GLOSSARY ........................................................................................... 49 vi User’s Guide 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Bluetooth Technology The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices. In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request a connection with another. The second device accepts (or rejects) the connection. The originator of the request is known as the client. The device that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server. Many Bluetooth devices can act as both client and server. A client Bluetooth device runs a software program that requests a connection to another device as part of its normal operation. For example, the program may request a connection to a remote computer, a printer, or a modem. Becoming a Bluetooth client normally requires an action by the device operator, 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 be prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth software is always running in the background on the server, ready to respond to connection requests. 1.2 MSI™ PC2PC Bluetooth MSI™ PC2PC Bluetooth provides wireless technology that revolutionizes personal connectivity. It is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personal computers, enabling short-range wireless connections between desktop/laptop computers, Bluetooth-enabled peripherals (printers, faxes,...), portable handheld devices, and connectivity to the Internet.

PC2PC Bluetooth 2.3 Hardware Installation To integrate the PC2PC Bluetooth into your system, please follow the instructions below: 2. 1. Remove the computer case. Install the transceiving module onto your mainboard. Procedures may differ depending on the location of the bluetooth pinheader on the mainboard. Please refer to the following: For mainboards with Bluetooth pinheaders located near the PCI slots, ex: MS-6398E, secure the connector on the lower part of the transceiving module directly onto the Bluetooth pinheader. Then, fasten the transceiving module to the mainboard with a bracket screw. For mainboards with Bluetooth pinheaders located elsewhere (not near the PCI slots), ex: MS-6380E, use the linking cable to secure the identical connector on the transceiving module to the Bluetooth pinheader on the mainboard. Then, fasten the transceiving module to the mainboard with a bracket screw. User’s Guide 4. 11 5 V 3. ANT ANT Install and screw up the computer case. Locate the antenna connector on the transceiving module bracket at the back panel of the computer case. Secure the dipole an- 5. tenna to this connector and fix the antenna to a location free from signal obstruction. Concrete walls, metal substances, paints with metal composites,... etc. will cause signal obstruction and disable the Bluetooth function. Uncap the transceiving key. 6. Connect the transceiving key to the USB cable and link the USB cable to an available USB port of the target device with which you wish to establish a wireless Bluetooth connection. The target device can be a desktop PC, a laptop PC, or any other types of PCs with Windows® OS & USB ports. Avoid installing the transceiving module and the transceiving key into the same PC. In order to exchange services, at least two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection. Bluetooth function will not work if the transceiving module & the transceiving key are installed into the same device. PC2PC Bluetooth Note 1: The transceiving key and the transceiving module bracket both integrate one Green (Blue) LED & one Red LED. The Green (Blue) LED indicates the connection status. The Red LED indicates the power state. Note 2: As the Bluetooth pinheader shares the USB interface with blue-colored USB2.0 connector on the mainboard, utilization of PC2PC Bluetooth will disable the bottommost USB2.0 port. Note 3: To make sure that the hardware & software have been successfully installed, go to Control Panel after restarting your system. Double-click System and click the Device Manager tab. If the hardware & software installation is complete, the MSI USB Bluetooth Device should appear. User’s Guide 3. SOFTWARE OPERATIONS After the software has been installed as previously instructed in last chapter, My Bluetooth Places icon will be shown on the Desktop. Double-click the icon and the following main menu appears: For details on the services provided, please refer to the following passages. 3.1 Basic Operations 3.1.1 Find Bluetooth Devices “Search for Devices” looks for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays the devices it finds in My Bluetooth Places. To start the Search for Devices: *In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Devices, select (highlight) a device name *Open the Bluetooth menu and select Search for Devices. The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active. It can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular basis (Bluetooth Configuration Panel >Discovery tab). One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility the wireless connections PC2PC Bluetooth allow. However, mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during the time between the automatic updates. To be certain that the displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry is not enabled, force an update of the device list using the technique above. Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devices found because *Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices (Bluetooth Configuration Panel >Discovery tab, on your device). *The unlisted device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Accessibility tab, on the unlisted device). 