Introduction Introduction to Bluetooth The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices within a Personal Area Network. In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request a connection with another, where the second device accepts (or rejects) the connection. The originator of the request is known as the client.
Installing the Bluetooth Software Uninstalling a previous version of the Bluetooth software: If you are installing the Bluetooth software for the first time, please skip this section. Any previous versions of the Bluetooth software must be uninstalled before installing an upgraded version. Please uninstall the software by completing these steps: 1) Close any open programs and insert the Driver CD into your CD-ROM Drive. 2) The Autorun screen will appear. Click on Install Bluetooth Software.

Security Authentication Authentication is used to verify identity; it requires a passkey or link key from the remote device. When a remote device attempts access, a visual and/or audio warning notifies the local operator. If the notification is ignored, access is denied after a preset timeout. When devices are “paired,” those devices automatically exchange a link key and Authentication is carried out without operator intervention.
Security (cont’d) Pairing Devices Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each time a connection is attempted. Paired devices share a unique link key, which they exchange each time they connect. NOTE: The mate of a pair always appears in My Bluetooth Places, even if the mate is not turned on or is out of connection range. Paired devices remain paired even when • One of the devices is not on • • A service connection is interrupted or the service stopped One or both devices are rebooted.
Troubleshooting Cannot discover/detect the DBT-120. If the screen “No Local Bluetooth Device was detected” appears and you have checked that your DBT-120 is connected and configured correctly, the software code may not have been entered correctly. To change the security code, go to C:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\bin\BTFaeSec.exe and double click on BTFaeSec. Carefully enter the security code in the dialog box and click OK.
Troubleshooting (cont’d) Determine the Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) of my hardware device In the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, on the Hardware tab, in the Devices section, select the device you want to determine the address of. In the Device Properties section of the dialog box, the fourth entry, Device Address, is the BDA of the selected Bluetooth device.
