DUN
What is Bluetooth DUN?
Dial-up Networking (DUN) is used for accessing
the Internet.
Whether you use Bluetooth or not, the procedure
is as follows: First, connect a modem to your
computer. Then, to be able to use the modem,
configure your Dial-up Networking application
(more information below). Using the modem, you
can now establish a connection between your
computer and your Internet Service Provider via
the public telephone network. You are on the
Internet!
Bluetooth DUN eliminates the need for a cable for
the connection between your computer and the
modem. In other words, the Bluetooth DUN
service allows you to connect wirelessly to a
Bluetooth enabled modem – by means of which
you can access the Internet.
Configuring Dial-up Networking application
To use DUN, first you have to configure your Dial-
up Networking application. This is a standard
Windows component. Please refer to the
Windows on-line help for information on how to
open the Dial-up Networking application. Follow
the on-screen instructions.
During the configuration of the Dial-up Networking
application, you will be asked to select which port
to use with the Bluetooth enabled modem. We
recommend that you choose Bluetooth COM port
7, which is the default COM port providing
Bluetooth DUN, LAN, and FAX. (You can choose
an alternative Bluetooth COM port if you like. For
more information on Bluetooth COM ports, see
“Bluetooth COM ports” – “General information”
and “Bluetooth COM port settings”
.)
You will also be asked to type a name for the
computer you want to dial (i.e. the server of the
Internet Service Provider). You can type any
name you want, for instance “My Internet link”.
Connecting computer to Bluetooth enabled
modem
When the Dial-up Networking application has
been configured, you are ready to establish a link
between your computer and the Bluetooth
enabled modem. To do so, first carry out device
discovery to have the Bluetooth Neighborhood list
view display an icon representing the Bluetooth
enabled modem. Then:
