Introduction
Introduction to Bluetooth
The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless
exchange of data between two devices within a Personal Area Network.
In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a
connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request a
connection with another, where the second device accepts (or rejects) the
connection. The originator of the request is known as the client. The device
that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server. Many Bluetooth
devices can act as both client and server. A client Bluetooth device runs a
software program that requests a connection to another device as part of
its normal operation. For example, the program may request a connection
to a remote computer, a printer, or a modem.
Becoming a Bluetooth client normally requires an action by the device
operator, such as an attempt to browse a remote computer, print a file,
or dial out on a modem. Every Bluetooth device that provides a service
must be prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth software
is always running in the background on the server, ready to respond to
connection requests.
Introduction to the DBT-122 Bluetooth USB Adapter
The D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter is the perfect wireless solution for quick
and easy access to Bluetooth enabled devices. It is a class 2/3 low power
device and is bundled with Bluetooth Software which allows you to connect
to several Bluetooth devices at once. The wireless transmission range of
the D-Link DBT-122 Bluetooth USB Adapter is about 10 meters (30 feet). A
PC configured as the Bluetooth server can support up to seven Bluetooth
client devices with IP addresses being automatically assigned upon a
successful connection. The Bluetooth Software also provides Internet
sharing and security access between the server and clients.
After finishing the steps outlined in this manual, you will have the ability
to share information, obtain network access, and take full advantage of a
wireless connected environment.

Create a Connection
From the Bluetooth Icon in the System Tray
In the Windows system tray, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select Quick
Connect and then the Bluetooth service that you wish to use.
If this computer has created a connection to the desired type of service in
the past, the options on the shortcut menu are:
• The name(s) of any device(s) with which prior connections to this
type of service have been established. Select a name from the list to
re-establish connection.
• Other Devices…Select this option to search for additional devices
that potentially provide the desired service, select a device from the
list, and then click Connect.
If this computer has never created a connection to this type of service, the
only option on the shortcut menu is “Find Devices….” Select this option
to search for devices that potentially provide the desired service, select a
device from the list, and then click Connect.
Using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard
• From the Folders pane of Windows Explorer, right-click My
Bluetooth Places and select Bluetooth Setup Wizard
or
• In Windows Explorer, with My Bluetooth Places selected, from
the Bluetooth menu, select Bluetooth Setup Wizard
or
• From the Windows system tray: right-click the Bluetooth icon

Find Bluetooth Devices
Search for Devices looks for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays
the devices that it finds in My Bluetooth Places.
To start a search for devices, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places,
select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, and then, from the Bluetooth menu,
select Search for Devices.
NOTE: The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is
active.
Periodic Search for Devices
Bluetooth can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular
basis (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab).
One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that the wireless
connections allow. However, mobility means that devices may move in or out
of connection range during the time between the automatic updates
performed by Bluetooth. To be certain that the displayed list of devices in the
neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry is not enabled, force
an update of the device list using the technique described in Search for
Devices, above.
Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of
devices found because:
• Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of
devices (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab, on your
device).
• The unlisted device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth
Configuration Panel > Accessibility tab, on the un-listed device).
From Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood
From Windows Explorer:
• In the Folders pane, select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-
click a device name and select “Connect …” the desired service.
or
• In the Folders pane, expand Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, select
a device, and then, in the right pane, right-click a service provided by
that device and select “Connect to…”

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.

20
Bluetooth Connection Status
The Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box displays information about the
state of a connection and provides a means to disconnect an active
connection.
Display the Connection Status dialog box: in My Bluetooth Places, from
the Folders pane, select a device, and then, in the right pane of My Bluetooth
Places, right-click a service name and select Status from the shortcut menu.
The Information provided is:
• Status: “Connected” or “Not Connected”
• Device Name: the name of the device to which this computer is
connected.
• Duration: the length of time that this connection has been
established, displayed in hours, minutes and seconds. Depending on
the service, the connection may time out (automatically disconnect)
after a specific period of inactivity.
• Activity: the number of bytes sent and received over the connection.
• Signal Strength: a graphic indicator that ranges from Too Weak
through Good to Too Strong.
The controls in the Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box are
• Properties button: displays the Bluetooth Properties dialog box for
this connection.
• Disconnect button: closes this connection.
• Close button: closes the Bluetooth Connection Status dialog box.
Bluetooth Software Basic Operations (cont’d)
• PIM Synchronization—allows two Bluetooth devices to synchronize
Personal Information Manager data.
• Network Access—allows a device to access a Local Area Network
via a second Bluetooth device that is physically connected to the
network or allows a remote device to become part of an ad hoc
network provided by the Bluetooth server.
• Audio Gateway—allows the microphone/speakers on Bluetooth
device (typically a computer) to be used as the audio input/output
mechanism for a remote Bluetooth device, such as a cell phone.
All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services. For
example, network gateways may provide only the Network Access service.
NOTE: To change the power transmission level of this computer: from the Bluetooth
Configuration Panel, Hardware tab, click the Advanced button, and then change the
setting in the Maximum Power Transmission drop-down list. The Advanced button is
not available in all countries.
