IntroductionNokia Connectivity Card is a PC Card (and a Compact Flash) device that establishes a wireless radio link(Bluetooth) between PCs with PC card or Compact Flash™ (CF+™) slot using Bluetooth wirelesstechnology. Bluetooth wireless technology provides a virtual network of devices that can exchange datausing microwave radio frequency, 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM band.The purpose of this product is to enhance people’s daily data communication life by removing cables andthus adding freedom and flexibility. With Nokia Connectivity Card and Bluetooth compatible phones orother devices user can handle emails, web browsing, fax and calendar and contact synchronizing filetransfer easily without physical cable connection and direct line-of-sight.Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity. The main members of Bluetooth consortium areNokia, Ericsson, IBM, Intel and Toshiba. Afterwards companies like 3Com, Psion, Dell, Compaq, Casioand Seiko-Epson have also joined to Bluetooth. Bluetooth technology allows for the replacement of themany proprietary cables that connect one device to another with one universal short-range radio link (radiorange up to 10m). This enlarges freedom and flexibility of using different devices and peripherals. Forinstance, phone number and calendar data can be easily transferred from mobile phone to laptop and viceversa. Bluetooth technology doesn’t require line-of-sight connection as infrared does. 360 degrees offreedom makes Bluetooth devices extremely flexible and easy to use. To achieve real benefit for user, thekey characteristics of Bluetooth devices would be interoperability, reliability and simplicity.Bluetooth ConnectivityThe Nokia Connectivity Card employs the data transmission capabilities of a Bluetooth Connectivity inorder to send and receive data, to browse the Internet, and to establish connections with other computers,for example.Data connections can be made from most locations where your Nokia Connectivity Card operates.However, it is recommended that you move the Nokia Connectivity Card to a location where the strongestpossible signal can be obtained. When the signal is strong, data transmission is efficient.The following factors may impair wireless connections:NoiseElectronic appliances and equipment can cause radio interference. Also in areas where Nokia ConnectivityCards are prevalent, other Nokia Connectivity Cards can impair the wireless connection.Electrostatic dischargeA discharge of static electricity from a finger or a conductor may cause erroneous functions in electricaldevices. The discharge may result in unstable software operation. Network connections may becomeunreliable, data may be corrupted, and the transmission halted. In this case, end the existing connection (ifany), stop the Nokia Connectivity Card, and remove it from the PC card slot. Then re-insert the NokiaConnectivity Card into the PC card slot and try connecting again.Dead spots and dropoutsDead spots are areas where radio signals cannot be received. Dropouts occur when the NokiaConnectivity Card user passes through an area where the radio signal is blocked or reduced bygeographical or structural obstructions, such as concrete walls.Signal impairmentDistance and obstacles can cause out-of-phase reflected signals that result in a loss of signal strength.
Low signal strengthDue to either distance or obstacles, the radio signal strength from an access point may not be strong orstable enough to provide a reliable wireless connection for communication. Therefore, to ensure the bestpossible communication, remember to consider the following points:•  Data connection works best when the Nokia Connectivity Card is in a stationary position.•  Do not place the Nokia Connectivity Card on a metal surface.Important!Warning: Do not use the Nokia Connectivity Card when the use of a wireless device is prohibited or whenit may cause interference or danger. Note that the Nokia Connectivity Card may cause similar interferenceas a cellular device and must not be used in areas where the use of a cellular device is prohibited.Warning: Be careful when moving your computer so that you do not cause damage to the protruding endof the inserted Nokia Connectivity Card.Warning: In Europe, this equipment is intended to be used in the following EU Member States: Austria,Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain,Sweden, and United Kingdom. This equipment can also be used in Norway and Switzerland.Warning: Use the Nokia Connectivity Card in the specified countries only. Using the Nokia ConnectivityCard in any other country or with an incorrect country setting may be illegal.Note: The Nokia Connectivity Card does not encrypt Transmitted data by default. For more informationabout security in data transmission, please visit www.nokia.com.SecurityThe Bluetooth specification includes security features at the link level. It supports authentication(unidirectional or mutual) and encryption. These features are based on a secret link key that is shared by apair of devices. To generate this key a pairing procedure is used when the two devices communicate forthe first time.AntennasThe Nokia DTL-1 Nokia Connectivity Card is equipped with one internal antenna. As with any other radiotransmitting device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the Nokia Connectivity Card is in use.Contact with the antenna affects the quality of the transmission and may cause the Nokia Connectivity Cardto not operate properly.Note: Do not cover the antenna.Warning: The use of any other type of accessories will invalidate any approval or warranty applying to theNokia Connectivity Card and may be dangerous.Note: For availability of approved accessories, please check with your dealer.
