Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 5 Getting startedBluetooth Neighborhood Introduction With the Bluetooth Software Suite, you can establish wireless links between your computer and other Bluetooth enabled devices. For example, without using an inch of cable, you can: • Transfer computer files • Transfer objects, for example electronic business cards (vCards) • Transfer sound • Access the Internet by means of dial-up networking • Connect to local area networks • Send fax messages • Establish Bluetooth ad hoc networks consisting of two or more Bluetooth devices • Connect to serial devices (legacy applications) Most operations are carried out from the application called the Bluetooth Neigborhood. This is an equivalent to the Microsoft Network Neighborhood/My Network Places. The latter is an ordinary network, the Bluetooth Neighborhood is a wireless network of the Bluetooth devices within range. The basic functions of the Bluetooth Neighborhood include: 1. Carrying out device discovery—finding out which remote Bluetooth devices are available within your range; 2. Carrying out service discovery—finding out which services (applications) a remote device facilitates; 3. Establishing links to remote devices. When a Bluetooth link has been established between two or more devices, they can communicate, making use of a great number of possible applications.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 6 Opening Bluetooth NeighborhoodTo open the Bluetooth Neighborhood, perform the following steps: 1. Open Windows Explorer. 2. Select the Bluetooth Neighborhood among the folders in Windows. Alternatively, open the Bluetooth Neighborhood from the shortcut placed on your desktop during the installation:

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 7 Bluetooth Neighborhood window When you open the Bluetooth Neighborhood, the following window appears*: The figures 1-7 refer to the following explanations: * The first time you open the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you will not see any remote Bluetooth devices. To discover the remote devices within range, press F5. Note also that as the setup of the window depends on your Windows Explorer setup, the components in the above example may not be exactly the ones shown on your screen. 1: Menu bar: Contains standard Windows pull-down menus and a Bluetooth menu. We will deal with the Bluetooth menu in later sections. Furthermore, from the menu bar, you can access the Bluetooth Software Suite online help. 2: Tool bar: Contains standard Windows tools like Back, Forward, View, etc. In addition, the bar contains such Bluetooth tools as Device Discovery and Disconnect. 3: Address bar: Shows which item is currently selected. Also, from this bar you can browse in Windows Explorer. 4: View details: Appears when on the View menu you have selected the item View Details. You will see various information on the items in the list view. For more information, see the section “View details”. 5: Local Profiles/Local Services bar: Shows the local profiles or the local services that your Bluetooth device supports. For more information, see the section "Profiles and services". 6: Status bar: Provides information on the item currently selected in the Bluetooth Neighborhood. 7: List view: Shows you the contents of the folder, remote device, etc. currently selected. See the section “List view”.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 10 Remote devices or services: The devices shown in the main window list view are the remote Bluetooth devices that your device has discovered during device discovery. The icons show what kind of device each remote device is (device class), like the desktop and laptop computer icons in the following example: A question mark is used to show that the device class is unknown: Furthermore, it is indicated by the icons whether or not a device is within range as follows: Within range Out of range Note: The list view does not show your local device, only remote ones. When service discovery has been carried out on a remote device, the list view will change to showing the services facilitated by the remote device in question. Each service is represented by an icon, for example DUN (dial-up networking) and FAX: Appendix B contains a complete list of the various remote device and service icons. Finally, the icons will indicate “linked” and “bonded” as follows: Linked Bonded Linked and bonded The list view settings can be changed like other Windows list view settings, e.g. you can change the size of the icons or have the elements displayed as a list. For information on settings specifically relevant in connection with the Bluetooth Software Suite, see the section “View details”.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 11 Basic functions Naming your local device Before you start communicating with remote users, you should select a device name you want remote users to see. To name your device, perform the following steps: 1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties: The following dialog box opens: 2. At the top of the dialog box, click the Settings tab. 3. In the Bluetooth Device Name text box, type the device name you wish remote users to see. For example, “Adam”: 4. Click OK. Other Bluetooth devices will now see your device as "Adam".

