INTRODUCTION1.1 MSI™ PC2PC BluetoothMSI™ PC2PC Bluetooth provides wireless technologythat revolutionizes personal connectivity. It is the solution forthe seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personalcomputers, enabling short-range wireless connections betweendesktop/laptop computers, Bluetooth-enabled peripherals(printers, faxes,...), portable handheld devices, and connec-tivity to the Internet.1.2 Bluetooth TechnologyThe term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standardfor the wireless exchange of data between two devices. In or-der to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish aconnection. Before a connection is established, one device mustrequest a connection with another. The second device accepts(or rejects) the connection.The originator of the request is known as the client. Thedevice that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as theserver. Many Bluetooth devices can act as both client andserver.A client Bluetooth device runs a software program thatrequests a connection to another device as part of its normaloperation. For example, the program may request a connec-tion to a remote computer, a printer, or a modem. Becoming aBluetooth client normally requires an action by the deviceoperator, such as an attempt to browse a remote computer,print a file, or dial out on a modem.Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must beprepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth soft-ware is always running in the background on the server, readyto respond to connection requests.2.2 Hardware SpecificationsBluetooth Transceiving KeyBluetooth Transceiving ModuleGeneralH/W Interface USBBluetooth Spec.

2.3 Hardware InstallationTo integrate the PC2PC Bluetooth into your system,please follow the instructions below:For mainboards with bluetooth pinheaders located near thePCI slots, ex: MS-6398E, secure the connector on the lowerpart of the transceiving module directly onto the bluetoothpinheader. Then, fasten the transceiving module to themainboard with a bracket screw.Remove the computer case.1.Install the transceiving module onto your mainboard. Proce-dures may differ depending on the location of the bluetoothpinheader on the mainboard. Please refer to the following:2.For mainboards with bluetooth pinheaders located elsewhere(not near the PCI slots), ex: MS-6380E, use the linking cableto secure the identical connector on the transceiving moduleto the bluetooth pinheader on the mainboard. Then, fasten thetransceiving module to the mainboard with a bracket screw.Install and screw up the computer case.3.115VANTLocate the antenna connector on the transceiving modulebracket at the back panel of the computer case. Secure thedipole antenna to this connector and fix the antenna to a loca-tion free from signal obstruction. Concrete walls, metalsubstances, paints with metal composites,... etc. will cause sig-nal obstruction and disable the bluetooth function.4.ANTUncap the transceiving key.5.Plug the transceiving key to an available USB port of the tar-get device with which you wish to establish a wireless bluetoothconnection. The target device can be a desktop PC, a laptopPC, or any other types of PCs with Windows® OS & USBports. Avoid installing the transceiving module and thetransceiving key into the same PC. “Bluetooth” refers to aworldwide standard for the wireless exchange of services be-tween two devices. In order to exchange services, two Bluetoothdevices must establish a connection. Bluetooth function willnot work if the transceiving module & the transceiving keyare installed into the same device.6.Note 1: The transceiving key and thetransceiving module bracket both integrate oneGreen (Blue) LED & one Red LED. The Green(Blue) LED indicates the connection status. TheRed LED indicates the power state.Note 2: As the bluetooth pinheader sharesthe USB interface with blue-colored USB2.0connector on the mainboard, utilization ofPC2PC Bluetooth will disable the bottommostUSB2.0 port.
1.3. SOFTWARE SETUP3.1 Driver/Software InstallationTo activate the Bluetooth service, driver/software instal-lation is required for both the server end and the client end.Driver/software installation procedures may vary dependingon the Bluetooth hardware installed. For the end withtransceiving key, please follow the overall instructions start-ing from Step 1. For the end with transceiving module, pleasego directly to Step 2.Plug the transceiving key into an available USB port ofthe target device. The following screen appears, indicatingthe detection of new hardware device by the system. ClickNext to proceed.The following dialog box appears. Select “Search for asuitable driver for my device (recommended).”In the next dialog box, clear all the check boxes and clickNext.Followingly, select “Skip driver installation of thisdevice...” and click Finish.Insert the MSI software CD.

The Security screen WILL NOTappear if the devices have been paired.5. On the last Connection Wizard screen:* The top of the screen provides basic informationabout the new connection—the name of the devicethat will provide the service and the name of theservice that will be provided. If this information isNOT correct, click the Back button to return to theprevious screen, and from that screen select the cor-rect service and device.* In the “Connection Name:” field, enter a descrip-tive name for the connection, for example, “BluetoothSerial Connection to MSI Desktop.”After a connection has been established, right-click thedevice in connection and select Discover Available Servicesfrom the pop-up menu to determine the services provided bythis device.The services supported are:*Bluetooth Serial Port—establishes a Bluetooth wire2.less connection between two devices. The connectionmay be used by applications as though a physical se-rial cable connected the devices.*Dial-up Networking—allows a Bluetooth client touse a modem that is physically attached to theBluetooth server.*Fax—allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send afax using a device that is physically attached to theBluetooth server.*File Transfer—establishes a Bluetooth wireless con-nection that allows your computer to perform file sys-tem operations on another Bluetooth-enabled device—browse, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete,rename, etc.*Information Exchange—establishes a Bluetoothwireless connection between two devices so that theycan exchange personal information manager datasuch as business cards, calendar items, emailmessages, and notes.*Information Synchronization—establishes aBluetooth wireless connection between two devicesand uses the connection to synchronize Personal In-formation Manager data between the two devices.*Network Access—establishes a Bluetooth wirelessconnection between the client and a server that isphysically connected to the Local Area Network. Ifthe client has permission (user name and passwordfor the LAN), the wireless connection can be used asif the client were hardwired to the LAN.All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all ofthese services. For example, network gateways only provideaccess to the Local Area Network (the Network Access service).For advanced operations of the Bluetooth software,please double-click My Bluetooth Places icon on yourdesktop, open the Help menu on the menu bar, andclick Help Topics.