Getting startedInstallationFor instructions on installing the Nokia DTL-1, please see the separate Installation guide on the CD-ROM.Bluetooth Neighborhood IntroductionWith the Bluetooth Software Suite, you can establish wireless links between your computer and otherBluetooth enabled devices. Without using a cable, you can for example:•  Transfer objects and files•  Access the Internet by means of dial-up networking;•  Connect to local area networks•  Send fax messages, using the fax software of your computer;•  Establish Bluetooth ad hoc networks consisting of two or more Bluetooth devices;•  Connect to serial devices (legacy applications).Most operations are carried out from an application called the Bluetooth Neigborhood. The basic functionsof the Bluetooth Neighborhood include three steps:1. Carrying out device discovery, i.e. finding out which remote Bluetooth devices are available within yourrange2. Carrying out service discovery, i.e. finding out which services/applications a remote device facilitates3. Establishing links to remote devices.The Bluetooth Neighborhood should be seen as an equivalent to the Network Neighborhood. The latter isan ordinary network, the Bluetooth Neighborhood is a wireless network of the Bluetooth devices withinrange.Opening Bluetooth NeighborhoodThe Bluetooth Neighborhood and Windows Explorer are highly integrated. Therefore, Windows Explorer isthe natural place to open the Bluetooth Neighborhood: Open Windows Explorer, and select the BluetoothNeighborhood among the folders in Windows. Alternatively, you can open the Bluetooth Neighborhoodfrom the shortcut placed on your desktop during the installation.
Bluetooth Neighborhood windowWhen you open the Bluetooth Neighborhood, the following window appears * :The figures 1-7 refer to the following explanations:* The first time you open the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you will not see any remote Bluetooth devices. Todiscover the remote devices within range, press F5. For information on the contents of the list view, see thesection “List view”. Note also that as the setup of the window depends on your Windows Explorer setup,the components in the above example may not be exactly the ones shown on your screen.1: Menu bar: Contains standard Windows pull-down menus and a Bluetooth menu. We will deal with theBluetooth menu in later sections. Furthermore, from the menu bar, you can access the Bluetooth SoftwareSuite online help.2: Tool bar: Contains standard Windows tools like Back, Forward, View, etc. In addition, the bar containssuch Bluetooth tools as Device Discovery and Disconnect.3: Address bar: Shows which item is currently selected. Also, from this bar you can browse in WindowsExplorer.4: View details: Appears when on the View menu you have selected the item View Details. You will seevarious informations on the items in the list view. For more information, see the section "View details".5: Local Profiles/Local Services bar: Shows the local profiles or the local services that your Bluetoothdevice supports. For more information, see the section "Profiles and services".6: Status bar: Provides information on the item currently selected in the Bluetooth Neighborhood.7: List view: Shows you the contents of the folder, remote device, etc. currently selected. See the section"List view".The setup of the Bluetooth Neighborhood window depends on your Windows Explorer setup. Thus, theabove example does not show all the standard Windows components that may be added to the window.Profiles and servicesInteroperability depends on profilesAny Bluetooth device has at least one profile, i.e. an application that you can use the device for. When twodevices are to interoperate, i.e. communicate with each other, they must have a shared profile. If, forinstance, you want to transfer a file from one Bluetooth enabled computer to another, both computers mustsupport the profile OBEX File Transfer. The Bluetooth Software Suite supports a number of profiles, calledyour Local Profiles. You will find these on the Local Profiles bar.