3.1.2 Find A Service The process of determining the services that a device provides is called Service Discovery. To initiate a Service Discovery, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click the device and select Discover Available Services from the pop-up menu. The services supported are: *Bluetooth Serial Port—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between two devices. The connection may be used by applications as though a physical serial cable connected the devices. *Dial-up Networking—allows a Bluetooth client to use a modem that is physically attached to the Bluetooth server. *Fax—allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send a fax using a device that is physically attached to the Bluetooth server. *File Transfer—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection that allows your computer to perform file system operations on another Bluetoothenabled device—browse, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc. User’s Guide *Information Exchange—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between two devices so that they can exchange personal information manager data such as business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes. *Information Synchronization—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between two devices and uses the connection to synchronize Personal Information Manager data between the two devices. *Network Access—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between the client and a server that is physically connected to the Local Area Network. If the client has permission (user name and password for the LAN), the wireless connection can be used as if the client were hardwired to the LAN. All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services. For example, network gateways only provide access to the Local Area Network (the Network Access service). 3.1.3 Determine a Connection’s Status The Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box displays information about the state of a connection and provides a means to disconnect an active connection. To display the Connection Status dialog box *In My Bluetooth Places, from the Folders pane, select (highlight) a device. *In the right pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a service name and select Status from the pop-up menu. The information provided is *Status: Connected or Disconnected *Device Name: the name of the device to which this computer is connected. *Duration: the length of time this connection has been established, displayed in hours, minutes and seconds. Depending on the service, the connection may time out (automatically disconnect) PC2PC Bluetooth after a specific period of inactivity. *Activity: the number of bytes sent and received over the connection *Signal Strength: a variable scale that ranges from Too Weak through Good to Too Strong. To change the power transmission level of this computer: from the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Hardware tab, click the Advanced button, and then change the setting in the Maximum Power Transmission drop-down list. The controls in the Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box are *Properties button: displays the Bluetooth Properties dialog box for this connection *Disconnect button: closes this connection wherever applicable. *Stop button: disables this service wherever applicable. *Close button: closes the Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box. 3.1.4 Using the Connection Wizard The Connection Wizard walks you through the process of setting up a new Bluetooth connection with another device.

There are no options to configure on this tab. 3.5 Security 3.5.1 Introduction Each service that the server provides can be configured to require: * Authorization—the server operator must acknowledge all connection attempts before a connection is established. * Authentication—the server requires a Personal Identification Number (PIN, also referred to as a “passkey”) code or a Link Key before a connection is established. * Encryption—all data sent between the Bluetooth client and Bluetooth server is encrypted. The encryption key is based on the Authentication Link Key; Encryption requires that Authentication be enabled. The default security setting for Authorization, Authentication and Encryption is disabled. Devices can also be paired, a process that eliminates the need to enter a PIN code every time access is attempted. 36 User’s Guide 3.5.2 Authentication Authentication is used to verify identity; it requires a passkey or Link Key from the remote device. When a remote device attempts access, a visual and/or audio warning notifies the local operator. The local operator can open a dialog box that provides: * The user-friendly name of the device attempting access * A place for the local operator to enter a Bluetooth passkey. The operator of the remote system must enter the identical passkey or access is denied. If the notification is ignored, access is denied after a preset timeout. When devices are “paired,” those devices automatically exchange a Link Key and Authentication is carried out without operator intervention. 3.5.3 Authorization Authorization is yes-or-no security. A visual and/or audio warning alerts the server operator that a remote device is attempting to connect. The server operator responds by clicking the Bluetooth icon in the Windows system tray to open a dialog box that displays: * The user-friendly name of the device attempting to connect * The local service to which the remote device is attempting to connect. The server operator may grant or deny access to the service by clicking an on- 37 PC2PC Bluetooth screen button. If the server operator ignores the Authorization notification access will be denied after a preset timeout. 