STEP 1: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE
You must install SocketScan, but installing Connect!Agent is optional.
Connect!Agent is only compatible with the IVT BlueSoleil, Toshiba and
Microsoft XP SP2 Bluetooth stacks.
Should I install Connect!Agent?
Connect!Agent simplifies the Bluetooth setup and connection
process. Once the CHS is turned on and SocketScan is
running, Connect!Agent will automatically set up and manage
the Bluetooth connection. It runs in the background and
requires no interaction from the user.
