STEP 1: Install the Software

You must install SocketScan, but installing Connect!Agent is optional.

Should I install Connect!Agent?

Connect!Agent simplifies the Bluetooth setup and connection
process. Once the CRS is turned on and SocketScan is
running, Connect!Agent will automatically set up and manage
the Bluetooth connection. It runs in the background and
requires no interaction from the user. For Windows XP,
Connect!Agent is only compatible with the Socket (IVT)
BlueSoleil and Microsoft XP SP2 Bluetooth stacks.