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 12 For information on the item Bluetooth Device Class in the dialog box shown above, see the section “Bluetooth Neighborhood properties” – “Settings”. Device discovery Before your local device can communicate with a remote Bluetooth device, it will need to discover the remote devices available within range. This process is called device discovery. To run device discovery, click on Device Discovery on the Bluetooth drop-down menu. While your device is looking for remote devices, the following dialog box will show the progress of the device discovery: When device discovery has finished running, the list view will show which remote devices within range are currently available. Also, you can see the previously discovered devices that are no longer available (cf. the section “List view”):

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 13 Note: The main window list view does not show your local device, only the discovered remote ones. Alternative ways of carrying out device discovery: • When the main window list view is displayed, press F5. This will update the list view. • On the tool bar, click the tool button Device Discovery. Service discovery Before trying to establish a link to a remote device, it may be useful to know which services the device supports. To find out, run service discovery by double-clicking on the remote device in the main window list view: When the service discovery has been carried out, the list view will show the services that the remote device supports: In some cases, it may not be possible to run service discovery. There could be a number of reasons for this: The remote user may have set up his device to reject link establishment attempts (cf. “Bluetooth Neighborhood properties” – “Trust” and “Remote device properties” – “Trust”), the distance between the two devices may be too far, etc. If service discovery (or any other activity) is not carried out successfully, a message box will let you know what went wrong.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 14 Link establishmentWhen you have carried out service discovery, you can establish a link to the remote device. You can make use of any service that both your device and the remote device support. Drag the local service to the corresponding remote service: In the above example, a DUN (dial-up networking) link is being established by dragging the local DUN service to the remote DUN service. (The remote device could be a Bluetooth enabled modem, which would allow you to access the Internet.) Alternatively, if you know in advance that a remote device supports a particular service, you can skip service discovery. Just drag the local service to the remote device: In this example, a DUN link is being established by dragging the local DUN service to the remote device. For information on how to make use of each of the local services when a link has been established, refer to the section about the local service in question. If link establishment is not carried out successfully: The remote user may have set up his device to reject link establishment attempts (cf. “Bluetooth Neighborhood properties” – “Trust” and “Remote device properties” – “Trust”), the distance between the two devices may be too far, etc. A message box will let you know what went wrong.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 15 Disconnecting To disconnect a link established to a remote device, perform the following steps: 1. Select (click) the remote device or service that you want your device to disconnect from. 2. On the Bluetooth menu, click the item Disconnect: Alternatively, double-click the remote service that your local device is connected to. The link will now be disconnected. Status information The Bluetooth Neighborhood status bar provides you with information on the item currently selected in the Bluetooth Neighborhood, like the name of a remote device (“Eddie’s Notepad”) or My Inbox. Also, message boxes keep you informed of the progress of any activity, and let you know if anything goes wrong. The following example is a message box showing that the local device is being disconnected from a remote one:

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 16 View detailsOne of the Windows-like features of the Bluetooth Software Suite is the possibility of changing the settings of the list view. What is of special interest, however, is the Details information of the list view: 1. On the menu bar, click View. 2. Click Details. Alternatively, on the tool bar, click the View icon the appropriate number of times until the details are displayed: The type of details displayed depends on the contents of the list view: remote devices, remote services, or the contents of My Inbox or My Shared Files. Details concerning remote devices In the main window, the list view can display information on each of the remote devices discovered: • Name: The name the remote user has chosen for his device to present itself with when discovered by other devices. • Class: The type of the remote device (device class), for example a desktop computer, a laptop, or a mobile phone. • Status: Whether the remote device is within range or not. • Bonding: Whether or not your local device and the remote one have bonded. See the section “Bonding”. • Role: Shows if the remote device is the master or a slave in the piconet.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 18 Device foldersWhat is a device folder? In the Bluetooth Neighborhood main list view, you can create device folders: folders containing a number of remote devices. You can communicate with a device folder as with any single remote device. When doing so, you will be communicating with all the devices in the folder at the same time. You can for example use this feature to distribute objects or files to more than one device at a time. How to create a device folder: 1. Open the Bluetooth Neighborhood main window. 2. On the Bluetooth menu, click Create New Device Folder. A new folder will appear in the list view: The default name of the folder is New Folder. However, you can rename the folder like any Windows folder: Select the folder, click F2, and type the new name. 3. Drag the remote devices you want to the device folder. This is a standard Windows drag-and-drop operation; to move a number of remote devices at the same time, hold down the CTRL key, click each remote device, and then drag the selected remote devices to the folder. In the following example, two remote devices have been selected and are being dragged to a device folder named “Conference”. You can create as many device folders as you like, and you can include as many devices in each folder as you like. Communicating with a device folder is done in exactly the same way as with a single remote device. In the following example, a business card is being dragged to the device folder named “Conference”:

