INTRODUCTION

The Bluetooth Technology

Bluetooth is a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two compatible

devices. It utilizes short-distance radio link technology and replaces the traditional cable

connections to enable wireless connections between desktop and laptop computers, cellular

phones, scanners, digital cameras, printers, and other devices. You can now transfer files

between two computers, dial up to the Internet using the host computer’s modem or a cell phone,

or even share a network connection without literally attaching your cables to a device. To put it

simply, Bluetooth unplugs all your cables and lets you forget about cable clutter for a change.

What is BTW

BTW is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personal computers

that the company has created. It provides you with the means to locate other Bluetooth-enabled

devices in the immediate vicinity, allowing you to make use of the services that the remote

devices offer. These services, which range from gaining access to the Internet to sending a fax

transmission, make mobile computing so much more convenient than ever before.

Installation of the Bluetooth USB dongle is easy. This user’s guide will guide you through the

process of making wireless connection between your devices.

For an overview of the features added in this version, please refer to the section What’s New on

GETTING STARTED

My Bluetooth Places

After you have successfully installed the Bluetooth software, you will see

an icon on your desktop and an icon on Window System Tray. These

are two shortcuts to My Bluetooth Places.

To start Bluetooth: Right-Click the icon on Window System Tray and select Start

The Bluetooth icon is blue in color with a white insert when Bluetooth is running.

To stop Bluetooth: Right-Click the icon on Window System Tray and select Stop.

The Bluetooth icon is blue in color with a red insert when Bluetooth is stopped.

Finding Bluetooth devices

You are now ready to search for available Bluetooth devices that are within connection range.

There are two ways to do this:

1. From your desktop, right-click My Bluetooth Places icon. First select Open, and

then select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood.

Or,

2. Double-click My Bluetooth Places. Then double-click Entire Bluetooth

Neighborhood.

You may also let BTW automatically search for devices for you. To do so, simply configure the

settings in the Discovery Panel. For details, see Configuration Panel on the following.

However, to be certain that the displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, it is

recommended that you perform a manual search. This is mainly because mobile devices may go

beyond the connection range in between automatic updates.

If you still couldn’t find some devices that are within connection range, there are two possibilities:

 Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices. (To

change this, modify your device’s configuration in the Discovery tab of the Bluetooth

Configuration Panel.)

 The remote (or unlisted) device is in the non-discoverable mode. (To change this,

modify the remote device’s configuration in the Accessibility tab of the Bluetooth

Configuration Panel.)

Finding services

After discovering the devices you can have access to, you may perform Service Discovery. Each

available device that you have discovered in the Bluetooth Neighborhood provides you with

several services.

To find out what these services are, simply do either of the following:

 Double-click a device in the Bluetooth Neighborhood, OR

 Right-click a device and select Discover Available Services.

The services that BTW supports are as follows:

Bluetooth Serial Port establishes a wireless connection between two Bluetooth

devices. The serial connection can be used by applications as though there is a serial

cable between the devices.

Dial-up Networking allows you to use a modem on another Bluetooth device to

connect to the Internet and send/receive e-mail.

Fax allows you to send a fax transmission through another Bluetooth device.

File Transfer (Public Folder) allows you to perform file system operations on another

Bluetooth device such as browse, drag-and-drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete,

rename, etc.

Headset allows a Bluetooth headset to be used as the audio input/output mechanism

for another Bluetooth device, such as a computer or cell phone.

PIM Item Transfer allows you to exchange Personal Information Manager (PIM) data

such as business cards, calendar items, e-mail messages, and notes.

PIM Synchronization allows you to synchronize Personal Information Manager (PIM)

data between two Bluetooth devices.

Network Access allows you to gain access to the Internet using another Bluetooth

device’s Local Area Network (LAN) connection.

Audio Gateway allows the microphone/speakers on Bluetooth device (typically a

computer) to be used as the audio input/output mechanism for a remote Bluetooth

device, such as a cell phone.

Note: Not all Bluetooth devices provide all of these services. For instance, network gateways

only displays the Network Access service to let you have access to the Local Area Network

(LAN) connection.

Setting up a connection

Now that you know how to discover available devices and their services, you are now ready to

make a Bluetooth connection with another device.

