User’s Guide11. Introduction1.1 Bluetooth TechnologyThe term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for thewireless exchange of data between two devices. In order to exchangedata, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection. Before aconnection is established, one device must request a connectionwith 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 the server.Many Bluetooth devices can act as both client and server.A client Bluetooth device runs a software program that re-quests a connection to another device as part of its normal operation.For example, the program may request a connection to a remotecomputer, a printer, or a modem. Becoming a Bluetooth clientnormally requires an action by the device operator, such as anattempt to browse a remote computer, print a file, or dial out on amodem.Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be pre-pared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth software isalways running in the background on the server, ready to respond toconnection requests.1.2 MSI™ Bluetooth USB DongleMSI™ Bluetooth USB Dongle provides wireless technologythat revolutionizes personal connectivity. It is the solution for theseamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personalcomputers, enabling short-range wireless connections between desk-top/laptop computers, Bluetooth-enabled peripherals (printers,faxes,...), portable handheld devices, and connectivity to theInternet.6970Bv1.0.p65 2005/4/8, 下午 03:091

User’s Guide93. Software Operations3.1 Introduction to BlueSoleil™BlueSoleil is a Windows-based software from IVT that allowsyour Bluetooth® enabled desktop or notebook computer towirelessly connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices.BlueSoleil allows MS Windows users to wirelessly access awide variety of Bluetooth enabled digital devices, such ascameras, mobile phones, headsets, printers, and GPSreceivers. You can also form networks and exchange datawith other Bluetooth enabled computers or PDAs.Platforms supported by BlueSoleil include: Windows 98SE,ME, 2000, and XP.1. Bluetooth FunctionsIn order to connect and share services via Bluetooth wirelesstechnology, two devices must support the same BluetoothProfile(s) as well as opposite device roles (i.e., one must bethe server, and the other must be the client). Bluetoothenabled devices often support multiple profiles, and if in-volved in multiple connections, can perform different de-vice roles simultaneously.BlueSoleil supports the following Bluetooth functions(Profiles) in the following device roles:6970Bv1.0.p65 2005/4/8, 下午 03:099

In the Send My Business Card field, browse to select a contact as your default business card.10. Personal Area NetworkingThe Bluetooth Personal Area Networking (PAN) Profileenables PCs, laptops, PDAs, and other Bluetooth enableddevices to form either of two kinds of PAN networks. In aGroup ad-hoc Network (GN), which functions as an isolatednetwork, multiple PAN Users (PANUs) are linked togethervia a GN controller. Alternatively, a PAN can consist ofmultiple PANUs linked to a Network Access Point (NAP),which provides access to external Local Area Network (LAN)infrastructure. BlueSoleil supports all three of these deviceroles — GN (controller), PANU, and NAP.Typical Usage- Group Ad-hoc Network (Peer-to-peer networking) One device acts as the GN, and others function as PANU devices. These computers can visit each other or use an application based on TCP/IP.- Access a LAN via a Network Access Point (or a Computer Acting as a NAP) After the computers connect to the NAP, they become members of the LAN and can directly com- municate with other computers in the LAN.6970Bv1.0.p65 2005/4/8, 下午 03:0929
