User’s guide 2. This User’s guide provides product and software descriptions, installation instructions, and user’s information for the Bluetooth™ Software Suite. If you need basic information on Bluetooth wireless technology, see the Installation guide on page 11. Both the Installation guide and this User’s guide are included on the Bluetooth Software Suite CD. These two documents are available from the Windows Start menu when you have the Bluetooth Software Suite.
The Bluetooth Neighborhood window To open the Bluetooth Neighborhood, double-click the shortcut placed on your desktop during installation. The Bluetooth Neighborhood window displays the following: 1. Menu bar: Contains standard Microsoft Windows® pull-down menus and a Bluetooth menu. 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.
4. View details: Displays various information on the items in the list-view. For more information, see “View details” on page 2-12. 5. Local Profiles/Local Services bar: Shows the local profiles or the local services that your Bluetooth device supports. For more information, see “Profiles and services”. 6. Status bar: Provides information on the item currently selected in the Bluetooth Neighborhood. 7. List-view: Displays the contents of the folder, remote device, etc.
Although the function of the Local Profiles bar is to display the profiles your device supports, the Local Services bar shows what you will actually use when operating the Bluetooth Neighborhood. Facilitated by a profile, each of the services represents a specific operation that your device can carry out. An example of a service is audio, or sound transfer, which is facilitated by the Generic Audio profile.
List-view The list-view in the main window contains three elements: My Inbox, My Shared Files, and a list of discovered remote devices. When an item is selected in the Bluetooth Neighborhood, such as My Inbox or a remote device, the list-view displays the contents of that item. My Inbox This is where your device receives objects like electronic business cards, messages, and notes. My Inbox is a folder of files like any other Windows folder, and its contents can be copied, renamed, and dragged and dropped.
Desktop computer Server-class computer 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 show the services facilitated by the remote device in question. Each service is represented by an icon. The icons will also indicate whether the devices are “linked," “bonded," or both. Linked Bonded Both The icons also indicate whether a remote device is in range or out of range.
Appendix B, “List view icons” on page B-1 contains a complete list of the various remote device and service icons. The list-view settings can be changed as in other Windows list-view settings; you can for instance change the size of the icons or have the elements displayed as a list. For Bluetooth Software Suite settings information, see “View details” on page 2-12.
3. In the Bluetooth Device Name field, type the name you want your device to present when detected by devices; then click OK. Other Bluetooth devices that detect your device now see it as the name you have set. Device discovery Before your local device can communicate with a remote Bluetooth device, it must discover the remote devices that are available and within range. This is called device discovery. To perform device discovery, do the following: 1. Click Bluetooth, then click Device Discovery.
2. When device discovery is finished, the list-view displays the remote devices within range that are currently available. You can also see previously discovered devices that are no longer available. Note: The main window list-view does not show your local device, only the discovered remote ones. There are alternative ways of performing device discovery: • When the main window list-view (with discovered devices) is displayed, press F5. This updates the list-view.
When the service discovery has been performed, the list-view displays the services that the remote device supports. In some situations, it might not be possible to carry out service discovery. There could be a number of reasons for this. For example, the remote user might have set up his device to reject link establishment attempts (see “The Trust tab” on page 2-51). If service discovery (or any other activity) is not carried out successfully, a window opens explaining what went wrong.
In some situations, it might not be possible to carry out link establishment. There could be a number of reasons for this. For example, the remote user might have set up his device to reject link establishment attempts (see “The Trust tab” on page 2-51). If link establishment (or any other activity) is not carried out successfully, a window opens explaining what went wrong. Disconnecting a link establishment To disconnect an established link to a remote device, do the following: 1.
View details In the Bluetooth window, you can change the settings of the list-view. For example, you can change the settings to view details. To view details, do the following: 1. On the menu bar, click View. 2. Click Details. You can also click the View icon on the tool bar 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.
Remote device details 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 the device to present when discovered by other devices. • Class: The type of the remote device (device class), such as a desktop computer, a notebook computer, or a mobile phone. • Status: Whether the remote device is within range. • Bonding: Whether your local device and the remote one have bonded.
• • • • Name: The name given to the object or file when it was saved. Size: The size of the object or folder. Type: The type of the object or folder, for instance “vCard File". Modified: The date when the object or file was last saved. Device folders In the Bluetooth Neighborhood main list-view, you can create device folders, which are folders containing a number of remote devices. You can communicate with a device folder the same way you can communicate with any single remote device.
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. Online help You can open the Bluetooth Software Suite online help by clicking the Help in the menu bar, or by pressing F1. Help provides you with links to the online version of this User’s guide. 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, click the Contents tab; to look up keywords, click the Index tab; and to search for text, click the Search tab. Local services This section provides information on the local services you can use with Bluetooth wireless technology. Object transfer In the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you can transfer such objects as business cards, email messages, and notes.
2. Arrange the Bluetooth Neighborhood and Microsoft Outlook Contacts windows so that both are visible on the screen. 3. Drag the item containing your own contact information into the Local Services bar.
A new icon on the Local Services bar shows that your default business card is now available for transfer to remote devices. Exchanging business cards from the Object Editor: If your computer does not have Microsoft Outlook, you can exchange business cards from the Object Editor. To exchange from the Object Editor, do the following: 1. On the Bluetooth menu, point to Profile Properties, and then click OBEX Object Push. The OBEX Object Push Properties window opens.
