4 Find a Service (Service Discovery)
After BTW has identified the available Bluetooth servers within connection range the
client can make use of the services provided by those servers. The process of
determining the services that are available is called Service Discovery.
The services supported by BTW are:
Bluetooth Serial Port
establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between
two devices. The connection mybe used by applications as though a physical
serial cable connected the devices.
Dial-up Networking
allows a Bluetooth client to use a modem that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
Fax
allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send a fax using a device that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
File Transfer
establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection that allows your
computer to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth-enabled device
brows, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc.
Information Exchange
establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between
two devices so that they can exchange personal information manager data such
as business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.
Information Synchronization
establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection
between two devices and uses the connection to synchronize Personal
Information Manager data between the two devices.
Network Access
establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between the
client and the server that is physically connected to the Local Area Network. If
the client has permission (user name and password for the LAN), the wireless
connection can be used as if the client were hardwired to the LAN.
All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services. For example:
z Network gateways such as those in WIDCOMM’s BlueGate series only
provide access to the Local Area Network (the Network Access service).
z A Bluetooth-enabled cellular telephone may provide only:
¾ Dial-up Networking (access to the Internet).
¾ A Bluetooth Serial Port (used to exchange PIM information with your
computer).
To determine which services are provided by a Bluetooth device, right-click the
device and select Discover Available services from the popup menu.
