Managing Bluetooth devices
Before your Red-M Blade can connect to any other Bluetooth
device it must first discover other Bluetooth devices within
range.
You can discover all Bluetooth-enabled devices within range of
your Red-M Blade by performing a ‘device discovery’. Once
discovered, you can move devices into categories such as
Phones, Computers and Access Points, for easy management and
automated connection to each Bluetooth service.
Using categories
Each Bluetooth service (Dial-up, LAN access and Serial) has a
default device category assigned to it. Whenever a Bluetooth
connection is requested, your Palm Vx handheld will
automatically connect to a device in the Bluetooth service’s
default category. For example, if you place your mobile phone
into the Phones category, you can specify that each time you
make a Bluetooth Dial-up networking connection, your Palm Vx
handheld should connect to a device in the Phones category.
Similarly, if you put a Red-M Access Point into the Access Points
category, you can specify that each time your Palm Vx handheld
makes a LAN Access connection, it should connect to a device
from the Access Points category.

LAN Access, Bt Dial-up, Bt Serial and Bt