CLIENT APPLICATIONS

About Client and Server

Before we start discussing about what each of the services does, let us briefly tell you a bit about

Client and Server since we will be mentioning a lot of these two in this chapter.

In order for two Bluetooth devices to exchange data, they must establish a connection. However,

before a connection is established, one device must request a connection with the other. This is

the Client.

The second device that accepts or rejects the connection is then known as the Server. Many

Bluetooth devices can act as both client and server.

Human Interface Device

The Human Interface Device (HID) Application allows this computer to wireless use one or more

remote Bluetooth HIDs as input/output devices.

For example, the HID Application allows this computer to use a Bluetooth keyboard and a

Bluetooth mouse.

Create a Bluetooth HID connection:

Note: Some HIDs have multiple modes. Before establishing a connection, be sure the HID is in

the desired mode. For example, in the case of an HID that can function as both mouse and a

laser printer, be sure the mode switch is set to “Mouse” before attempting to connect.

1. On the Client, open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking the icon on your

desktop.

2. Select Enter Bluetooth Neighborhood.

3. Right-click anywhere except on a device name and select Refresh from the pop-

up menu to see an updated list.

4. Double-click HID devices, such as Keyboard or Mouse to make connection.

5. Once an HID connection is established, that connection will persist. If the computer is

shut down, when the computer is turned on again the connection will re-establish

automatically.

Note: HIDs usually have a button, which is sometimes difficult to find, that must be pressed

before other Bluetooth devices can locate the HID. Even after the button is pressed, the HID can

only be discovered for a limited time, and then the button must be pressed again. The time period

can be as short as 30 seconds or as long as 180 seconds. Read the document that accompanies

the HID before you attempt to connect to the devices.

Close an HID connection:

Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to close an HID connection; once established

the connection is maintained automatically, even during the power off and power on processes.

If, for some reason, the connection must be closed: from My Bluetooth Places, right-click the

service name and select Disconnect.

The connection’s “persistence” is broken when HID connection is closed manually by operator.

If you want to use HID device again, you need to re-establish by manually.

Printer

The Bluetooth Printer allows this computer to use a Bluetooth printer.

Once a Bluetooth printer has been properly installed, it can be used from this computer in the

same way as any other printer would be.

Create a Bluetooth Printer connection at first time:

1. On the Client, open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking the icon on your

desktop.

2. Select Enter Bluetooth Neighborhood.

3. Right-click anywhere except on a device name and select Refresh from the pop-up

menu to see an updated list.

4. Double-click Printer you want to make a Bluetooth connection.

5. Once a Bluetooth Printer connection is established at first time, that might need you

install the printer driver. Push OK button to start the printer driver installation.

6. When the wizard asks you to select a printer and model, select the printer and

model on the list. If your printer is not in the list of options, click Have Disk… , insert

the driver disk or CD for the printer, and then navigate to the driver and directory

that contains the driver initiation file (.inf) for the printer.

7. To complete the installation, follow the on-screen instructions.

Remote Camera Operation

Remote operation of the Bluetooth imaging device, such as the ability to trip a camera’s shutter or

browse the images on a device, may be possible, depending on the functions supported by the

remote device.

There are three prerequisites:

 This computer must be running under the Windows XP operating

system.

 The remote imaging device must support the action. See the

remote imaging device’s documentation for information about the

remote functions the device supports.

 The remote imaging device must be installed on this computer

(see below).

Install an Imaging Device

Note: Only Windows XP can install an imaging device; previous operating systems do not have

native support for this option.

Perform a search for devices and then, from Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click a

Bluetooth imaging device, and select Add Camera from the shortcut menu.

Windows installs the camera and adds it to the Cameras and Scanners section of My Computer.

Uninstall an Imaging Device

In Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click an installed Imaging device and then select Delete

Camera from the shortcut menu.

PIM Exchange

The Information Exchange service provides a way to send and receive Microsoft Outlook items to

and from another Bluetooth device, such as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or notebook

computer.

The supported Outlook items are:

 Business cards (*.vcf and *.vcd)

 Calendar entries (*.vcs)

 Notes (*.vnt)

 Messages (*.vmg)

There are three types of operations:

 Send – sends an object to another device.

 Receive – requests an object from another device.

 Exchange – sends a client object and receives a server object.

You can set the default location of your business card and the location where you received items

from the Bluetooth Configuration Panel.