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 19 Each of the remote devices included in the device folder “Conference” will now receive the business card. Online help The Bluetooth Software Suite features online help similar to that of Microsoft Windows. To open the Bluetooth Software Suite online help, click the menu bar item Help or press F1 on your keyboard. Help provides you with links to the online version of this User’s Manual. The design of the Help function is similar to the Windows Help: Each tab helps you locate information in a different way. To locate topics, use the Contents tab. To look up keywords, use the Index tab. To search for text, use the Search tab.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 20 Local servicesObject transfer With the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you can transfer such objects as business cards, e-mail messages, calendar objects, and notes. If Microsoft Outlook is installed on your computer, that is where you create and send objects. If Microsoft Outlook is not installed on your computer, you can use the Object Editor included in the Bluetooth Software Suite. Making default business card available Before your business card can be transferred to a remote device, it needs to be included as a service on your Local Services bar. This will allow remote users to pull your business card, i.e. transfer it to their devices. Also, you can push the business card yourself, i.e. transfer it to remote devices. Finally, pulling and pushing can take place in one and the same operation: exchanging business cards. This can be done by both you and a remote user. If Microsoft Outlook is installed on your computer, you can create a business card in Contacts, and then drag it into the Bluetooth Neighborhood. If Microsoft Outlook is not installed, you can use the Object Editor. Both ways of making your default business card available on the Local Services bar are explained in the following. From Microsoft Outlook 1. Open both the Bluetooth Neighborhood and Microsoft Outlook. 2. Arrange the Bluetooth Neighborhood and Microsoft Outlook Contacts windows so they are both visible on your screen:

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 22 2. At the top of the dialog box, click the Object Push Settings tab. 3. In the item Default Business Card, click the button Create New. The Object Editor opens: 4. In the Object Editor, type the information you want to include in your default business card. You can include information about your name and one or more e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, and addresses. 5. To save the business card, select the Object Editor File drop-down menu, and click Save.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 23 6. To quit the Object Editor: Click the OK button. You will now return to the dialog box OBEX Object Push Properties – Object Push Settings. Here you will see the name of your default business card, which is the same as the name typed in the Object Editor. If you want to view or edit the default location of the business card, click the “ ... “ button. 7. To complete the creation of the new default business card: Click the OK button. A new icon on the Local Services bar shows that your default business card is now available for transfer to remote devices: Editing an existing business card in the Object Editor: As appears from the information above, the Object Editor can be used to create a new default business card. Furthermore, you can use the Object Editor to edit an existing business card. The procedure is almost the same as that described above; however, in step 3, click Edit (instead of Create New).

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 24 Business card transfer Before your default business card can be transferred to remote devices, you must make it available among your local services as described in the section "Making default business card available". To send your business card to a remote device, drag the card icon to the remote Inbox folder or remote device (or device folder). In the following example, the business card is being dragged to a remote device: If the link is established successfully, the remote device will now receive your business card in its Bluetooth Neighborhood Inbox. For the choice of sending, receiving, or exchanging business cards with another user, right-click the remote device, and point to Business Card: You can now choose one of the following options: • To transfer your business card (included on the Local Services bar) to the remote device: Click Push business card. • To transfer the remote user’s business card to your device: Click Pull business card. • To exchange business cards with the remote user: click Exchange business cards.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 25 Sending objects directly from MS Outlook Microsoft Outlook users can send objects (like messages or notes) directly from Microsoft Outlook: Drag the object either to the remote Inbox folder or to the remote device (or device folder): In the above example, an e-mail message is being dragged from the local Microsoft Outlook inbox to the remote Bluetooth device. Receiving objects When your local Bluetooth device receives an object (a default business card, message, note, or calendar object) from a remote device, the object is placed in My Inbox: If Microsoft Outlook is installed on your computer: When you double-click a received object, it will open in Microsoft Outlook. If Microsoft Outlook is not installed on your computer: When you double-click a received object, it will open in the Object Editor. You can open a received object directly from My Inbox, or you can drag the object to wherever you want to store it. In the following example, an object is being dragged from My Inbox to the Desktop:

