Chapter 5: Configuration

The Devices Tab

Note: During the scanning process, addresses are located first, followed by names. Only the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth radio cov- erage range will be retrieved.

The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When a service is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected during the scan.

The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.

At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once you highlight a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons become available.

Services

A discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to communicate, and you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles that can be activated include: DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial service), and LANPPP (LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is another available profile.

•To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then click on the Services button or double-click on the device entry.

Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a consider- able amount of time for the Services dialog box to appear – it may appear to be frozen.

Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box:

•Highlight the service to be activated.

•Press [SPACE] or right-click to display the Activation menu.

The Activation menu contains four options – Activate, Authenticate, Outgoing and Encrypt.

Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will appear in the Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or COM as the port name. BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but older applications assume serial ports are COM. When using COM as the port name, the Bluetooth manager will try to find and use a free port between COM7 and COM9. When using BSP as the port name, BSP2 to BSP9 are available for use. The port is available as soon as it is activated.