Services are used for link establishmentWhile the function of the Local Profiles bar is to display the profiles your device supports, the LocalServices bar is what you will actually be using when operating the Bluetooth Neighborhood. Facilitated by aprofile, each of the services represents a specific operation that your device can carry out. An example ofa service is file transfer. You can transfer files between§ between your computer and other Bluetoothdevices supporting the File Transfer profile.For the Local Profiles bar, click Local Profiles.For the Local Services bar, click Local Services.For a complete list of the profiles that your Bluetooth device supports, including which services each profilefacilitates, see “Appendix A: Profiles”.List viewThe list view in the main window contains three elements: My Inbox, MyShared Files, and a list ofdiscovered remote devices. When an item is selected in the BluetoothNeighborhood, for instance My Inbox or a remote device, the list view willdisplay the contents of that item. (In this connection, the contents of aremote device are the services it supports).My Inbox:This is where your device receives objects like electronic business cards,messages, notes, and calendar objects. My Inbox is a folder of files likeany other Windows folder, and its contents can be copied, renamed,dragged and dropped etc. (For more information, see the section“Receiving objects”.)My Shared Files:In this folder, you can make files available to remote users. When aremote user has carried out service discovery on your device, he will beable to open your folder My Shared Files and the files you have placed init. Also, remote users can place files in your folder My Shared Files and – if allowed – delete files (see “FileTransfer Settings” for information on the security aspects of receiving files). Finally, if a remote devicesends a file to your device, it is received in My Shared Files. Like My Inbox, you can manipulate My SharedFiles like any Windows folder. For more information, see the section “File transfer”.Remote devices or services:The devices shown in the main window list view are the remote Bluetooth devices that your device hasdiscovered during device discovery. The icons show what kind of device each remote device is (deviceclass), like the desktop and laptop computer icons in the following example:A question mark is used to show that the device class is unknown:
Furthermore, the icons indicate it whether or not a device is within range as follows:  Within rangeOut of rangeNote: The list view does not show your local device, only remote ones.When service discovery has been carried out on a remote device, the list view will change to showing theservices facilitated by the remote device in question. Each service is represented by an icon, for instanceDUN (dial-up networking) and FAX:Appendix B contains a complete list of the various remote device and service icons.Finally, the icons will indicate “linked” and “bonded” as follows: LinkedBonded Linked and bondedThe list view settings can be changed like other Windows list view settings; you can for instance change thesize of the icons or have the elements displayed as a list. For information on settings specifically relevant inconnection with the Bluetooth Software Suite, see the section “View details”.Basic functionsNaming your local deviceBefore you start communicating with remote users, you should select the name that you want your deviceto present itself with when discovered by remote devices. To do so:1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties:
The following dialog box opens:2. At the top of the dialog box, click the tab Settings.3. In the item Bluetooth Device Name, type the name you want your device to present itself with whendiscovered by devices, for instance “Nokia DTL-1”:4. Click OK.Other Bluetooth devices discovering your device will now see it as "Marco's laptop".
For information on the item Bluetooth Device Class in the dialog box shown above, see the section“Bluetooth Neighborhood properties” –  “Settings”.Device discoveryBefore your local device can get to communicate with a remote Bluetooth device, it needs to discover theremote devices that are available within range. This activity is called device discovery.To carry out device discovery: On the Bluetooth menu, click Device Discovery.Or click Device Discovery button on the menubar.While your device is looking for remote devices, the following dialog box will show the progress of thedevice discovery:When the device discovery has been carried out, the list view will show which remote devices within rangeare currently available. Also, you can see the previously discovered devices that are no longer available (cf.the section "List view"):
Note: The main window list view does not show your local device, only the discovered remote ones.Alternative ways of carrying out device discovery:•  When the main window list view (with discovered devices) is displayed, press F5. This will updatethe list view.•  On the tool bar, click the tool button Device Discovery.Service discoveryBefore trying to establish a link to a remote device, it may be useful to know which services the devicefacilitates. To find out, you can carry out service discovery. Double-click the remote device in the mainwindow list view, for instance the one named "Nokia 6210":When the service discovery has been carried out, the list view will show the services that the remote devicesupports:In some cases, it may not be possible to carry out service discovery. There could be a number of reasonsfor this: The remote user may have set up his device to reject link establishment attempts (cf. “Trust”), thedistance between the two devices may be too far, etc. If service discovery (or any other activity) is notcarried out successfully, a message box will let you know what went wrong.