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 26 Creating objects in the Object Editor If Microsoft Outlook is not installed on your computer, you can use the Object Editor to create objects – messages, notes, and cards. Note that objects created in the Object Editor are not saved as objects but as files. You can then transfer these files as you would any file in the Bluetooth Neighborhood (cf. “File transfer”). 1. To open the Object Editor: Click Start, point to Programs, point to Bluetooth Software Suite ..., and click Object Editor: The Object Editor opens: 2. To create an object in the Object Editor: Click File, point to New, and click the kind of object you want to create, for example a VMessage:

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 27 Cards are created in the Object Editor itself (by typing the information you want to include); messages and notes are created in a new window. The following example shows the window that pops up on clicking VMessage as shown above: 3. Type the information you want to be included in the object. 4. To save the object: In the window where you typed the contents, click File and Save As. A new dialog box pops up. In the following example, a message is about to be saved: 5. Select the location and name of the new file. 6. Click Save. When you have saved the file, you can transfer it like any file using the Bluetooth Neighborhood. For more information, see “File transfer”.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 28 File transfer File transfer is a way of sharing files with others. In the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you can make a file available to a remote user by placing it in the folder My Shared Files: When a remote user has carried out service discovery on your device, he can open your folder My Shared Files and the files in it. Furthermore, he can add and delete files if he is allowed to do so (for information on the security aspects of My Shared Files, see the section “File Transfer Settings”). Finally, if a remote device sends a file to your local device, it is received in My Shared Files. Making a file available in My Shared Files Placing a file in My Shared Files is easily done by dragging the file from where it is stored to the folder My Shared Files. Or you can open My Shared Files first, and then drag the file to the list view displaying the contents of My Shared Files. In the above example, a file is being dragged from the desktop to the list view displaying the contents of My Shared Files. When a remote user opens your folder My Shared Files, he will have access to the file you placed in it. Sending a file to a remote device If you want to transfer a file to the Shared Files folder of a remote device, you can do so in a number of ways: • Drag the file from where it is stored to the remote device (or device folder): In the above example, a file is being dragged from My Documents to the remote device. • First run service discovery on the remote device. Then drag the file from where it is stored into the remote Shared Files folder:

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 29 In the above example, a file is being dragged from My Documents to the Shared Files folder of the remote device. • First run service discovery on the remote device; then open the remote Shared Files folder; finally drag the file from where it is stored to the list view displaying the contents of the remote Shared Files folder. In the above example, a file is being dragged from the Desktop into the contents of the remote Shared Files folder. No matter which way you choose to transfer a file to a remote device, the user of that device will receive the file in his Shared Files folder. Receiving files When your local Bluetooth device receives a file sent from a remote device, the file is placed in My Shared Files. You can then open the received file directly from My Shared Files, or you can drag the file to wherever you want to store it. In the following example, a file is being dragged from My Shared Files to My Documents:

