Introduction Nokia Connectivity Card is a PC Card (and a Compact Flash) device that establishes a wireless radio link (Bluetooth) between PCs with PC card or Compact Flash™ (CF+™) slot using Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluetooth wireless technology provides a virtual network of devices that can exchange data using microwave radio frequency, 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM band.
Low signal strength Due to either distance or obstacles, the radio signal strength from an access point may not be strong or stable enough to provide a reliable wireless connection for communication. Therefore, to ensure the best possible communication, remember to consider the following points: • Data connection works best when the Nokia Connectivity Card is in a stationary position. • Do not place the Nokia Connectivity Card on a metal surface.
Getting started Installation For instructions on installing the Nokia DTL-1, please see the separate Installation guide on the CD-ROM. Bluetooth Neighborhood Introduction With the Bluetooth Software Suite, you can establish wireless links between your computer and other Bluetooth enabled devices.
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. For information on the contents of the list view, see the section “List view”.
Services are used for link establishment While the function of the Local Profiles bar is to display the profiles your device supports, the Local Services bar is what you will actually be using 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 file transfer. You can transfer files between§ between your computer and other Bluetooth devices supporting the File Transfer profile.
Furthermore, the icons indicate it 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.
The following dialog box opens: 2. At the top of the dialog box, click the tab Settings. 3. In the item Bluetooth Device Name, type the name you want your device to present itself with when discovered by devices, for instance “Nokia DTL-1”: 4. Click OK. Other Bluetooth devices discovering your device will now see it as "Marco's laptop".
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 get to communicate with a remote Bluetooth device, it needs to discover the remote devices that are available within range. This activity is called device discovery. To carry out device discovery: On the Bluetooth menu, click Device Discovery. Or click Device Discovery button on the menubar.
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 (with discovered devices) 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 facilitates. To find out, you can carry out service discovery.
Link establishment When 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 computer with access to a modem, which would allow you to access the Internet.
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 (“Marko’s Laptop”) or My Inbox. Also, message boxes keep you informed of the progress of any activity, and let you know if anything goes wrong.
• 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 instance 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.
• 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” or like the business card in the above example. • Modified: The date when the object or file was last saved. Device folders What is a device folder? In the Bluetooth Neighborhood main list view, you can create device folders: folders containing a number of remote devices.
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. Both you and a remote user can do this.
A new icon on the Local Services bar shows that your default business card is now available for transfer to remote devices: From the Object Editor An alternative way of registering your default business card is by means of the Object Editor. To open the Object Editor: 1. On the Bluetooth menu, point to Profile Properties, and click OBEX Object Push. The OBEX Object Push Properties dialog box opens: 2.

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.
You can now choose: • 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.
If you have Microsoft Outlook: When you double-click a received object, it will open in Microsoft Outlook. If you do not have Microsoft Outlook: 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.
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 instance a VMessage: 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: a.
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.
In the above example, a file is being dragged from My Documents to the Shared Files folder of the remote device. • First carry out 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: finally drag the file from where it is stored to the list view displaying the contents of the remote Shared Files folder.
Bluetooth COM ports General information What is a Bluetooth COM port? 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. Bluetooth COM ports make it possible to connect to almost any Bluetooth enabled serial application (legacy application) that would otherwise have been connected using a cable and a physical COM port.
1. Open the Microsoft Control Panel. 2. Double-click Bluetooth Configuration Tool. The Bluetooth Configuration Tool dialog box opens: Adding Bluetooth COM ports To add a Bluetooth COM port: 1. In the Bluetooth Configuration Tool window, click Add. The following dialog box opens: 2. Use the arrows to go to the Bluetooth COM port you want to add and the profile you want to associate with it. In the above example, the Serial Port Profile is being associated with Bluetooth COM port 10.
Deleting Bluetooth COM ports If you want to delete a Bluetooth COM that you no longer need: 1. In the Bluetooth Configuration Tool window, highlight the Bluetooth COM port you want to delete, for instance COM6: 2. Click Remove. The following dialog box opens: 3. To confirm that you want to delete the Bluetooth COM port, click Yes. The Bluetooth COM port will now be removed from the Local Services bar. Note: Windows NT users have to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
To change the settings: 1. In Existing COM ports, click the Bluetooth COM port in question. 2. In Associated Profiles, check the profiles you want to associate with the Bluetooth COM port, or remove the ones you no longer want to be associated with it. 3. Click OK. Note: Windows NT users have to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
LAN The LAN service is used for accessing a Local Area Network through a dial-up networking gateway. You can use this service to establish a link to a remote Bluetooth enabled computer that has access to a LAN. The LAN service provides a Bluetooth COM port prepared for Bluetooth dial-up networking. You can use the LAN COM port with Microsoft dial-up networking in order to establish a LAN connection. Please refer to the Windows online help for instructions in how to use Microsoft dial-up networking.