Link establishmentWhen you have carried out service discovery, you can establish a link to the remote device. You can makeuse of any service that both your device and the remote device support. Drag the local service to thecorresponding remote service:In the above example, a DUN (dial-up networking) link is being established by dragging the local DUNservice to the remote DUN service. (The remote device could be a computer with access to a modem,which would allow you to access the Internet.)Alternatively, if you know in advance that a remote device supports a particular service, you can skipservice discovery. Just drag the local service to the remote device:In this example, a DUN link is being established by dragging the local DUN service to the remote device.For information on how to make use of each of the local services when a link has been established, refer tothe section about the local service inquestion. If link establishment is not carried out successfully: Theremote user may have set up his device to reject link establishment attempts (cf. “Trust”), the distancebetween the two devices may be too far, etc. A message box will let you know what went wrong.DisconnectingTo disconnect a link established to a remote device:1. Select (click) the remote device or services that you want your device to disconnect from.2. On the Bluetooth menu, click the item Disconnect:
Alternatively, double-click the remote service that your local device is connected to. The link will now bedisconnected.Status informationThe Bluetooth Neighborhood status bar provides you with information on the item currently selected in theBluetooth Neighborhood, like the name of a remote device (“Marko’s Laptop”) or My Inbox. Also, messageboxes keep you informed of the progress of any activity, and let you know if anything goes wrong. Thefollowing example is a message box showing that the local device is being disconnected from a remoteone:View detailsOne of the Windows-like features of the Bluetooth Software Suite is the possibility of changing the settingsof the list view. What is of special interest, however, is the Details information of the list view:1. On the menu bar, click View.2. Click Details.Alternatively, on the tool bar, click the List icon the appropriate number of times until the details aredisplayed:The type of details displayed depends on the contents of the list view: remote devices, remote services, orthe contents of My Inbox or My Shared Files.Details concerning remote devicesIn the main window, the list view can display information on each of the remote devices discovered:
• Name: The name the remote user has chosen for his device to present itself with when discoveredby other devices.• Class: The type of the remote device (device class), for instance a desktop computer, a laptop, ora mobile phone.• Status: Whether the remote device is within range or not.• Bonding: Whether or not your local device and the remote one have bonded. See the section“Bonding”.• Role: Shows if the remote device is the master or a slave in the piconet.Details concerning remote servicesWhen you have carried out service discovery on a remote device, the list view can display the followinginformation on the services that the remote device supports:• Name: The name of the remote service.• Description: The name of the profile that supports the remote service. If your device features thesame profile, interoperability between the two devices is possible.• Status: Whether or not the remote service is connected to your device.Details concerning My Inbox and My Shared FilesIf you have opened My Inbox or My Shared Files, you can get the same information on each of thereceived objects or files that you can get in standard Windows folders:
• Name: The name given to the object or file when it was saved.• Size: The size of the object or folder.• Type: The type of the object or folder, for instance “vCard File” or like the business card in theabove example.• Modified: The date when the object or file was last saved.Device foldersWhat is a device folder?In the Bluetooth Neighborhood main list view, you can create device folders: folders containing a number ofremote devices. You can communicate with a device folder as with any single remote device. When doingso, you will be communicating with all the devices in the folder at the same time. This feature makes it easyto distribute objects and files to more than one device at a time.How to create a device folder:1. Open the Bluetooth Neighborhood main window.2. On the Bluetooth menu, click Create New Device Folder.A new folder will appear in the list view:The default name of the folder is New Folder. However, you can rename the folder like any Windows folderby selecting it, clicking F2, and typing the name you want.3. Drag the remote devices you want to the device folder. This is a standard Windows drag-and-dropoperation; to move a number of remote devices at the same time, hold down the CTRL key, click eachremote device, and then drag the selected remote devices to the folder.You can create as many device folders as you like, and you can include as many devices in each folder asyou like.Communicating with a device folder is done in exactly the same way as with a single remote device. In thefollowing example, a business card is being dragged to the device folder named “Conference”.Each of the remote devices included in the device folder “Conference” will now receive the business card.Local servicesObject transferWith the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you can transfer such objects as business cards, e-mail messages,calendar objects, and notes. If Microsoft Outlook is installed on your computer, that is where you createand send objects. If Microsoft Outlook is not installed on your computer, you can use the Object Editorincluded in the Bluetooth Software Suite.