2. At the top of the window, click the Object Push Settings tab. 3. In the Default Business Card field, click 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, click File, then click Save. 6. Click OK to exit the Object Editor. The OBEX Object Push Properties window opens. Here you will see the name of your default business card, which is the same as the name typed in the Object Editor.
7. Click OK to complete the creation of the new default business card. A new icon on the Local Services bar shows that your default business card is now available for transfer to remote devices. To edit an existing business card, click Edit rather than Create New in step 3. 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 “Making default business cards available” on page 2-16.
From the Business Card sub-menu, you can select from the following: • • • Push business card: To transfer your business card Pull business card: To transfer a business card from a remote device Exchange business cards: To exchange business cards with a remote user Sending business cards directly from Microsoft Outlook Microsoft Outlook users can send objects (like messages or notes) directly from Microsoft Outlook.
Receiving objects When your local Bluetooth device receives an object (such as a default business card, message, or note) from a remote device, the object is placed in My Inbox. • If you have Microsoft Outlook, the object opens in Microsoft Outlook when you double-click it. • If you do not have Microsoft Outlook, the object opens in the Object Editor when you double-click it. You can open a received object directly from My Inbox, or you can drag the object to wherever you want to store it.
The Object Editor window opens. To create an object in the Object Editor, do the following: 1. Click File, then click New.
2. Click the object you want to create, such as a VMessage, VCard, or VNote. 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, as shown in the following illustration. 3. Type the information you want to be included in the object. 4. Save the object. • If the object is a message or a note, click File, then click Save As in the window where you typed the message or note.
5. Select the location and name of the new file. 6. Click Save. When you have saved the file, you can transfer it as you would any other file using the Bluetooth Neighborhood. For more information, see “File transfer”. 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.
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). • Perform service discovery on the remote device; then drag the file from where it is stored into the remote Shared Files folder. • Perform service discovery on the remote device; then open the remote Shared Files folder.
No matter which way you choose to transfer a file to a remote device, the user of that device receives the file in the Shared Files folder. Receiving files When your local Bluetooth device receives a file sent from a remote device, the file is placed in your My Shared Files folder. 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.
• Using your computer as a Bluetooth Speaker Phone: Connect to a Bluetoothenabled modem and make telephone calls, using the built-in microphone and speaker of the computer for the conversation. Link establishment There are two ways of establishing an audio link: • Drag the local service Audio to a remote device (or device folder). • Perform service discovery first, then drag the local service Audio to the remote service Audio.
2. Click enable or disable. When the speaker is enabled, you can make use of the speaker phone feature. For more information on audio settings, see “Audio settings” on page 2-43. Bluetooth COM ports Physical communications (COM) ports are used when two serial devices are connected by means of a cable. A Bluetooth COM port, however, is a virtual COM port providing a wireless alternative to a physical one.
The same profile must be associated with the local Bluetooth COM port and the remote one you want to connect to. Therefore, before you can establish a serial Bluetooth COM port link to a remote device, you must associate the Serial Port Profile with a Bluetooth COM port, and then add the Bluetooth COM port to your computer. For link establishment to be possible, the remote device must also have a Bluetooth COM port with the Serial Port associated with it.
2. Select the Bluetooth COM port you want to add and the profile you want to associate with it. Note: Some programs (like HyperTerminal) cannot detect COM ports higher than 4. You can add only Bluetooth COM ports that are not already in use. Only available Bluetooth COM ports are displayed on the list. 3. To confirm the settings, click Add. The new Bluetooth COM port is now included on the Bluetooth Neighborhood Local Services bar.
2. Click Remove. A window opens prompting you to confirm the port deletion. 3. To confirm that you want to delete the Bluetooth COM port, click Yes. The Bluetooth COM port is now removed from the Local Services bar. Associating and removing profiles from existing Bluetooth COM ports In the Bluetooth Configuration Tool window, you can see which profiles are associated with which Bluetooth COM ports. You change these settings to associate the profiles you need with an existing Bluetooth COM port.
Bluetooth COM port link establishment When you have added a Bluetooth COM port to the Local Services bar, you can establish a link to a remote device. To establish a link to a remote device, drag the Bluetooth COM port icon to the remote device (or device folder). You can also perform 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.
The LAN service provides a serial Bluetooth COM port connection for your convenience. This means that you can choose to use it for accessing a LAN, but you could use any other Bluetooth COM port as well. Note: To set up the LAN service, refer to the Windows user’s manual for instructions. Links can be established by dragging and dropping in the Bluetooth Neighborhood.
Note: To set up the DUN service, refer to the Windows user’s manual for instructions. Links can be established by dragging and dropping in the Bluetooth Neighborhood. Drag the DUN icon from the Local Services bar to one of the following in the list-view: • • The remote device (or device folder) The remote DUN service For information on how to set up the program to dial up automatically when a DUN link is established, see “Dial-up networking settings” on page 2-48.
Note: The FAX Profile requires a Bluetooth COM port. By default, the profile is associated with Bluetooth COM port 7. For more information, see “Bluetooth COM ports” on page 2-30. Setting up Bluetooth networks During the installation of the Bluetooth Software Suite, the Network Manager Wizard created two network profiles on your computer: one saving your current network settings and one to be used for Bluetooth piconet networking.
The Network Manager window opens, and you can view or change the network settings. The settings are used when you establish a network link as described in “Network link establishment”.
