5.2 BLUETOOTH DEVICE IDENTITY

Every Bluetooth device has a unique 48-bit binary Bluetooth Device Address (BDA)

burned into its EEPROM. This address cannot be changed by the end-user.

A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format; 00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a

valid BDA. You can find the BDA from the Bluetooth Configuration Panel -> Hardware tab

-> Device Address.

Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable, user-friendly name to help

distinguish it from other Bluetooth devices. The user-friendly name may be up to 99

alphanumeric characters in length and may contain spaces. My Personal Computer is a

valid user-friendly name.

5.3 BLUETOOTH TRAY

The Bluetooth tray resides in the Windows system tray

, which is normally located in the

lower-right corner of the screen. The Bluetooth tray provides fast access to most

Bluetooth operations.


From the Bluetooth tray you can:

Access My Bluetooth Places—double-click the Bluetooth icon, or right-click the

Bluetooth icon and then select Explore My Bluetooth Places.

Access the Bluetooth Setup Wizard. This wizard will help you:

Configure how this computer accesses a service on another Bluetooth device

Locate remote Bluetooth devices

Configure the way that this computer provides services to remote Bluetooth

devices

Set the name and type of this Bluetooth device, e.g., “Peter’s PC” and

“Desktop.”
