Note: The main window list view does not show

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. Double-click the remote
device in the main window list view:
When the service discovery has been carried out,
the list view will show the services that the remote
device supports:
In some cases, it may not be possible to carry out
service discovery. There could be a number of
reasons for this: The remote user may have set
up his device to reject link establishment attempts
(cf. “Bluetooth Neighborhood properties” – “Trust”
and “Remote device properties” – “Trust”
), the
distance between the two devices may be too far,
etc. If service discovery (or any other activity) is
not carried out successfully, a message box will
let you know what went wrong.
