Chapter 3. Configuring Bluetooth

After installing the Asanté Bluetooth software, plug your FriendlyNET FBT100 adapter into an available USB port on your PC. Since the adapter draws very little power, you may even connect it to a bus-powered hub (like the FriendlyNET VU104).

Troubleshooting Tip: If your adapter is not properly plugged into your PC, you may see the icon with a red X in your system tray (bottom right corner of your Windows desktop). This indicates that your local area network connection (Bluetooth) is not connected. The second icon is a shortcut to the Bluetooth configuration utility.

Note: If you are using the Bluetooth services provided by Microsoft (for Windows XP), the features described in this chapter do not apply to you. This chapter only describes the Bluetooth utilities provide by Asanté.

BLUETOOTH CLIENTS AND SERVERS

Most Bluetooth-enabled devices can act as a client, server or both (simultaneously):

•Server: these devices provide one or more services, such as access to the Internet, to other Bluetooth devices.

•Client: these devices use the service(s) provided by Bluetooth servers.

CONFIGURING BLUETOOTH

Before you can use Bluetooth services, you may want to review the configuration settings of the adapter. Right click on the Bluetooth icon in the Windows system tray (bottom right corner of the desktop) and choose Explore. An Explorer-type window with My Bluetooth Places will be open.