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 30 HeadsetThe Headset service makes it possible to have phone conversations using your computer as a speaker phone. This is how the Headset service works: Sound can be transferred via a Bluetooth link between your Bluetooth enabled phone and computer. The phone works as a “gateway” for the sound to and from the computer. This makes it possible to carry out a phone conversation using the (built-in or external) speaker and microphone of your computer. Alternatively, instead of using the speaker and microphone of your computer, you can connect an ordinary (wired) headset to the computer and use that for the conversation. How to use the Headset service: First, establish a link between your computer and Bluetooth enabled phone. The link can be established by both devices. To establish the link from the Bluetooth Neighborhood: Either drag the local Headset service to the icon in the list view symbolizing your phone. Or run service discovery on the phone first, then drag the local Headset service to the remote Audio Gateway service: Now, enable the audio (sound): Right-click either the Headset icon in the Local Services bar or the icon for the remote service in the list view. Select Enable Audio: The sound reaching your phone from the public telephone network will now be transferred wirelessly to your computer (and the other way around: from your computer to your phone ...). Make a phone call or answer the phone, and carry out the conversation by your computer.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 31 Note that when Audio is enabled, disconnecting must be done from the Audio Gateway, i.e. the phone. However, on the menu opened by right-clicking the local or remote Headset icon, you can select Send Command. This is a “virtual pushbutton” which will allow you to control most phones from your computer. Selecting Send Command may cause the phone to dial up or, when you are already connected, hang up and disconnect the link. Note: You can make settings for automatic enabling of audio on link establishment and for sound quality; please see the section “Headset settings”.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 33 opposite direction: When you speak into the microphone of the headset, the sound is transferred via the Bluetooth Audio Gateway link to your computer. The sound is then sent via the Internet/Intranet to the other NetMeeting participants. The meeting can proceed ... Note: To participate in a NetMeeting, you need Microsoft NetMeeting (or a similar application). Before the meeting, each participant has to set up his NetMeeting application for it. For details on Microsoft NetMeeting, please refer to the Windows online help. This is how the Audio Gateway service works when your computer is used like a phone in handsfree mode: The sound (the voice of the person you are talking to) reaches your voice modem via the public telephone network. The voice modem is connected to your computer (with a wire) or perhaps built into your computer. From the modem, the sound reaches your computer. It is then transferred via a Bluetooth Audio Gateway link to your Bluetooth enabled headset. This is how you get to hear the voice of the person at the other end of the line. The sound of your own voice is routed back the same way: From the microphone of your Bluetooth enabled headset to your computer; from your computer to your voice modem; and via the public telephone network to the other person's phone (or computer?). Your computer has been turned into a handsfree phone! Note: To use your computer like a handsfree phone, you need a software application supporting voice. Such an application is typically included with a voice modem. For information on how to use the application, please refer to the documentation accompanying it.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 34 Audio Gateway link establishmentIn the previous section, we took a look at the principles behind various ways of using the Audio Gateway service. No matter which of the applications you use, you will need to establish a Bluetooth Audio Gateway link between your computer and the Bluetooth enabled headset. The link can be established by both devices. To establish the Bluetooth Audio Gateway link from the Bluetooth Neighborhood: Either drag the local Audio Gateway service to the icon in the list view symbolizing your headset. Or run service discovery on the headset first, then drag the local Audio Gateway service to the remote Headset service: Now, enable the audio (sound): Right-click either the icon for the Audio Gateway in the Local Services bar or the icon for the remote service in the list view. Select Enable Audio. You can now put on your headset and participate in a NetMeeting, listen to music, or make a phone call! Note: You can make settings for automatic enabling of audio on link establishment and for sound quality; please see the section “Headset settings”.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 36 This makes it possible for the user who receives the sound file to listen while receiving the file. Another example would be to speak into the microphone of one computer (acting as a Bluetooth speaker phone) while recording your speech on another computer (acting as a Bluetooth audio device). For information on how to enable each of the two features, the Bluetooth speaker phone and the Bluetooth audio device, please see the section “Enabling/disabling PC speaker”. Link establishment There are two ways of establishing an audio link: • Drag the local Audio service to the remote device (or device folder) Or • Run service discovery first, then drag the local Audio service to the remote Audio service: When the link establishment has been carried out successfully, you can use your computer as either a Bluetooth speaker phone or a Bluetooth audio device as described in the preceding section, “Audio”. In the following section, “Enabling/disabling PC speaker”, we will describe how to enable/disable either of the two features.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 37 Enabling/disabling PC speakerUsing your computer as a Bluetooth speaker phone (the Audio Service “walkie-talkie feature”) involves using the PC speaker. This may be a built-in or external speaker, or it may be the speaker of a wired headset connected to your computer. The PC speaker can be enabled/disabled from the Local Services bar or the list view by performing the following steps: 1. Right-click the local/remote Audio service. 