2-5 Local_Services
Local Services are those services that a Bluetooth server is capable of providing.
The services provided by BTW are:
x Bluetooth Serial Port
.
x Dial-Up Networking.
x Fax.
x File Transfer.
x Information Exchange.
x Information Synchronization.
x 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, for example, 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 BTW is initialized.
Automatic start-up can be turned off for individual services (Bluetooth Configuration
window > 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 popup menu.
To stop a service that is running, right-click the service and select Stop from the popup
menu. Stopped services are not available for clients to use.
With Local Device selected, the Details view of Explorer provides basic information
about each local service:
x Service—the name of the service
x Startup—Automatic or Manual
x Status:
 Started (COM#)—the service is running and ready to use COM#
 Not Started—the service is not running (not available to clients)
 Connected (COM#)—the service is in use, the local port is COM#
x Device name if connected:
 Empty field—the service is not connected
 A device name and/or Bluetooth Device Address—identifies the device that
is using the service.
Connections are usually established and shut down by the client. If it is necessary to
interrupt a connection from the server side:
1. Right-click the local service and select Stop from the popup menu.
2. Right-click the local service and select Start from the popup menu to re-start the
service.
