Using the Bluetooth Stack When you plug in your Bluetooth adaptor for the first time Windows will detect it and install the Bluetooth stack. At this point it will ask you to give your PC a name. This is the name that other devices will see if you make your PC visible to them. Use a name that is memorable. Once the USB adaptor is installed you will see a Bluetooth icon on the task bar at the bottom right of the screen.
Pairing your Bluetooth devices Pairing is a feature of Bluetooth that allows devices to make secure connections. Although you do not always need to pair devices to exchange data, if you are likely to send information between them on a regular basis it is a good idea to do so. To pair a device using the Bluetooth stack you need to click on the Bluetooth Icon in the task bar and then select Add a Bluetooth Device. Click Add.
Your PC will then start looking for Bluetooth devices that are discoverable and within range. This may take up to a minute. You will then be given a list of the devices that have been found. If your phone or PDA does not appear on the list then it is probably because it has been set up as hidden or non-discoverable. Dig out the manual (that thing you didn’t get around to reading) and find out how to make it visible. Then try again by pressing Search Again.
Windows will display the number for you to enter in your Bluetooth device: Enter this into your phone or PDA and then press OK. If the pairing is successful you will see the final screen on your PC, confirming that the devices have been paired.
At this stage Windows assigns two COM ports to your Bluetooth device – one for incoming and one for outgoing connections. You will need to use these if you run communications programs that connect your PC to your Bluetooth devices. Typical applications include PC Suite for Nokia and Sony Ericsson handsets and Easy Studio for Samsung handsets.
[Windows 7] To pair a device using the Bluetooth stack you need to click on the Bluetooth Icon in the task bar and then select Add a Device.
Connecting the device you selected. Windows generates the paring code for security verification. Click Yes and Next to do paring Click No and Next to reject paring Click The device is not displaying a code and Next to paring without showing code.
The window shows after paring is done. Click Close to show current connection status.
Sending Data from your phone The Bluetooth stack protects your PC by making it invisible to other devices. However it still allows you to send information and files from a Phone or PDA, but you need to initiate the transfer from your PC. To do this, click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray and select Receive a File. Bluetooth stack now makes your PC discoverable for a limited time, and also enables the file receive software. Once this is complete it shows the ready to receive screen.
Now select the picture or file you want to send from your phone, and select the option to send it via Bluetooth. You should see a list of devices on your phone. Note: It only allows access for a limited time. If your phone cannot find your PC it may be because you’ve taken too long. Check that the PC is still displaying the Waiting for a connection screen. It will prompt out “Bluetooth File Transfer Access Authentication” window once your phone connects to Bluetooth device and ready to send.
Sending files from your PC It’s very easy to send files to another Bluetooth device with the Bluetooth stack. Just right click on the file you want to send, then select Send a File to Bluetooth Device. You can select a file from your desktop or a file list in Windows Explorer. Note: You cannot currently send from the File, Send menus in Word, Exchange or other Office programs. Windows will display a list of the devices that have been set up already (paired).
Click Browse to choose the file and click Next while you’re ready to send out. Show up file sending status window.
Once the transfer is complete, Windows will finish the Transfer Wizard and display details of the transfer.
Making your PC discoverable The Bluetooth stack defaults to keeping your PC invisible. This is the safest way of operating Bluetooth on a PC. However, some applications may require the PC to be in discoverable mode. To change this, click on the Bluetooth Icon in the task bar and then select Open Bluetooth settings, then choose the Options tab. Select the Turn discovery on box and click OK.
