4 Local Services
4.1 LOCAL SERVICES
Local Services are those services that a Bluetooth server is capable of providing.
The services provided by BTW are:
• Bluetooth Serial Port
• Dial-Up Networking
• Fax
• File Transfer
• Information Exchange
• Information Synchronization
• Network Access.
The names of all the services are displayed even though the server may not be capable of
supporting all services. For example, when a server provides a service that is hardware-
dependant, that server must be capable of local action, i.e., a Dial-up Networking server
must have a working modem, a Fax server must have a functional fax modem, and a
Network Access server must be physically connected to the Local Area Network.
All services start automatically by default when BTW is initialized.
Automatic start-up can be turned off for individual services (Bluetooth Configuration
Panel, Local Services tab, double-click the service name). If a service is not configured to
start automatically it can still be started manually (right-click the service and select Start
from the pop-up menu).
To stop a local service: right-click the service and select Stop from the pop-up menu.
Stopped services are not available for use by clients.
With Local Device selected, the Details view of Explorer provides basic information
about each local service:
• Service—the name of the service
• Startup—Automatic or Manual
• Status:
! Started(COM#)—the service is running and ready to use COM#
! Not Started—the service is not running (not available to clients)
! Connected(COM#)—the service is in use, the local port is COM#
• Device name if connected:
! Empty field—the service is not connected
! A device name and/or Bluetooth Device Address—identifies the device that
is using the service.
To interrupt a connection from the server side:
• Right-click the local service and select Stop from the pop-up menu.
• Right-click the local service and select Start from the pop-up menu to re-start the
service.
