2.4 Establish Connection
NOTE: These are generic instructions for any type of Bluetooth enabled device. Refer to the
instructions in Chapter 3, Bluetooth Profiles for specific details for the type of service you plan
to use.
Normally, a connection is initiated from the client. On the server side, start the service; on the
client side, initiate the connection.
2.4.1 Start the Service
If you would like to use your computer as a server in a Bluetooth connection, you must first start
(enable) the appropriate service(s) on your system.
1) Access the Service Window. Click View | Service Window.
2) If the icon for a service is highlighted (yellow), the service has already been started. If the icon
is white, then you need to start the service in order to use it; right-click the icon. In the pop-up
menu, select Start Service. The icon should now be highlighted (yellow). Serial Port icons will
also report which COM port is assigned to them.
NOTE: Icons will appear only for Bluetooth functions (profiles) which BlueSoleil supports in the
Server device role. See the chart in Chapter 1.1, Bluetooth Functions. Depending on your system,
multiple icons for Serial COM ports may appear.
After you have started the service in BlueSoleil, now you are ready to initiate the connection
from the remote device. For instructions, refer to the user documentation for the remote device.
2.4.2 Initiate the Connection
If you would like to use your computer as a client in a Bluetooth connection, make sure that you
have started (enabled) the service on the remote device. Otherwise, BlueSoleil will not be able to
discover the service and connect to it. For instructions, refer to the device’s user documentation.
