BT-500 User ManualWistron NeWeb Corp. 31 IntroductionBluetooth technology provides short-range wireless communications enableddevices. Bluetooth for Windows(BTW) is the WIDCOMM, Inc.(WIDCOMM),solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personalcomputers.Most Bluetooth-enabled devices have the capability to act as:z A Bluetooth server—these devices provide one or more services, suchas access to the Internet, to other Bluetooth devices.andz A Bluetooth client—these devices use the service(s) provided byBluetooth servers.Bluetooth for Windows provides:z Clients with the means:¾ To locate other Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity(inquiry).¾ Discover the services that those devices offer (discovery).¾ Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services.z Servers with the means:¾ To include/exclude individual services in the list of services itprovides to clients.z Extensive security, including:¾ Authorization¾ Authentication¾ EncryptionBTW supports:z Windows 2000z Windows 98SE(Second Edition)z Windows Me(Millennium Edition)BTW functions the same, regardless of the supported version of Windows it isrunning on.
BT-500 User ManualWistron NeWeb Corp. 42 Icons Used for Devices and ServicesBluetooth for Window’s icons provide at-a-glance feedback about a device orservice’s status by changing color and form.Device icons turn green when a connection is active.The device icons also indicate if devices are paired (“trusted”). If a device istrusted, the icon form changes to include a white check mark in a black circle.The service icons also turn green when a connection is active.To view an illustration of the device and service icon types in BluetoothNeighborhood, open the Help menu and select Help Topics. On the Contents tab,double-click the General topic and then the Icons Used for Devices and Servicestopic.
BT-500 User ManualWistron NeWeb Corp. 53 Search for Devices (Device Inquiry)“Search for Devices” looks for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays thedevices it finds in Bluetooth Neighborhood.Bluetooth for Windows automatically searches for devices when BluetoothNeighborhood is opened.To start the Search for Devices when Bluetooth Neighborhood is open:z In Bluetooth Neighborhood, double-click the Search for Devices iconorz Open the Bluetooth menu and select Search for Devices.
BT-500 User ManualWistron NeWeb Corp. 6BTW can be configured to automatically search for devices on regular basis(Bluetooth Configuration window > Discovery tab).One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility the wireless connectionsallow. However, mobility means that devices may move in or out of connectionrange during the time between the automatic updates performed by BTW.To be certain that the displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, orif automatic periodic inquiry is not enabled, force an up-to-date view by clickingSearch for Devices.Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devicesfound because:z Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes ofdevices( Bluetooth Configuration window > Discovery tab, on yourdevice).z The un-listed device is configured to be non-discoverable (BluetoothConfiguration window > Accessibility tab, on the un-listed device).NOTE: The Bluetooth menu is only visible in Windows Explorer when Exploring the Bluetooth Neighborhood.

BT-500 User ManualWistron NeWeb Corp. 84 Find a Service (Service Discovery)After BTW has identified the available Bluetooth servers within connection range theclient can make use of the services provided by those servers. The process ofdetermining the services that are available is called Service Discovery.The services supported by BTW are:Bluetooth Serial Port－establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection betweentwo devices. The connection mybe used by applications as though a physicalserial cable connected the devices.Dial-up Networking－allows a Bluetooth client to use a modem that isphysically attached to the Bluetooth server.Fax－allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send a fax using a device that isphysically attached to the Bluetooth server.File Transfer－establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection that allows yourcomputer to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth-enabled device－brows, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc.Information Exchange－establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection betweentwo devices so that they can exchange personal information manager data suchas business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.Information Synchronization－establishes a Bluetooth wireless connectionbetween two devices and uses the connection to synchronize PersonalInformation Manager data between the two devices.Network Access－establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between theclient and the server that is physically connected to the Local Area Network. Ifthe client has permission (user name and password for the LAN), the wirelessconnection 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:z Network gateways such as those in WIDCOMM’s BlueGate series onlyprovide access to the Local Area Network (the Network Access service).z A Bluetooth-enabled cellular telephone may provide only:¾ Dial-up Networking (access to the Internet).¾ A Bluetooth Serial Port (used to exchange PIM information with yourcomputer).To determine which services are provided by a Bluetooth device, right-click thedevice and select Discover Available services from the popup menu.
BT-500 User ManualWistron NeWeb Corp. 95 Local ServicesLocal Services are those services that a Bluetooth server is capable of providing.The services provided by BTW are:z Bluetooth Serial Port.z Dial-Up Networking.z Fax.z File Transfer.z Information Exchange.z Information Synchronization.z Network Access.The names of all the services a displayed even though the server may not be capableof supporting all services. For example, when a server provides a service that ishardware-dependant that server must be capable of local action, for example, a Dial-Up Networking server must have a working modem, a Fax server must have afunctional fax modem, and a Network Access server must be physically connected tothe Local Area Network.All services start automatically by default when BTW is initialized.Automatic start-up can be turned off for individual services (Bluetooth Configurationconfigured to start automatically it can still be started manually; right-click the serviceand select Start from the popup menu.To stop a service that is running, right-click the service and select Stop from thepopup menu. Stopped services are not available for clients to use.With Local Devices selected, the Details view of Explorer provides basic informationabout each local service:
