BTW-CE User’s Guide Control Panel 11 2.3 BTW-CE SERVICE TABS The functions that a Pocket PC can provide to other devices are called “Services.” The services that this Pocket PC is capable of providing are: • File Transfer—file-related operations such as get a file/use a file/delete a file, etc. • Information Exchange—Send the default business card (Pocket Outlook contact) on request. • Serial Port—Bluetooth serial port operations. Bluetooth serial ports are used as a replacement for a physical cable between devices. • Dial-up Networking—provide access, via a phone line or other access system, to a remote computer network such as an Internet service. Each of these tabs is explained in detail in the remainder of this section.

BTW-CE User’s Guide Control Panel 12 2.3.1 Common Options All of the services have some common settings. Even though the options are the same, in each case they are specific to the service being configured on the individual tabs. The common options are listed under the About this service heading on each individual service tab. They are: • Enable service: check this option to have the service start when BTW-CE initializes. When this option is enabled the service is enabled and “listening” for connection attempts when Bluetooth is enabled. • Authorization required: check this option to require that each attempt to establish a connection be individually authorized. When Authorization is enabled and a remote device attempts to connect to this service, BTW-CE asks if the connection should be permitted (see also Section 3.2.2.2, Permissions). • Authentication (PIN) required: check this option to require a Personal Identification Number (PIN code, also called a password or passkey) or a Link Key from the remote device before allowing the connection. When this option is enabled and a remote device attempts to establish a connection, the Bluetooth Passkey screen (Figure 7) appears. Enter the passkey to allow the connection to proceed, or tap the OK button to deny permission for the connection. If the notification is ignored, the connection attempt will time out (fail). • Encryption required: check this option to require that all the data exchanged between this device and the remote Bluetooth device be encrypted. Encryption depends on the key that is used for Authentication; if Authentication is not enabled, Encryption will not be available. Only the data exchanged by the Bluetooth devices is encrypted. The individual services, and their unique options, are explained in the remainder of this section. Figure 7: Bluetooth Passkey screen
