3-2.6 CLIENT APPLICATIONS TAB
In the context of this guide, client applications are the local software that allows your
computer to interact with other Bluetooth devices that provide a similar local service.
For example, the Bluetooth Serial Port client application on your computer allows it to
establish a virtual COM port with a remote device that provides the Bluetooth
specification Serial Port Profile service.
The Client Applications tab options provide a means to configure each client application
individually for security, name, and other settings.
The Client Applications tab also has options to delete applications and/or add a user-
defined COM port. This is similar to the Add Serial Service feature on the Local
Services tab.
The BTW client applications share the same names as the BTW Local Services (see
Table 2, page 16). The following is a brief description of what each client application
is used for:
x Bluetooth Serial Port—configures a local virtual COM Port. Legacy applications
can then use the port.
x Dial-Up Networking—configures the over-the-air connection to a modem on a
remote device. The remote modem can then be used to connect to an Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
x Fax—makes a connection available for use when this device interacts with other
Bluetooth devices. The connection is used to fax documents as though the fax
device, for example, a fax modem, was physically attached to your computer. In
actuality, the fax is connected to the remote device.
x File Transfer—makes a connection available for use when your computer carries
out file system actions on a remote device:
 Obtain a directory list.
 Get and put files.
 Change folders.
 Delete files.
x Information Exchange—makes a connection available for use when your
computer wants to:
 Send to and receive business cards from a remote device.
 Receive calendar items, email messages, and notes from a remote device.
x Information Synchronization—makes a connection available to synchronize
personalize information management databases.
x Network Access—provides LAN access via a remote server.
