication - there is no mutual authentication of
wireless client and the network.
Tunnel Authentication:
• Protocol: Tunnel protocol, List information including
EAP-MSCHAP v2, EAP-TLS/Smart card, and
Generic Token Card.
• Tunnel Identity: Identity for tunnel.
• Tunnel Password: Password for tunnel.
Session Resumption: User can click the box to enable or
disable this function.

1 Installation
To install Motorola Bluetooth, you’ll need a PC with Microsoft Windows
XP with Service Pack 2 operating system or later.
If you have installed the previous version of Motorola Bluetooth, de-install
it before installation of the new version.
To start installation, plug in your Bluetooth dongle (it must be based on
CSR Bluetooth chipset) and launch BluetoothSetup.exe from your
installation disk – the Installation Wizard will appear.
Follow the steps specified by the Installation Wizard:
• “Welcome” page
• “License Agreement” page
• “Select Destination Location” page – “C:\Program Files\
Motorola\Bluetooth,” by default
• “Select Start Menu Folder” page – “Bluetooth,” by default
On the “Ready to Install” Installation Wizard page, click the “Install”
button to start the installation process.
When the installation process has completed, click the “Finish” button.
After installation, the Motorola Bluetooth Tray icon should appear in the
System Tray and the “My Bluetooth” desktop icon should appear on your
desktop.
To un-install Motorola Bluetooth, run the un-installation wizard from the
“Start Menu” and follow the wizard instructions. To finish un-installation,
reboot the system – all remaining files will be deleted.

The “My Bluetooth” window, with no devices found, looks like the
screenshot below.
If it’s the first time you’ve opened a “My Bluetooth” window, there will
be no devices found and the “My Bluetooth” window will be empty. Press
the “F5” or Refresh button to start device discovery.
You can verify if the software is discovering devices with the Motorola
Bluetooth tray icon. A blue, blinking icon with white Bluetooth logo
indicates that device discovery is in progress.
As soon as a new device is discovered, the “My Bluetooth” window is
updated to show the device found.

When the tray icon switches from a blue revolving to a blue solid state, it
means that device discovery is finished and you can explore the found
devices.
You can view the “My Bluetooth” window in various ways. The example
window below shows device icons in groups arranged by “Device Type.”
Most Bluetooth devices require authentication (or pairing) to allow
connection. Right-click on the device you would like to pair with and
select “Secure Pair…” in the context menu.

3 Files Transfer over Bluetooth
There are two basic ways to transfer files between your PC and a
Bluetooth device:
• Using the file transfer folder on a remote device
• Using the “send-to” wizard
Using File Transfer Folder
File transfer folder provides you with the most powerful way of file
exchange. Using it, you can:
• Browse the file system on the Bluetooth device
• Transfer files between your PC and the Bluetooth device
• Manipulate objects (files and folders) on the Bluetooth device
(including object removal and the creation of new folders)
And everything noted above can be done with an easy explorer-like
interface.
To start browsing the file system on a Bluetooth device, click the
“Browse…” button in the “Files exchange” section of its services view
window.
The file structure of this Bluetooth device will appear as below. (Please
note that the files and folders on your device may be different.)

You can easily explore the device file structure in the explorer window
and transfer files between your PC and a device.
Using the Send-To Wizard
If your Bluetooth device does not have File Transfer Folder, or if you
prefer a wizard-like interface, the “Send File to Bluetooth Device” wizard
can be used to send files to other Bluetooth devices.
To launch the wizard, click the “Send…” button in the “Files exchange”
section of its services view window.
The “Send File to Bluetooth Device” wizard will appear.