Making default business card availableBefore your business card can be transferred to a remote device, it needs to be included as a service onyour Local Services bar. This will allow remote users to pull your business card, i.e. transfer it to theirdevices. Also, you can push the business card yourself, i.e. transfer it to remote devices. Finally, pullingand pushing can take place in one and the same operation: exchanging business cards. Both you and aremote user can do this. If Microsoft Outlook is installed on your computer, you can create a business cardin Contacts, and then drag it into the Bluetooth Neighborhood. If Microsoft Outlook is not installed, you canuse the Object Editor. Both ways of making your default business card available on the Local Services barwill be explained in the following.From Microsoft Outlook1. Open both the Bluetooth Neighborhood and Microsoft Outlook.2. Arrange the Bluetooth Neighborhood and Microsoft Outlook, Contacts windows so that both are visibleon the screen:3. Drag the item containing your own contact information into the Local Services bar:
A new icon on the Local Services bar shows that your default business card is now available for transfer toremote devices:From the Object EditorAn alternative way of registering your default business card is by means of the Object Editor. To open theObject Editor:1. On the Bluetooth menu, point to Profile Properties, and click OBEX Object Push.The OBEX Object Push Properties dialog box opens:2. At the top of the dialog box, click the tab Object Push Settings.
3. In the item Default Business Card, click the button Create New. The Object Editor opens:4. In the Object Editor, type the information you want to include in your default business card. You caninclude information about your name and one or more e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, andaddresses.5. To save the business card: On the Object Editor File menu, click Save.
6. To quit the Object Editor: Click the OK button. You will now return to the dialog box OBEX Object PushProperties – Object Push Settings. Here you will see the name of your default business card, which is thesame as the name typed in the Object Editor.If you want to view or edit the default location of the business card, click the “ ... “ button.7. To complete the creation of the new default business card: Click the OK button.A new icon on the Local Services bar shows that your default business card is now available for transfer toremote devices:Editing an existing business card in the Object Editor:As appears from the information above, the Object Editor can be used to create a new default businesscard. Furthermore, you can use the Object Editor to edit an existing business card. The procedure is almostthe same as that described above; however, in step 3, click Edit (instead of Create New).Business card transferBefore your default business card can be transferred to remote devices, you must make it available amongyour local services as described in the section "Making default business card available".To send your business card to a remote device, drag the card icon to the remote Inbox folder or remotedevice (or device folder). In the following example, the business card is being dragged to a remote devicenamed “John's laptop”:If the link is established successfully, the remote device will now receive your business card in its BluetoothNeighborhood Inbox.For the choice of sending, receiving, or exchanging business cards with another user, right-click the remotedevice, and point to Business Card:
You can now choose:•  To transfer your business card (included on the Local Services bar) to the remote device: ClickPush business card.•  To transfer the remote user’s business card to your device: Click Pull business card.•  To exchange business cards with the remote user: click Exchange business cards.Sending objects directly from MS OutlookMicrosoft Outlook users can send objects (like messages or notes) directly from Microsoft Outlook: Dragthe object either to the remote Inbox folder or to the remote device (or device folder):In the above example, an e-mail message is being forwarded from the Microsoft Outlook inbox to theremote Bluetooth device.Receiving objectsWhen your local Bluetooth device receives an object (a default business card, message, note, or calendarobject) from a remote device, the object is placed in My Inbox.