2. Click Enable/Disable PC speaker. To enable the Bluetooth speaker phone feature, enable the PC speaker. To enable the Bluetooth audio device feature, disable the PC speaker. Note: You can only disable the PC speaker when your device is not sending or receiving sound. Do not attempt to use the disabling function when an audio link has been established. Should this happen anyway, the disabling function will not work until you have restarted your computer. For more information on audio settings, see the section “Audio Settings”. For information on how to optimize the sound performance of the Bluetooth speaker phone feature, see the section “Bluetooth Speaker Phone Setup Wizard”.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 42 Bluetooth COM port link establishment When you have added a Bluetooth COM port to the Local Services bar (as described in the section “Bluetooth COM port settings”), you can establish a link to a remote device. Drag the Bluetooth COM port icon to the remote device (or device folder). Or run service discovery, then drag the local Bluetooth COM port icon to a remote Bluetooth COM port icon: The link established between your local device and the remote one can now be used exactly as if it were a wired link.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 43 LANTo be able to make the most of the LAN service, some previous knowledge of Microsoft networking is required. If necessary, please refer to the Microsoft Windows online help for information on Microsoft networking. What is Bluetooth LAN? The LAN service is used for accessing a Local Area Network. This is done by establishing a link between your computer and a Bluetooth enabled LAN access point device connected to a LAN server. What the Bluetooth link does is supply an alternative to establishing a network link by means of a NULL modem cable. This way you establish a wireless Bluetooth link to the LAN access point, instead of connecting your computer to the LAN server using a NULL modem cable. Configuring Direct Cable Connection Both your computer and the LAN access point have to support the Microsoft Windows component Direct Cable Connection*. For information on how to install and open the Direct Cable Connection, please refer to the Microsoft Windows online help. Note: To be able to use the Direct Cable Connection, all operating systems except Windows NT and 2000 require that the Dial-up adapter is installed (in Control Panel / Network). For instructions, see the Windows online help. First, open the Direct Cable Connection and follow the onscreen instructions to configure your connection to the LAN access point. Note that during the configuration of the Direct Cable Connection, you will be prompted to specify whether your computer is to be a guest or the host. Select guest as you are the one to access resources on the LAN access point (the host). Furthermore, when prompted, select Bluetooth COM port 7 for your LAN link. That is the default COM port for Bluetooth LAN. (It is possible to change this default setting. For more information, see “Bluetooth COM ports” – “General information” and “Bluetooth COM port settings”.) * The name of this Windows component varies from one operating system to another. However, whether called “Direct Cable Connection”, “Network and Dial-up Connections”, or something else, the function is basically the same.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 44 Connecting to LAN Once you have configured the Direct Cable Connection, every time you want to get on the LAN, go through the following procedure: 1. Establish a Bluetooth LAN link between your computer and LAN access point. This can be done from either device. To establish the link from the Bluetooth Neighborhood on your computer: • Drag the LAN icon from the Local Services bar to the icon representing the LAN access point in the list view. Or: • First run service discovery on the LAN access point. Then drag the LAN icon from the Local Services bar to the remote Bluetooth LAN service. 2. Open the Direct Cable Connection, check your settings, and click connect. You are on the LAN! On Windows 2000, you do not have to go through step 2 of the procedure described above. You can set up the Bluetooth Software Suite to do it automatically. For information on how to set up your program for this, please see the section “LAN Access Settings”.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 45 DUNWhat is Bluetooth DUN? Dial-up Networking (DUN) is used for accessing the Internet. Whether you use Bluetooth or not, the procedure is as follows: First, connect a modem to your computer. Then, to be able to use the modem, configure your Dial-up Networking application (more information below). Using the modem, you can now establish a connection between your computer and your Internet Service Provider via the public telephone network. You are on the Internet! Bluetooth DUN eliminates the need for a cable for the connection between your computer and the modem. In other words, the Bluetooth DUN service allows you to connect wirelessly to a Bluetooth enabled modem – by means of which you can access the Internet. Configuring Dial-up Networking application To use DUN, first you have to configure your Dial-up Networking application. This is a standard Windows component. Please refer to the Windows on-line help for information on how to open the Dial-up Networking application. Follow the on-screen instructions. During the configuration of the Dial-up Networking application, you will be asked to select which port to use with the Bluetooth enabled modem. We recommend that you choose Bluetooth COM port 7, which is the default COM port providing Bluetooth DUN, LAN, and FAX. (You can choose an alternative Bluetooth COM port if you like. For more information on Bluetooth COM ports, see “Bluetooth COM ports” – “General information” and “Bluetooth COM port settings”.) You will also be asked to type a name for the computer you want to dial (i.e. the server of the Internet Service Provider). You can type any name you want, for example “My Internet link”. Connecting computer to Bluetooth enabled modem When the Dial-up Networking application has been configured, you are ready to establish a link between your computer and the Bluetooth enabled modem. To do so, first run device discovery to have the Bluetooth Neighborhood list view display an icon representing the Bluetooth enabled modem. Then:

