5. Local Services
Local Services are services that a Bluetooth server can provide, including Bluetooth Serial Port,
Dial-Up Networking, Fax, File Transfer, Information Exchange, Information Synchronization
and Network Access.
The server might not be able to provide all displayed services. For example, without a fax
modem, Fax service cannot be executed.
The services are set to be started automatically once the Bluetooth USB Adapter is initialized.
However, the automatic start-up can be turned off for individual services, and the services can be
started manually by right-clicking the service and selecting “Start” from the pop-up menu.
To terminate a local service, you can right-click the service and choose “Stop” from the pop-up
menu.
When a Local Device is selected, the Details view of Explorer provides the following basic
information of each local service:
! Service: shows the name of the service
! Startup: has 2 options (Automatic or Manual)
! Status:
" Started (COM): means that the service is running and ready to use COM#
" Not Started: means that the service is not running (not available for use by clients)
" Connected (COM#): means that the service is in use, and the local port is COM#
! Device name (if connected):
" Empty field: indicates that the service is not connected
" A device name and/or Bluetooth Device Address: shows the name and the address
of the device that is using the service.
Two ways to interrupt a connection from the server:
! Right-click the local service. Choose “Stop” from the pop-up menu.
! Right-click the local service. Choose “Start” from the pop-up menu to restart the
service.