If you have Microsoft Outlook: When you double-click a received object, it will open in MicrosoftOutlook.If you do not have Microsoft Outlook: When you double-click a received object, it will open in the ObjectEditor.You can open a received object directly from My Inbox, or you can drag the object to wherever you want tostore it. In the following example, an object is being dragged from My Inbox to the Desktop:Creating objects in the Object EditorIf Microsoft Outlook is not installed on your computer, you may use the Object Editor to create objects –messages, notes, and cards. Note that objects created in the Object Editor are not saved as objects but asfiles. You can then transfer these files as you would any file in the Bluetooth Neighborhood (cf. “Filetransfer”).1. To open the Object Editor: Click Start, point to Programs, point to Bluetooth Software Suite ..., andclick Object Editor:The Object Editor opens:
2. To create an object in the Object Editor:Click File, point to New, and click the kind of object you want to create, for instance a VMessage:Cards are created in the Object Editor itself (by typing the information you want to include); messages andnotes are created in a new window. The following example shows the window that pops up on clickingVMessage as shown above:3. Type the information you want to be included in the object.4. To save the object:a. If it is a message or a note, in the window where you typed the contents, click File and Save As.b. If it is a card, in the Object Editor, click File and Save. A new dialog box pops up. In the followingexample, a message is about to be saved:5. Select the location and name of the new file.6. Click Save.When you have saved the file, you can transfer it like any file using the Bluetooth Neighborhood. For moreinformation, see “File transfer”.File transferFile transfer is a way of sharing files with others. In the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you can make a fileavailable to a remote user by placing it in the folder My Shared Files:
When a remote user has carried out service discovery on your device, he can open your folder My SharedFiles and the files in it. Furthermore, he can add and delete files if he is allowed to do so (for information onthe security aspects of My Shared Files, see the section “File Transfer Settings”).Finally, if a remote device sends a file to your local device, it is received in My Shared Files.Making a file available in My Shared FilesPlacing a file in My Shared Files is easily done by dragging the file from where it is stored to the folder MyShared Files. Or you can open My Shared Files first, and then drag the file to the list view displaying thecontents of My Shared Files.In the above example, a file is being dragged from the desktop to the list view displaying the contents of MyShared Files.When a remote user opens your folder My Shared Files, he will have access to the file you placed in it.Sending a file to a remote deviceIf you want to transfer a file to the Shared Files folder of a remote device, you can do so in a number ofways:•  Drag the file from where it is stored to the remote device (or device folder):In the above example, a file is being dragged from My Documents to the remote device.•  First carry out service discovery on the remote device; then open the remote Shared Files folder;
In the above example, a file is being dragged from My Documents to the Shared Files folder of the remotedevice.•  First carry out service discovery on the remote device; then open the remote Shared Files folder;finally drag the file from where it is stored to the list view displaying the contents of the remoteShared Files folder: finally drag the file from where it is stored to the list view displaying the contentsof the remote Shared Files folder.In the above example, a file is being dragged from the Desktop into the contents of the remote SharedFiles folder.No matter which way you choose to transfer a file to a remote device, the user of that device will receivethe file in his Shared Files folder.Receiving filesWhen your local Bluetooth device receives a file sent from a remote device, the file is placed in My SharedFiles.You can then open the received file directly from My Shared Files, or you can drag the file to wherever youwant to store it. In the following example, a file is being dragged from My Shared Files to My Documents.
