Chapter 8. Windows Troubleshooting

This chapter provides basic troubleshooting tips when using the Asanté Bluetooth software with Windows.

1. Cannot connect to a paired device

Paired devices are always displayed in My Bluetooth Places, even if the remote device is out of range or not powered up.

Verify that the remote member of the pair is within radio range and powered up and then attempt the connection again.

2. Cannot discover services on an un-paired remote device

The remote device may not be powered up or may be out of range. Verify that the remote device is powered up.

Verify that the remote device is in Connectable mode (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Accessibility tab).

Perform a Search for Devices to verify that the device is within range.

3.Dial-up Networking service does not start

The Dial-up Networking service will not start unless a properly configured modem is attached to the server.

Verify that the modem is usable as a local device from the server.