For information on how to set up the program to dial up automatically when a DUN link is established, see “DUN Access settings”. Note: The Dial-up Networking Profile requires a Bluetooth COM port. By default, the profile is associated with Bluetooth COM port 7. For more information, see “Bluetooth COM ports”. FAX The FAX service is used for sending fax messages, using the fax software on your computer.
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 mentioned information appears from the item General Information: Enabling/disabling profile You can enable or disable each of the profiles that your device supports. If you enable a profile,remote users will be allowed to access the services associated with the profile. If you disablea profile, remote users will not be allowed to access the services associated with the profile. Enabling/disabling a profile is done from the Profile Properties dialog box.
Note: You can only disable a profile when your computer is not connected to any remote device. Object Push Settings The profile OBEX Object Push is used for transferring objects: messages, notes, cards (including the default business card), and calendar objects. In the Object Push Settings dialog box, you can view or edit the location of the physical Inbox folder and the default business card. To open the Object Push Settings dialog box: 1.
• Incoming Objects: Here you can decide if your device should: – Accept incoming objects of any type; or – Reject all incoming objects; or – Only accept incoming objects of certain types: Business cards, calendar objects, messages, and/or notes. • Outgoing Objects: Here you can select for remote devices to be allowed/not allowed to pull your default business card. By default, your device will automatically accept incoming objects, and it will allow remote users to pull your default business card.
• Shared Files Folder: By default, this folder is placed in My Documents in a folder named Bluetooth. However, you can move it to any location you want. To browse for a different location, click the "..." button. • Security: From this item you can make settings regarding which kind of access remote users will have to your local My Shared Files folder, i.e. whether they will be allowed to read, edit, and delete the contents of the folder.
Dial-up Networking settings In connection with DUN link establishment, the Bluetooth Software Suite can establish a dial-up connection automatically. Setting up the program to do so is done from the Dial-up Networking Properties dialog box. 1. On the Bluetooth menu, point to Profile Properties, and click Dial-up Networking. 2. At the top of the Dial-up Networking Properties dialog box, click the tab Dial-up Networking Settings. The following dialog box appears: 3.
At the top of the dialox box you can see the name of your local device, in this case “John's desktop”. (For information on how to name your local device, see “Naming your local device”.) Furthermore, the dialog box contains the items General Information and Connections: • General Information shows the identity information that, in addition to the name of your device, will be sent to remote devices carrying out device or service discovery on your device.
• Bluetooth Device Name: Here you can select a name for your device (cf. “Naming your local device”). • Bluetooth Device Class: Here you can provide the Bluetooth Software Suite with information on which class of device your computer belongs to: is it a desktop, laptop or server-class computer? This information will be given to remote devices having carried out device discovery on your local device.
• 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.
Advanced Settings: In this dialog box, each discovered remote device is located in one of three boxes: Reject link establishment attempt, Prompt before accepting link establishment, or Automatically accept link establishment. 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.
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).
• 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. Both to be able to establish a new bond and to make use of an existing one, your device has to be in bondable mode. • 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).
In this state, your Bluetooth device cannot communicate with other devices. • Enabled but not transmitting: Your device is ready to communicate with other devices. • Enabled and transmitting: Your device is communicating with one or more remote devices, or an attempt is being made to establish a link. Remote device settings Remote device properties General For information on the properties of a remote device: 1. Right-click the remote device. 2. Click Properties.
• General Information provides such identity information on the remote device as its address, device class, and service class. • Historical Information tells you when the device was last seen by your device, and when it was last linked to it. • Services used shows which services of the remote device are currently connected to your local device, if any. Also, you can see which role the remote device plays in the piconet, i.e. master or slave.
If you like, you can apply the selected trust relationship to all remote devices (as in the Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties –Trust and Bonding dialog boxes). To do so, click Apply to all devices • Device Bonding Expiration allows you to make settings concerning the duration of bonding between your device and the remote one. You can set the bonding to expire when the link is disconnected, after a specified period of time, or never. (The default settings is: Never).
6. In Loop Count you can see the number of loops tested. The number of Errors should always be: 0. If the test shows one or more errors, your hardware has probably not been installed correctly. We recommend that you: • Ensure that the hardware is installed correctly, whether a matter of inserting a PC card (cf. the Installation Manual). • Restart your computer.