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 47 Create New or edit the selected recipient by clicking Edit Selected. Now, when you have established a link between your computer and a Bluetooth enabled modem, a dialog box will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions to connect to your Internet Service Provider. FAX What is Bluetooth FAX? The procedure for sending and receiving fax messages by means of a computer is basically the same, whether you use Bluetooth or not: First connect a modem to your computer. Then configure your fax application to use the modem as a fax machine (more information below). The Bluetooth FAX service eliminates the need for a cable for the connection between your computer and the modem. In other words, the Bluetooth FAX service allows you to connect wirelessly to a Bluetooth enabled modem – which can be used as a fax machine: Your computerBluetooth enabled modem(Public telephone network)(Wireless Bluetooth link)Remote fax / computer withaccess to fax machine

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 48 Connecting computer to Bluetooth enabled modem The first step is to establish a link between your computer and a Bluetooth enabled modem: Run device discovery to have the Bluetooth Neighborhood list view display an icon representing the Bluetooth enabled modem. Then: • Drag the FAX icon from the Local Services bar to the icon representing the Bluetooth enabled modem in the list view. Or: • First run service discovery on the Bluetooth enabled modem. Then drag the FAX icon from the Local Services bar to the remote Bluetooth FAX service. Configuring fax application Now configure your fax application for the modem to be able to work as a fax machine. You can use the Microsoft fax software or a third party application like Symantex WinFax Pro. Follow the onscreen instructions to configure the fax application. For more information, please refer to the online help or other documentation accompanying your fax application. During the configuration of the fax application, you will be asked to select which port to use with the Bluetooth enabled modem. We recommend that you choose Bluetooth COM port 7, which is the default COM port providing Bluetooth DUN, LAN, and FAX. (You can choose an alternative Bluetooth COM port if you like. In some cases, this is necessary as some programs cannot detect COM ports higher than 4. For more information on Bluetooth COM ports, see “Bluetooth COM ports” – “General information” and “Bluetooth COM port settings”.)

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 49 Network In this section, we will focus on setting up and establishing Bluetooth networks. We will assume that you have some previous experience in ordinary, i.e. wired networks using Microsoft networking. If that is not the case, please refer to the Microsoft Windows online help for information on Microsoft networking. Setting up networks During the installation of the Bluetooth Software Suite, the installation program assigned a static IP address to the TCP/IP protocol bound to the Bluetooth Ethernet adapter. The settings made during the installation will be used when you establish a network link as described in the section "Network link establishment". You can, of course, change these settings as you like. The Bluetooth network works in the same way as if the computers were connected through a hub using a wired Ethernet. The settings made in Windows are used, exactly as if using Microsoft networking. Network link establishment Establishing a Bluetooth ad hoc network link is done in the same way as you establish other Bluetooth links: In the Bluetooth Neighborhood main window, drag the local service Network to the remote device, device folder, or service: When a network link has been established between a master and its slaves, this network is similar to connecting the same computers through a hub using a wired Ethernet. The settings made in Windows are used, exactly as if using Microsoft networking.