To send, receive, or exchange an object:

1. On the Client, open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking the icon on your

desktop.

2. Right-click the Inbox icon of the remote device and then select an option from the

pop-up menu.

Notes:

Business cards are sent, received, or exchanged without further intervention.

To send calendar items, notes, and messages, go to the folder that contains the item you want to

send out. Then select the item and click Open.

PIM Synchronization

The PIM Synchronization service is used to match information between a Bluetooth client and a

Bluetooth server. A perfect example would be a Personal Information Manager (PIM) database.

BTW supports synchronization with devices that support IrMC v1.1 and exchange the v2.1 vCard

format.

If Information Synchronization is used for the first time with a new application, it may take a few

minutes to synchronize the database. This is how it works – it merges data from both devices,

deletes duplicate entries, and then copies the updated database to both devices.

Following the first attempt, subsequent uses of Information Synchronization for the same

application will be much faster – only the changes that have been made since the devices were

last synchronized will be exchanged.

Microsoft Outlook is the only Personal Information Manager that this release of BTW supports.

Outlook permits duplicate entries, so all duplicates may not be exchanged in the synchronization

process. The only thing synchronized would be Outlook’s default contacts folder. Items in the

subfolders will not be synchronized. This means that if you have moved items from the default

folder to a subfolder, they will seem to be deleted after the next synchronization.

To apply PIM Synchronization:

1. On the client, open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking the icon on your

computer.

2. Select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood.

3. Right-click anywhere except on a device name and then select Refresh from the

pop-up menu to see an updated list.

4. Right-click the server that you want to synchronize with and then select Discover

Available Services to display an updated list of available services.

5. Double-click PIM Synchronization. A dialog box appears, displaying the

synchronization progress. Once the process is complete, the connection

automatically closes.

Network Access

The Network Access service allows a Bluetooth client to use a Local Area Network (LAN)

connection that is physically attached to a Bluetooth server.

Possible network access servers include:

 Bluetooth-enabled computers that have a hardwired Ethernet connection

 Stand-alone Bluetooth Network Access Points

The Bluetooth server must be specifically configured to provide Network Access service.

However, after a Bluetooth device is configured as a Network Access server, it cannot act as a

Network Access client without being re-configured.

In the next sections to follow, we will discuss about how to set up Network Access in different

BLUETOOTH SERVICE

Common Configuration Settings

These properties can be set individually for each Bluetooth service:

 Service Name - the default name of each service can be changed.

 Secure Connection - requires that remote devices provide proof of

identity and that all data be encrypted.

 Startup Automatically - starts the service automatically when Bluetooth is

started.

 Notifications - provides visual and/or audio notification that a remote

device is attempting to connect (or has connected) to a service on this

computer.

Notifications

There are three types of notification:

 Authentication request, also called a PIN code request - this notification

is displayed automatically in a balloon over the Notification area, at the

far right of the taskbar if a Personal Identification Code is required before

a connection can proceed. An audio file can also be associated with the

notification.

 Authorization request, also called a connection request - this type of

notification can be visual, audio, or both. It notifies you of attempts to

access a Bluetooth service on this computer; the connection will not

proceed until you click the balloon that is displayed over the Notification

area, at the far right of the taskbar. If the notification balloon is ignored,

the connection request will time out and fail.

 Notification only - this type of notification does not affect access in any

way; it is solely for information purposes to let you know that a

connection has been established.

Example: Both Authentication and Authorization request notifications are controlled by whether

Secure Connection is enabled for an individual service. An example of how notifications might

work when a remote device attempts to access a service on this computer, if all notifications are

enabled:

 Authentication - a balloon notification (audio optional) prompts you for a

PIN code. If the PIN code does not match the code entered on the

remote device, the connection will not be allowed. After the remote

device has been authenticated this notification will not appear again,

unless the paired relationship is broken. If the paired relationship is

broken, the devices must re-pair.

 Authorization - a balloon notification is displayed and/or a sound file

provides audio notification that a remote device is attempting to access a

Bluetooth service on this computer. Click the balloon to proceed. A dialog

box prompts you to enable the connection only once, or to allow this

device to use the service every time.

 After a connection has been authorized, an additional visual and/or audio

notification may be displayed (if enabled). This notification is for

information only to inform the operator that a connection has been

established.

