A list of these services can be seen by clicking View My Bluetooth services (Windows XP) or double-clicking My Device
(Windows 2000). These services are also listed on the
Local Services tab of Bluetooth Configuration.
Not all Bluetooth servers necessarily provide all of these services. For example, network gateways may provide only the
Network Access service. To see which services are enabled by this computer, click (or double-click, as necessary)
Bluetooth Setup Wizard, click I want to configure the Bluetooth services that this computer will provide to remote
devices, and then click Next. Services that are enabled are indicated by a check mark in the check box next to each
service name in Bluetooth Service Selection.
Some Bluetooth services are hardware dependent; for example this computer cannot provide the fax service unless it has
a physical fax modem. Some Bluetooth services, such as the Bluetooth Serial Port, use virtual hardware. As such, a
physical port on this computer is not required. Instead, virtual serial ports are created that Windows applications can see
and use as if they were actual physical ports.
Each Bluetooth service that this computer is capable of providing can be started automatically when the computer starts
and the Bluetooth Adapter is inserted into the USB port. Each service can be set up to require security measures before
allowing a remote Bluetooth wireless device to connect. See
View or Modify Configuration in Bluetooth Tasks.
In general, using Bluetooth services provided by other devices on this computer involves the following steps:
1. Finding a remote device that has the service you want to use. See View Devices in Range and Bluetooth Setup
Wizard in Bluetooth Tasks.
2. Pairing this computer with the remote device (if a secure connection is desired or required). See Establish
Pairing in Bluetooth Tasks.
3. Discovering the service on the remote device. See Discover Services in Bluetooth Tasks.
4. Connecting the service on this computer to the service on the remote device. See Making a Connection in
Bluetooth Tasks.
NOTE: You must establish a connection with a remote device before you can use a service provided by that
device. Devices that configured for Secure Connection, however, must paired before a connection can be
made. This is done automatically. To manually pair a device with this computer see Establish Pairing in
Bluetooth Tasks.
