Overview
In this section, we will introduce the four
applications making up the Bluetooth Software
Suit: The Bluetooth Neighborhood, Configuration
Utility, Network Manager, and Control Center.
Bluetooth Neighborhood
The Bluetooth Neighborhood is where most
operations of the Bluetooth Software Suite are
carried out. From this application you can:
• Carry out device discovery, i.e. find out which
remote Bluetooth devices are active within
your range;
• Carry out service discovery, i.e. find out
which services (applications) a remote device
facilitates;
• Establish links to remote devices.
The Bluetooth Neighborhood is the main
application of the Bluetooth Software Suite, and
there is, of course, much more to be said about it.
Indeed, most of the descriptions and instructions
given in this manual concern the Bluetooth
Neighborhood.
Bluetooth Configuration Tool
The Bluetooth Configuration Tool is used for
managing virtual communications (COM) ports,
e.g. when you want to establish links to serial
devices like printers or modems. Furthermore, the
Bluetooth Configuration Tool allows you to test if
the system has been set up and works properly.
Bluetooth Network Manager
The Bluetooth Network Manager eliminates the
need to make new network settings every time
you want to switch between a Windows NT
domain and an ad-hoc Bluetooth network. With
the Bluetooth Network Manager, you can make
the settings once and for all and then, when you
want to change from one network to another,
simply select the desired profile from a list.
