To send Calendar Items, Notes, and Message, navigate to that folder and select the item.
Click “Open”.
35
4.7 Information Synchronization
Information Synchronization service enables the information synchronized between a
Bluetooth client and a Bluetooth server.
For the first time using Information Synchronization service with a new application may
take a few minutes to synchronize the database. The data from both devices must be
merged. After deleting duplicate entries, the updated database will be copied back to both
devices. From the second time using this service with the same application will be much
faster, because it exchanges only those changes that have been made since the database
were synchronized last time.
Follow the steps below to use Information Synchronization service:
1. On the client, in “My Bluetooth Places”, double-click “Entire Bluetooth
Neighborhood”.
2. In “Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood”, right click anywhere except on a device name.
Select “Refresh” when the pop-up menu appears.
3. In “My Bluetooth Places”, right-click the server that will be synchronized with and
choose “Discover Available Services” from the pop-up menu, which will update
the available services list.
4. In “My Bluetooth Places”, double-click “Information Synchronization”.
When the process is complete, a dialog box displays and shows you that synchronization
has successfully completed, and then the connection closes automatically.
36
5. Local Services
Local Services are services that a Bluetooth server can provide, including Bluetooth Serial Port,
Dial-Up Networking, Fax, File Transfer, Information Exchange, Information Synchronization
and Network Access.
The server might not be able to provide all displayed services. For example, without a fax
modem, Fax service cannot be executed.
The services are set to be started automatically once the Bluetooth USB Adapter is initialized.
However, the automatic start-up can be turned off for individual services, and the services can be
started manually by right-clicking the service and selecting “Start” from the pop-up menu.
To terminate a local service, you can right-click the service and choose “Stop” from the pop-up
menu.
When a Local Device is selected, the Details view of Explorer provides the following basic
information of each local service:
! Service: shows the name of the service
! Startup: has 2 options (Automatic or Manual)
! Status:
" Started (COM): means that the service is running and ready to use COM#
" Not Started: means that the service is not running (not available for use by clients)
" Connected (COM#): means that the service is in use, and the local port is COM#
! Device name (if connected):
" Empty field: indicates that the service is not connected
" A device name and/or Bluetooth Device Address: shows the name and the address
of the device that is using the service.
Two ways to interrupt a connection from the server:
! Right-click the local service. Choose “Stop” from the pop-up menu.
! Right-click the local service. Choose “Start” from the pop-up menu to restart the
service.

setting. When Encryption is enabled, Authentication is automatically
enabled.
! Authentication: When this setting is enabled, a passkey or Link Key is
required. The default setting is disabled. Devices are paired automatically
when authentication is complete.
! Service Name: Enter a service name in this field. Although in most cases
the default service name will serve, you may customize the service name
when there’s more than one device of the same type or one device provides
more than one service of the same type in the environment.

check box is selected.
48
6.8 Version Info Tab
You may view the name and version number of the software components from Version Info
tab.
49
7. Security
Each service the server provides can be configured to require “Authorization”, “Authentication”
and “Encryption”. The default setting for Authorization, Authentication and Encryption is
disabled.
7.1 Authentication
Authentication is used to verify identify which requires a passkey or Link Key from the
remote device. The local operator can open a dialog box that provides “The user-friendly
name of the device attempting access” and “A place for the local operator to enter a
Bluetooth passkey”.
The operator of the remote system has to enter the identical passkey, otherwise the access
will be denied.
If the notification is ignored, access is denied after a preset timeout. When devices are
“paired”, those devices automatically exchanged a Link Key and Authentication is carried
out without operator intervention.
7.2 Authorization
The server operator will see or hear a warning when 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” and “The local service to which the remote device is attempting to
connect”. By clicking an on-screen button, the server operator may grant or deny access to
the service. If the server operator ignores the Authorization notification access will be
denied after a preset timeout.
7.3 Encryption
Encrypting translates data into an unreadable format with a secret key or password. To
decrypt the data, the same key or password that was used to encrypt are required. The
passkey or Link Key of encryption is based on those for Authentication. Therefore, if
Authentication is not enabled, the key is not available and encryption will not take place.
Follow the steps below to enable Encryption for service:
1. Right-click a service name and the pop-up menu displays. Select Properties to
display the Bluetooth Properties dialog box.
2. Select Encryption.
3. Click “OK” to close the dialog box.
50
7.4 Levels of Security
The configuration options include:
! Startup-Automatic or Manual
! Authorization
! Authentication
! Encryption
To access the security settings for a local service, select “Local Services” tab from
Bluetooth Configuration Panel, and double-click the service name.
7.5 Link Key
A Link Key is an access code. When devices are paired or when Authentication is enabled,
the Link Keys are generated automatically. Combining “The Passkey”, “The Bluetooth
Device Address” and “An internally generated random number” creates link Keys.
7.6 Pairing Devices
“Pairing” can avoid entering access information each time a connection is attempted.
Paired devices share a unique Link Key that is exchanged when connecting.
The mate of paired devices will always appear in “My Bluetooth Places”, even if the mate is
not turned on or is out of connection range. Paired devices remain paired even when that
one of the devices is not powered up, or a service connection is interrupted, or the service
stopped or one or both devices are rebooted.
Follow the steps in Chapter 3.6 and Chapter 3.7 to pair devices and break a paired device
relationship.
7.7 Passkey
A passkey can be a number of up to 16 characters in length. Passkeys are used in the
Authentication and Encryption process.
7.8 Security Request Dialog Box
When either Authorization or Authentication is enabled, a “Bluetooth Authorization” or
“Bluetooth Passkey Request” dialog box may appear when a connection is attempted.
In the dialog box, you can find:
! Device Name: Shows the name of the device attempting to connect.
! Request to access: Shows the service the remote device is attempting to access.
51
Click “OK” to allow the connection, or click “Cancel” to deny the connection. You may
select the check box to grant the connecting device access to all of the services on this
computer.
7.9 Authorization Request Dialog Box, Advanced Button
The check box on the main page of Bluetooth Authorization dialog box, when selected,
allows the device attempting to connect to access all services on this computer when
attempting to connect in the future.
Follow the steps below to limit the services the connecting device may use:
1. Click “Advanced”.
2. From the expanded dialog box, select the services that the connecting device is
allowed to use. Once selected, the service will not require authorization in the
future.
3. Click “OK”.