Note: After two devices are paired, the authentication notification will no longer be displayed when

a connection is attempted. If Always allow… is enabled during the authorization process, the

authorization notification will not be displayed on future connection attempts. Connection

notification only happens if it has been enabled on the Notifications tab of the individual service

being accessed.

Service Access Notification

Notifications lets you associate a sound (Windows *.wav file) and/or a visual indication with

access attempts by remote devices.

A different notification sound can be associated with each local Bluetooth service.

Associate a Sound with Service Access

From the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services tab:

1. Double-click a service name and then select the Notifications tab.

2. Select the options you want; both visual and sound notifications may be selected for

a single event.

3. Choose a sound; click the Browse button and navigate to the sound file (*.wav) to

be used for notification. To preview the sound file, click the play button.

4. Click OK to close the service's property dialog box.

Four data types are supported:

 Business cards

 Calendar items

 Email messages

 Notes

Whether an individual item is accepted and where it is stored, after it is accepted, is configured in

the PIM Item Transfer service. If that service is not configured to store a particular data type in

Outlook, then that data type cannot be synchronized.

Microsoft Outlook permits duplicate entries, so all duplicates may not be exchanged in the

synchronization process.

Note: Data types that will be synchronized must be saved in the PIM database (this is configured

in the PIM Item Transfer service); otherwise, that data type will not be available for selection (it

will be dimmed) in the PIM Synchronization configuration settings.

Note: Only Outlook’s default contacts folder is synchronized. Items in sub-folders are not

synchronized. Items that are moved from the default folder to a sub-folder will not be displayed

the next time synchronization takes place.

Local Services Tab

The Local Services tab allows you to change the settings of all the services that your computer

has made available to other remote devices. Each service can be configured individually to

change its security, name, and other settings.

The Local Services tab also provides you with the option of adding and deleting user-defined

serial services. We will discuss the details on how to do that later in this section.

The following are the names of the local services that BTW provide: (Please note that names of

all the services will be displayed even though the server may not be able to support all of them.)

 Audio Gateway

 Headset

 PIM Synchronization

 Fax

 File Transfer

 PIM Item Transfer

 Dial-up Networking

 Network Access

 Bluetooth Serial Port

Common Configuration Setting:

We mentioned earlier that you could change the settings of each service individually. However, all

of the local services will have common settings and Notification settings for all of the following:

These properties can be set individually for each Bluetooth services:

For General:

 Service name: User can change service name on text box.

 Startup Automatically: User can define service startup Automatically when

Bluetooth is started.

 Security Connection: User can define service with security connection or not on

check box.

For Notification:

 Notifications: provides visual and/or audio notification that a remote device is

attempting to connect (or has connected) to a service on this computer.

There are three types of notification:

 Authentication request, also called a PIN code request:

This notification appears automatically in a balloon over the Windows system tray if

a Personal Identification Code is required before a connection can proceed. An

audio file can also be associated with the notification.

 Authorization request, also called a connection request:

This type of notification can be visual, audio, or both. It notifies you of attempts to

access a Bluetooth service on this computer; the connection will not proceed until

you click the balloon that appears over the Windows system tray. If the notification

balloon is ignored, the connection request will time out and fail.

 Notification only:

This type of notification does not effect access in ay way; it solely for information

purposes to let you know that a connection has been established.

The Notifications lets you associate sound (in the form of Windows *.wav file) and/or a visual

indication with access attempts by remote devices.

A different notification sound can be associated with each local Bluetooth service, depending on

security settings, including such cases:

 When a PIN code is required

 When a remote device attempts to access:

files on this computer (in Windows XP only) −

−

a Bluetooth port

the Dial-up network service

the LAN Access service

the Fax service

 When a remote device attempts to send:

information items

synchronization information

To associate a sound with a Bluetooth event:

1. Open the Bluetooth Configuration Panel by right-clicking the Bluetooth Tray icon

on the Windows system tray. Select Advanced Configuration. The Bluetooth

Configuration Panel is displayed.

2. Click the Local Service tab.

3. Double click a service name and select the Notifications tab.

4. In the Sound section, click the Browse button and look for the sound file (*.wav)

that you want to use for notification.

5. To hear a preview of the sound, click Play.

Note: To hear the sound, the Notify checkbox must be selected. Otherwise, the

sound file will not play even if it has been assigned.

