BTW Configuration & User’s Guide November 27, 2001 WIDCOMM Inc. Confidential and Proprietary 11 Introduction 1.1 INTRODUCTION TO BLUETOOTHThe 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.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide November 27, 2001 WIDCOMM Inc. Confidential and Proprietary 21.2 INTRODUCTION TO BTW BTW is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personal computers. For an overview of the features added in this release, see What's New. Most Bluetooth-enabled devices have the capability to act as: • A Bluetooth server—these devices provide one or more services, such as access to the Internet, to other Bluetooth devices. • A Bluetooth client—these devices use the service(s) provided by Bluetooth servers. Bluetooth devices that can act as both server and client can often do both at the same time. BTW provides: • Clients with the means:  To locate other Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity (inquiry)  Discover the services that those devices offer (discovery)  Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services. • Servers with the means to include/exclude individual services in the list of services they provide to clients. • Extensive security, including:  Authorization  Authentication  Encryption. BTW supports • Windows 2000. • Windows 98SE (Second Edition). • Windows Me (Millennium Edition) • Windows XP Professional • Windows XP Home Edition. BTW functions the same way, regardless of the supported version of Windows on which it is running.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide November 27, 2001 WIDCOMM Inc. Confidential and Proprietary 3The services supported by BTW 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 Bluetooth-enabled device—browse, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc. • 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 such as those in WIDCOMM’s BlueGate series only provide access to the Local Area Network (the Network Access service). To determine the services provided by a Bluetooth device: 1. On the client, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood. 2. In the right pane of Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click anywhere excepton a device name and select Refresh from the pop-up menu. In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device and select Discover Available Services from the pop-up menu to update the available services list. The available services will be displayed in the right pane of My Bluetooth Places. 1.3 BLUETOOTH DEVICE IDENTITYEvery Bluetooth device has a unique 48-bit binary Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) burned into its Read-Only Memory (ROM). This address cannot be changed by the end-user.A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format; 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a valid BDA. Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable, user-friendly name to help distinguish it from other Bluetooth 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.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide November 27, 2001 WIDCOMM Inc. Confidential and Proprietary 41.4 ICONS USED FOR BLUETOOTH DEVICES AND SERVICESBluetooth icons provide at-a-glance feedback about a device or service's status by changing color.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide November 27, 2001 WIDCOMM Inc. Confidential and Proprietary 173.7 INFORMATION SYNCHRONIZATIONThe Information Synchronization service is used to synchronize information (e.g., a Personal Information Manager database) between a Bluetooth client and a Bluetooth server. BTW supports synchronization with devices that support IrMC v1.1 and exchange the v2.1 vCard format. The first time Information Synchronization is used with a new application it may take a few minutes to synchronize the database; the data from both devices must be merged, duplicate entries deleted, and then the updated database copied back to both devices. Subsequent uses of Information Synchronization, for the same application, are much faster—only the changes that have been made since the databases were last synchronized must be exchanged. Microsoft Outlook is the only Personal Information Manager supported in this release of BTW. Outlook permits duplicate entries, so all duplicates may not be exchanged in the synchronization process. 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 appear to have been deleted the next synchronization takes place. To use Information Synchronization 1.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide November 27, 2001 WIDCOMM Inc. Confidential and Proprietary 286 Security 6.1 INTRODUCTIONEach 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. 6.2 AUTHENTICATIONAuthentication 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. 6.3 AUTHORIZATIONAuthorization 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-screen button.If the server operator ignores the Authorization notification access will be denied after a preset timeout.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide November 27, 2001 WIDCOMM Inc. Confidential and Proprietary 296.4 ENCRYPTIONEncrypting 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 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. 6.5 LEVELS OF SECURITYSecurity 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 different manner. Refer to the user's guide for your Bluetooth device for additional information. 6.6 LINK KEYA 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.

BTW Configuration & User’s Guide November 27, 2001 WIDCOMM Inc.