The default setting is 10 seconds, which should be enough in most cases. However, if for some reason it is difficult for two devices to discover each other, you can increase the duration. • In Device Discovery Period you can set the number of minutes that you want the intervals between automatic device discovery sessions to last. This function is active when in the item Device Discovery you have set automatic device discovery to take place periodically. • In Previously Discovered Devices you can have the Bluetooth Neighborhood list view display remote devices discovered during previous device discovery sessions. (This item is selected by default). If this item is not selected, the list view will only display the remote devices discovered during the latest session.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 64 • In Expire Discovered Devices you can decide to have discovered remote devices removed automatically from the Bluetooth Neighborhood list view when they have not been seen for a specified period of time. Note that if the dialog box item Previously Discovered Devices is not selected, the list view will only display the remote devices discovered during the latest device discovery. Trust The Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties – Trust dialog box concerns the trust relationship you want your local device to apply to newly discovered remote devices: How do you want your local device to react if a newly discovered remote device tries to establish a link to it? To open this dialog box: 1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties. 2. Click the Trust tab.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 65 You can decide whether your device should: – Reject a link establishment attempt; or – Prompt you before accepting link establishment; or – Accept link establishment automatically.

The location of each remote device (i.e. the box it is placed in) indicates which default trust relationship settings have been selected for it. To change the trust relationship setting for a device in the Advanced Link Policy dialog box: Drag the device from its present position into the box representing the trust relationship you want for the device. The new settings will now be applied to the remote device next time it attempts to connect to your local device. Security In the Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties – Security dialog box, you can make a number of decisions concerning the security of your local device. To open this dialog box: 1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties. 2. Click the Security tab.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 67 • Security Mode can be set to either No Security or Link level security. If a device has selected link level security, no remote device can connect to it without bonding (see “Bonding”). Furthermore, only when you have selected link level security can you use encryption (see below). • Encryption Mode can be enabled or disabled. Based on the use of a link key, this feature can only be enabled when link level security has been selected (see above). If encryption is enabled: When your device is communicating, only the linked devices will be able to understand the data sent between them. • Connectability Mode refers to whether or not remote devices having discovered your device will be allowed to establish a link to it. In other words, selecting non-connectable mode is a way of ensuring that no remote device can connect to your device. • Discoverability Mode refers to whether or not other devices will be allowed to discover your device. In other words, selecting non-discoverable mode is a way of preventing remote devices from discovering your device. The default settings are as shown in the examples (the illustrations) above. Note: If devices wanting to communicate have different security settings, the highest level of security required will be used. Imagine, for example, that a device requiring no security tries to establish a link to a device requiring link level security. Link establishment between the two devices will then require link level security (i.e. the devices will have to bond, both entering a pass key).

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 68 BondingBonding refers to the creation of a link key – a bond – between two devices. Bonding is used when a device requires link level security (see “Security” for information on how to do so). When a remote device attempts to connect to the device requiring link level security, the users of both devices will be prompted for a password. They must then enter the same password. The purpose of bonding is for two devices to be able to identify each other so that no remote device can connect without knowing the right password. This may be convenient if for example you do not want any other device than your own Bluetooth enabled phone to be able to connect to your computer. Other devices trying to connect will be prompted for the password, which prevents them from interfering in the connection. The duration of the bonding can be set to last beyond the current link; if so, the two devices will only be prompted for the password the first time they connect, i.e. when creating the bond. Both when creating the bond and when making use of an existing one, both devices must be in bondable mode. Below you will find information on how to set both bonding mode and duration. Settings concerning bonding are done in the Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties – Bonding dialog box. To open this: 1. On the Bluetooth menu, click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties. 2. Click the Bonding tab. • In Bluetooth Bonding, you can decide whether or not your device should be able to bond to other devices. The default setting is bondable mode. To be able to establish both a new bond, and to make use of an existing one, your device must be in bondable mode.

Bluetooth Software Suite Users Manual 69 • In Default Bluetooth Bonding Expiration, you can set bonding to expire when the link is disconnected, after a specified period of time, or never. (The default setting is: Never). Note: The settings you make in the Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties – Bonding dialog box are default settings that will be applied to all remote devices. For information on how to make settings for the duration of a bond between your device and a particular remote device, see the section "Remote Device Properties” – “Trust".