6. Click OK.

Settings that are additional to all of the local services

Click Cancel to save the changes – the changes will be applied the next time you restart your

Bluetooth device.

SECURITY

Introduction

Each service that the server provides can be configured to require the Secure Connection

setting, that means of,

 Authorization: the server operator must acknowledge all connection attempts

before a connection is established.

 Authentication: the server requires a Personal Identification Number code (PIN,

also referred to as a “passkey”) 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 Secure Connection is enabled by default.

Authentication

Authentication is used to verify identity. It requires a passkey or Link Key from the remote device.

When a remote device attempts access to a unit, a visual and/or audio warning notifies the local

operator of the invitation.

The local operator can open a dialog box that provides:

1. The user-friendly name of the device attempting access.

2. A place for the local operator to enter a Bluetooth passkey.

The operator of the remote system must then enter the identical passkey. If no passkey is

supplied or if the notification is ignored after a preset timeout, access will be denied. In cases

wherein devices are paired, those devices automatically exchange a Link Key and authentication

is carried out without operator intervention.

Authorization

Authorization is yes-or-no security. When a remote device attempts to connect, a visual and/or

audio warning alerts the server operator.

The server operator then responds by clicking the Bluetooth Tray icon in the Windows system

tray to open a dialog box that displays:

1. The user-friendly name of the device attempting to connect.

2. 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-screen button. If

the server operator ignores the Authorization notification after a preset timeout, access will be

denied.

Bluetooth Device Identity

Every Bluetooth device has a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) assigned to it during the

manufacturing process. This address cannot be changed.

The BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format; 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a valid BDA. Each

Bluetooth device also has a configurable, user-friendly name to help distinguish it from other

devices.

The user-friendly name may be up to 99 alphanumeric characters in length and may contain

spaces. My Personal Computer is a valid user-friendly name.

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 BTW is based on the same passkey or Link Key that is used for Authentication. If

Authentication is not enabled, the key will not be available and encryption will not take place.

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 following three items:

 The Passkey

 The Bluetooth Device Address

 An internally generated random number

After a link key is generated, manual entry of the passkey is not require.

Pairing Devices

Pairing devices establishes a rather permanent relationship between two devices. It creates a

permanent security link between the two and enables easy access to all the available services

without having to enter access information every time a connection is attempted. Paired devices

share a unique Link Key that they exchange when they are establishing the connection. Moreover,

the mate of a pair will always appear in My Bluetooth Places even if the mate is disconnected or

is beyond connection range.

Paired devices remain paired even in the following scenario:

 One of the devices is not powered up.

 A service connection is interrupted or the service stopped.

 One or both devices have been rebooted.

When Secure Connection is enabling, devices will pair automatically the first time they connect (a

passkey must be successfully exchange)

To pair devices before attempting a connection:

1. Open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.

2. Select Enter Bluetooth Neighborhood.

3. Right-click anywhere except on a device name and select Refresh from the pop-up

menu to see an updated list.

4. Right-click the device you want to make a pair. And select Pair Device from the

shortcut menu.

5. Enter PIM Code for the devices request.

6. After pair, you will see a pair icon on the device you made.

To break a paired device relationship:

1. Open My Bluetooth Places by double-clicking the icon on your

desktop.

2. Select Enter Bluetooth Neighborhood.

3. Right-click anywhere except on a device name and select Refresh

from the pop-up menu to see an updated list.

4. Right-click the device you want to make a pair. And select Unpair

Device from the shortcut menu.

Passkey

A Passkey is a password that is made up of 16 or less characters. Passkeys are also referred to

as PIN codes, or Personal Identification Numbers. Passkey will be required if the Secure

Connection option is enabled for a Bluetooth service or application.

Secure Connection

A passkey or link key is required each time a connection is attempted.

All data exchanged over the Bluetooth connection is encrypted.

Depending on other configuration options, authorization may also be required.

Security Request Dialog Box

Depending on your security settings, you may see a Bluetooth Authorization or Bluetooth

Passkey Request dialog box when a connection is attempted. But this is only if you have either

Authorization or Authentication enabled.

The method of notification depends on the version of your Windows:

 Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP – a bubble message is displayed

over the Bluetooth Tray icon in the Windows system tray.

 Windows 98SE – the BTW icon in the Windows system tray blinks.