3.5.4 Encryption Encrypting translates data into an unreadable format using a secret key or password. Decrypting the data requires the same key or password that was used to encrypt it. Encryption in the Bluetooth is based on the same passkey or Link Key that is used for Authentication. If Authentication is not enabled the key is not available and encryption will not take place. To use Encryption, Authentication must be enabled. To enable Encryption for a service: 1. Right-click a service name and select Properties from the pop-up menu to display the Bluetooth Properties dialog box. 2. Select the Encryption option. If Authentication is not enabled it will be automatically turned on when Encryption is selected. 3. Click the OK button to close the dialog box and apply the change. 3.5.5 Levels of Security Security for local services may be configured on an individual basis. The configuration options are: * Startup-Automatic or Manual * Authorization * Authentication * Encryption To access the security settings for a local service, in the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, from the Local Services tab, double-click the service name. Bluetooth-enabled devices from different vendors may handle security in a slightly 38 User’s Guide different manner. Refer to the user’s guide for your Bluetooth device for additional information. 3.5.6 Link Key A Link Key is a unique, internally generated, access code. Link Keys are generated automatically when devices are Paired or when Authentication is enabled. Link Keys are created by combining * The Passkey * The Bluetooth Device Address * An internally generated random number. 3.5.7 Pairing Devices Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each time a connection is attempted. Paired devices share a unique Link Key, which they exchange when connecting. The mate of a pair will always appear in My Bluetooth Places, even if the mate is not turned on or is out of connection range. Paired devices remain paired even when: * One of the devices is not powered up * A service connection is interrupted or the service stopped * One or both devices are rebooted. When Authentication is enabled, devices are paired the first time they attempt to connect, after a successful passkey exchange. To pair devices before attempting a connection: 1. In the Windows System Tray, right-click the Bluetooth icon, then Setup and select Security from the submenu. 2. The Bluetooth Security dialog box appears and the Bluetooth performs a device inquiry to update the list of devices in the area after the inquiry is complete. 3. In the Found Devices pane of the dialog box, click the name of the device to be 39 PC2PC Bluetooth paired 4. Click the Execute Pairing button. 5. In the Bluetooth Passkey Request dialog box. 6. Enter the Bluetooth passkey. 7. Click the OK button. The check box on the main screen, when selected, permits all services to connect without Authorization. When devices are paired, the configuration information is saved on both devices. Devices remain paired until the relationship is broken on both devices. To break a paired device relationship * In the Windows System Tray, right-click the Bluetooth icon, then Setup and select Security from the submenu. * From the Bluetooth Security dialog box, in the Paired Devices list, select a device, click the Delete button and then click the Done button. Pairing must be broken on both devices. 3.5.8 Passkey A Passkey is an alphanumeric string up to 16 characters in length. Passkeys are also called PIN codes, or Personal Identification Numbers. 3.5.9 Security Request Dialog Box A Bluetooth Authorization or Bluetooth Passkey Request dialog box may appear (depending on security settings) when a connection is attempted if either Authorization or Authentication is enabled. The method of notification depends on the version of Windows: * Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows XP—a bubble message is displayed over the Bluetooth icon in the Windows System Tray * Windows 98SE—The Bluetooth icon in the Windows System Tray blinks. Regardless of the version of Windows, click the Bluetooth icon in the Windows 40 User’s Guide System Tray and then follow the on-screen instructions. The instructions vary, depending on the security configuration of the system. If the security notification is ignored the connection request will fail after a preset timeout. The dialog box provides * Device Name: the user-friendly name of the device attempting to connect. * Request to access: the service the remote device is attempting to access. * Buttons for responding. OK-allow the connection Cancel-deny the connection Advanced button (see below) * A check box that, when enabled, grants (authorizes) the connecting device access to all of the services on this computer (click the See Also button, below, for more information). 3.5.10 Security Request Dialog Box, Advanced Button The check box on the main page of the Bluetooth Authorization and Bluetooth Passkey Request dialog boxes (“Check this box to ALWAYS allow this device to access ALL the services of your computer”), when enabled, grants permission (authorizes) the device attempting to connect to access all services on this computer when attempting to connect in the future. To limit the services the connecting device may use: * Click the Advanced button * In the expanded dialog box, select the services that the connecting device is authorized to use. When a service is selected, that service will NOT require authorization in the future (no prompt will appear when a connection is attempted). Regardless of whether the main dialog box is for Authorization or Authentication, these options pertain to Authorization; they do not affect Authentication. * Click the Authorize or Authenticate button. 41 PC2PC Bluetooth NOTES 42 User’s Guide 4.