Bluetooth COM portsGeneral informationWhat is a Bluetooth COM port?Physical communications (COM) ports are used when two serial devices are connected by means of acable. A Bluetooth COM port, however, is a virtual COM port providing a wireless alternative to a physicalone.  Bluetooth COM ports make it possible to connect to almost any Bluetooth enabled serial application(legacy application) that would otherwise have been connected using a cable and a physical COM port.Some profiles require a Bluetooth COM portAs Bluetooth links are wireless, you need no physical COM port to connect to a remote device. However,in connection with some of your local profiles, you need a Bluetooth COM port. This provides an address,so to speak, needed by your legacy application to establish a link to a remote device.Note: Most users need not worry about Bluetooth COM ports at all; the default settings ensure that you canuse all your Local Services without having to make any Bluetooth COM port settings.The following services are supported by profiles that are associated with a Bluetooth COM port:•  DUN (Dial-up Networking Profile)•  FAX (Fax Profile)•  LAN (LAN Access Profile)•  Default business card (OBEX Object Push)•  File transfer (OBEX File Transfer)Furthermore, the Serial Port Profile is used in connection with Bluetooth COM ports.Except for the Serial Port Profile, the above-mentioned profiles are associated with the Bluetooth COMports 7, 8, and 9 by default. You can change these settings, if you like. For more information, see thesection “Bluetooth COM port settings”.New Bluetooth COM ports and interoperabilitySome users may want to add one or more additional Bluetooth COM ports to the computer. This isnecessary if you want to make use of the Serial Port Profile, for instance to use a serial application likeHyperTerminal to transfer data between two Bluetooth enabled computers.The same profile must be associated with the local Bluetooth COM port and the remote one you want toconnect to. Therefore, before you can establish a serial Bluetooth COM port link to a remote device, youmust associate the Serial Port Profile with a Bluetooth COM port, and then add the Bluetooth COM port toyour computer. For link establishment to be possible, the remote device must have a Bluetooth COM portwith the Serial Port associated with it, too.In "Bluetooth COM port settings" we will look into how you can add and remove Bluetooth COM ports, andchange the settings concerning which profiles are associated with which Bluetooth COM ports.Bluetooth COM port settingsBefore you can make use of a Bluetooth COM port link, you must associate one or more appropriateprofiles with a Bluetooth COM port and then add the COM port to your Local Services bar (cf. “BluetoothCOM ports” – “General information”). These settings are made by means of the Bluetooth ConfigurationTool. Opening the Bluetooth Configuration Tool:
1. Open the Microsoft Control Panel.2. Double-click Bluetooth Configuration Tool.The Bluetooth Configuration Tool dialog box opens:Adding Bluetooth COM portsTo add a Bluetooth COM port:1. In the Bluetooth Configuration Tool window, click Add. The following dialog box opens:2. Use the arrows to go to the Bluetooth COM port you want to add and the profile you want to associatewith it. In the above example, the Serial Port Profile is being associated with Bluetooth COM port 10.Note: Some programs (like HyperTerminal) cannot detect COM ports higher than 4.You will only be allowed to add Bluetooth COM ports that are not already in use. Only available BluetoothCOM ports will appear on the list in the above dialog box.3. To confirm the settings, click Add. The new Bluetooth COM port will now be included on the BluetoothNeighborhood Local Services bar:Note: Before you can use the new Bluetooth COM port, you have to restart your computer.Note: Windows NT users will not see the new Bluetooth COM port icon on the local services bar until thecomputer has been restarted.
Deleting Bluetooth COM portsIf you want to delete a Bluetooth COM that you no longer need:1. In the Bluetooth Configuration Tool window, highlight the Bluetooth COM port you want to delete, forinstance COM6:2. Click Remove. The following dialog box opens:3. To confirm that you want to delete the Bluetooth COM port, click Yes.The Bluetooth COM port will now be removed from the Local Services bar.Note: Windows NT users have to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.Associating and removing profiles from existing Bluetooth COM portsIn the Bluetooth Configuration Tool, you can see which profiles are associated with which Bluetooth COMports. You change these settings so as to associate the profiles you need with an existing Bluetooth COMport. Also, you can remove a profile from a Bluetooth COM port.In the following example, it appears that the Dial-Up Networking Profile is associated with Bluetooth COMport 8:
To change the settings:1. In Existing COM ports, click the Bluetooth COM port in question.2. In Associated Profiles, check the profiles you want to associate with the Bluetooth COM port, orremove the ones you no longer want to be associated with it.3. Click OK.Note: Windows NT users have to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.Bluetooth COM port link establishmentWhen you have added a Bluetooth COM port to the Local Services bar (as described in the section“Bluetooth COM port settings”), you can establish a link to a remote device.Drag the Bluetooth COM port icon to the remote device (or device folder):Alternatively, carry out service discovery, then drag the local Bluetooth COM port icon to a remoteBluetooth COM port icon:The link established between your local device and the remote one can now be used exactly as if it were awired link.

