6. Normally, the host device handles authentication and encryption.
If you require these options, and the host cannot be configured,
select the Authentication and Encryption check boxes.
7. Tap
Finish. The client serial port you have just set up is listed
under New in the Client Serial Ports list, with the assigned port
indicated.
Applications on the handheld can now use the client serial port you
have set up. If the host requires authentication, you must enter a PIN
to connect.
Providing Bluetooth services as a host
You can use the predefined Bluetooth host services on the handheld,
or create additional serial port services.
To provide a host service, turn on the Bluetooth radio (see page 53)
and make the device Discoverable (see page 54). If the service is a
serial port service, you may need to add or configure the service (see
Setting up a host serial port service below). Other host services do
not require any configuration because they use either pre-assigned
ports, or use the My Documents folder for file transfers. Other
services already have authentication and encryption enabled.
The GeoExplorer 2005 series handheld provides the following host
services:
Service Description
Basic
Imaging
Allows the client to preview, browse, and copy JPEG image files,
and to send JPEG files to the handheld.
File Transfer Allows a client to browse, copy, paste, and delete files and folders
on the handheld.
Note – File transfers are not supported between two GeoExplorer 2005 series
handhelds, as the client file transfer profile is not supported. The handheld
supports file transfers as a host device only.
Beam Object Allows the handheld and the client to beam files, contacts, tasks,
and appointments.
Serial Port Emulates an RS-232 serial (COM) port on the handheld. For more
