Chapter Five Local
Services
Local Services are those services that a
Bluetooth server is capable of providing.
The services provided by
Bluetooth for Windows are
 Bluetooth Serial Port
 Dial-Up Networking
 Fax
 File Transfer
 Information Exchange
 Information Synchronization
 Network Access
The names of all the services are
displayed even though the server may not
be capable of supporting all services. For
example, when a server provides a service
that is hardware-dependant, that server
must be capable of local action, i.e., a
Dial-up Networking server must have a
working modem, a Fax server must have a
functional fax modem, and a Network
Access server must be physically
connected to the Local Area Network.
All services start automatically by default
when Bluetooth for Windows is
initialized.
Automatic start-up can be turned off for
individual services (Bluetooth
Configuration Panel, Local Services tab,
double-click the service name). If a
service is not configured to start
automatically it can still be started
manually (right-click the service and
select Start from the pop-up menu).
Stop a local service
Right-click the service and select Stop
from the pop-up menu. Stopped services
are not available for use by clients.
With Local Device selected, the Details
view of Explorer provides basic
information about each local service:
 Service the name of the service
 Startup automatic or Manual
 Status:
 Started (COM#) the service is running
and ready to use COM#.
 Not Started the service is not running
(not available to clients).