To open this dialog box:1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties.2. Click the tab Security.• Security Mode can be set to either No Security or Link level security.
If a device has selected link level security, no remote device can connect to it without bonding (see“Bonding”. ) Furthermore, only when you have selected link level security can you use encryption (seebelow).• Encryption Mode can be enabled or disabled. Based on the use of a link key, this feature can onlybe enabled when link level security has been selected (see above).If encryption is enabled: When your device is communicating, only the linked devices will be able tounderstand the data sent between them.• Connectability Mode refers to whether or not remote devices having discovered your  device willbe allowed to establish a link to it. In other words, selecting non-connectable  mode is a way ofensuring that no remote device can connect to your device.• Discoverability Mode refers to whether or not other devices will be allowed to discover yourdevice. In other words, selecting non-discoverable mode is a way of preventing remote devicesfrom discovering your device.The default settings are as shown in the examples (the illustrations) above.BondingBonding refers to the creation of a link key –a bond – between two devices. Bonding is used when a devicerequires link level security (see “Security” for information on how to do so). When a remote deviceattempts to connect to the device requiring link level security, the users of both devices will be prompted fora password. They must then enter the same password.The purpose of bonding is for two devices to be able to identify each other so that no remote device canconnect without knowing the right password. This may be convenient if for instance you do not want anyother device than your own Bluetooth enabled phone to be able to connect to your computer. Other devicestrying to connect will be prompted for the password, which prevents them from interfering in the connection.The duration of the bonding can be set to last beyond the current link; if so, the two devices will only beprompted for the password the first time they connect, i.e. when creating the bond. Both when creating thebond and when making use of an existing one, both devices must be in bondable mode. Below you will findinformation on how to set both bonding mode and duration.Settings concerning bonding are done in the Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties – Bonding dialog box. Toopen this:1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties.2. Click the tab Bonding.
• In Bluetooth Bonding, you can decide whether or not your device should be able to bond to otherdevices.The default setting is bondable mode.

GlossaryAd hocOne of the two operating modes that can be selected when using the Nokia DTL-1. With this configurationoption, users can set up a wireless network where wireless stations can send and receive data directly witheach other without access points. This type of network is sometimes called a peer-to-peer network.BandwidthQuantitative difference between the limiting  frequencies of a frequency band.ChannelA specified frequency band for the transmission and reception of signals.Coverage areaGeographical area within which service from a radio communications facility can be received.BluetoothBluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity. The main members of Bluetooth consortium areNokia, Ericsson, IBM, Intel and Toshiba. Afterwards companies like 3Com, Psion, Dell, Compaq, Casioand Seiko-Epson have also joined to Bluetooth. Bluetooth technology allows for the replacement of themany proprietary cables that connect one device to another with one universal short-range radio link (radiorange up to 10m). This enlarges freedom and flexibility of using different devices and peripherals. Forinstance, phone number and calendar data can be easily transferred from mobile phone to laptop and viceversa. Bluetooth technology doesn’t require line-of-sight connection as infrared does. 360 degrees offreedom makes Bluetooth devices extremely flexible and easy to use.ProfileAny Bluetooth device has at least one profile, i.e. an application that you can use the device for. When twodevices are to interoperate, i.e. communicate with each other, they must have a shared profile. If, forinstance, you want to transfer a file from one Bluetooth enabled computer to another, both computers mustsupport the profile OBEX File Transfer.RangeThe distance that radios signal travels from a radio transmitter before becoming too weak for a radioreceiver to identify it.