Regardless of the version of your Windows, click the Bluetooth Tray icon in the Windows 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 after a preset timeout, the

connection request will fail.

In the Security Request dialog box, you will see the following:

 Device Name: displays the user-friendly name of the device that is attempting to

connect.

 Request to access: displays the service that the remote device is trying to access.

 OK: grants permission to establish connection.

 Cancel: connection is denied.

 Advanced: please see next section for details.

 A checkbox that, when enabled, grants or authorizes the connecting device access

to all of the available services.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Below you will find the most frequently asked questions that we get from our customers.

Q: What is a valid Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) and where can I find it? Can I change

the BDA?

A: Every Bluetooth device has a unique 48-bit Bluetooth Device Address, or BDA. This address

cannot be changed by the end-user. A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format.

Therefore, if you see a BDA with 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F, that is a valid BDA. You may find your

device’s BDA in the Hardware tab of your Configuration Panel.

Q: I get an “X” mark on my Service icon. What does that mean?

A: Icons for Services that are not available will have a red “X” mark. Services may be unavailable

because the necessary hardware (such as the modem for Dial-up Networking) is not installed.

Q: Windows can’t seem to detect my USB dongle device. What do I do?

A: First, go to your Control Panel and select System. Then select Device Manager to see if the

USB dongle is enabled. If it’s not, simply unplug the USB dongle off its port and then plug it back

in. If after doing this, Windows still cannot detect your device, unplug the USB dongle and re-

install its software.

Q: How do I use my USB dongle in such applications as wireless printing, active

synchronization with PDA, dial-up networking, network access, and file transfer?

A: Details to these can be found in the Application Setup Guide, which is included in the USB

dongle installation CD.

Q: Why can’t I connect to a paired device?

A: Paired devices are always displayed in My Bluetooth Places even if the remote device is out

of connection range or is turned off. If you can’t connect to a paired device, verify that the remote

member of the pair is within radio range and powered up before you attempt to connect again.

Q: I can’t discover services on an unpaired remote device. What is the problem?

A: The remote device may not be powered up or may be out of range. To correct this problem,

first verify that the remote device is turned on. If it is, make sure that the remote device is in

‘Connectable’ mode and have provide services which you want. Open the Bluetooth

Configuration Panel and select Accessibility tab. Also perform a Search for Devices to

determine if the device is within range.

Q: The Dial-up Networking service does not start. Is this a problem?

A: The Dial-up Networking service will never start unless a properly configured modem is

attached to the server. (Please refer to the Application Setup Guide for details). What you can do:

 Verify that the modem is usable as a local device from the server.

 On the server, in the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, click the Local Services tab,

and then double-click the Dial-up Networking service.

 Click the down arrow in the Modem field. Select the Startup checkbox and then

select the modem that will be used to dial up.

 Click OK.

 Click OK to close the Bluetooth Configuration Panel.

Q: How do I determine the Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) of my hardware device and

the version number of both the Bluetooth Specification and the Link Manager Protocol

(LMP)?

A: Open the Bluetooth Configuration Panel and click the Hardware tab. Then you could see the

Device Address. There you will see the BDA of the selected Bluetooth device and the version

number of both the Host Controller Interface and the Link Manager Protocol.

Q: How do I test a Network Access connection?

A: If the client is hardwired to the LAN, simply unplug the hardwired connection to ensure that

the test checks the wireless connection rather than the hardwired connection. If the server has

access to the Internet, open a browser on the client device(after connecting to Server’s network

access service) and connect to the World Wide Web. You may also Ping the server from the DOS

prompt.

Q: Why do I get an “Unknown Port” message when I attempt to use a Bluetooth Serial Port?

A: The unknown Port error message usually means that an attempt was made to connect to a

port that was in use. Additional Bluetooth Serial Ports can be added if they are required.

Q: What can I do when uninstalling BTW cannot be completed, due to reasons such as

electricity stops?

A: Using CD-Rom to re-install the BTW, and then remove the driver.

Q: What can I do when functions don’t run normally?

A: Un-plug and plug the dongle, or re-start PC.

Q: How to turn off warning message during installation under Window XP?

A: Perform the following before BTW installation, to turn off warnings during installation of BTW.

Start Menu->My Computer->View System Information (Properties)->Hardware->Driver Signing-

>Ignore. After installation, the previous setting may be restored if desired.
