Bluetooth Software Basic Operations
(cont’d)
Find A Service
The process of determining the services that a device provides is called
Service Discovery.
To initiate a Service Discovery
,
in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth
Places, right-click a device name and select Discover Available Services
from the shortcut menu.
Bluetooth services are those things that this computer can do for remote
Bluetooth devices. For example, if this computer allows a remote Bluetooth
device to send a fax using a fax modem that is physically attached to this
computer, then this computer is providing the Bluetooth fax service.
Some services are hardware dependant; this computer cannot provide the
fax service unless it has a physical fax modem, for example.
Some Bluetooth services use virtual “hardware.” The Bluetooth Serial Port
service, for example, does not use a physical port on this computer. Instead,
it creates virtual serial ports 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 Bluetooth starts. Each service can be setup to
require security measures before allowing a remote Bluetooth device to
connect.
Bluetooth services require a Bluetooth application on the remote device;
services and applications usually have coinciding names; i.e., there is a
Bluetooth Fax Service and a Bluetooth Fax Application.
The services supported by Bluetooth are:
•
Bluetooth Serial Port—a wireless connection between two devices.
This connection can be used by applications as though a physical
serial cable connected the devices.
•
Dial-up Networking—allows a device to use a modem that is
physically attached to another Bluetooth device.
•
Fax—allows a device to send a fax using a remote Bluetooth cell
phone, modem, or computer.
•
File Transfer—allows a device to perform file system operations on
another Bluetooth device; browse, open, copy, etc.
•
Headset—allows a Bluetooth headset to be used as the audio input/
output mechanism for another Bluetooth device, such as a computer
or cell phone.
•
PIM Item Transfer—allows two Bluetooth devices to exchange
Personal Information Manager data such as business cards,
calendar items, email messages, and notes.
