Chapter 5: Configuration

The Devices Tab

Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a considerable 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.

Note: The CH column shows the RFCOMM channel of the service if the service is

RFCOMM-based. This information is not generally needed except for debugging purposes.

To add a service to the Outgoing port, an active service must first be deactivated. Then you can choose the Outgoing option from the Activation menu (highlight a service, right-click or press the [SPACE] bar to display the Activation menu).

The Authentication and Encryption options can be changed only before activation. To change these after activation, deactivate the service first, then change the options.

Once a service is activated, all the information regarding the service, including the RFCOMM channel number, is saved in the registry. (Some remote devices may change their RFCOMM channel numbers when they reboot, so your saved setting may not work when the remote device is rebooted. In that case, you must deactivate the service and reactivate it to detect the current RFCOMM channel.)

Set PIN

PINs can be set for each device by pressing the Set PIN button in the Devices tab, or you can skip this step and try to connect to the device first.

Important: The remote device must have authentication enabled, otherwise the PIN authentication will fail.

Highlight a device, click on the Set Pin button, and type the PIN.
