Bluetooth Networking Overview
Bluetooth wireless technology lets you make short-range (typically within a distance of 10 meters)
wireless connections between your computer and other Bluetooth enabled devices. Bluetooth
functionality is enabled by the Bluetooth radio that is installed on your computer.
Types of Bluetooth enabled devices you can use with your Bluetooth enabled computer include (but
are not limited to):
•Audio headsets and headphones
•Human interface devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or game controller
•Mobile phones
•Other computers
•Media players
•Digital cameras
•Printers
When you add a Bluetooth enabled device (also referred to as pairing with the device), your computer
discovers the services that the device provides. These services determine the things you can do with
the device. Here are some of the things you can do with various Bluetooth enabled devices:

Terminology
audio headset

Bluetooth device
Bluetooth enabled hardware such as a computer, printer, fax machine, mouse, keyboard, mobile

Bluetooth Exchange Folder
The highest-level folder on a Bluetooth enabled computer to which another Bluetooth device has
access. Devices that have been granted access to Bluetooth Exchange Folder also have access to all
subfolders contained within that folder and all files in those subfolders.
CAUTION: The default folder for Bluetooth file exchanges is named Bluetooth Exchange Folder
and is located in My Documents. You can choose a different folder for exchanging Bluetooth files;
however do not select the root directory (for example, C:) or a system folder. Selecting the root
directory or a system folder creates the potential for remote devices to harm the operating
system on your computer.
Bluetooth Exchange Folder is used to store received files. The location and name of the folder can be
specified on the Share tab of  . If you change the location or name of the folder, the

Add a Bluetooth Enabled Device
To add a Bluetooth enabled device to your computer, you can use the Bluetooth icon located in the
taskbar notification area or you can use a menu item in the Bluetooth Devices control panel
NOTE: Before a Bluetooth device can be found, it must be within range and set to be
discoverable. For information about how to set a particular device to be discoverable, check the
user guide that came with the device.
To add a device using the Bluetooth icon:
Click the Bluetooth icon , click Add a device, and follow the onscreen instructions. The Add a
device wizard handles the pairing process.
To add a device using the Bluetooth Devices control panel:
1.Double-click the Bluetooth icon , and then click Show Bluetooth Devices.

Make a Network Connection to Another Bluetooth Enabled
Computer or to a Personal Area Network (PAN)
You can make a network connection from your computer other Bluetooth enabled devices. A network
connection can be used to share files, synchronize calendar and contact items, or gain access to a
network available on the other device.
There are three methods to make a network connection:
•Directly connect to another Bluetooth device for file sharing or gaming.
•
Connect to a personal area network (PAN). When connected to a PAN, your computer can access files
and services on any other Bluetooth enabled device connected to the PAN.
•
Connect to another Bluetooth device using the Network Access feature. This connection type enables
your computer to access the Internet using the connection available on the other device.
To connect to another Bluetooth enabled device:
1.
If you have not already done so, pair with the Bluetooth enabled device you want to make a networ
k
connection to (see ).
2.Double-click the Bluetooth icon , and then click Show Bluetooth Devices.
3.
Right-click the device you want to make a network connection to, click Connect using, and then
select one of the following options:
•Direct connection: Creates a direct connection with another device.
•Ad hoc network: Connects your computer to a PAN.
•Network access: Enables your computer to use the Internet connection from the other device.
NOTE: The network connection types that display depend on the services offered on the other
device.

Check the Working Condition and Status of My Bluetooth
Adapter
The appearance of the Bluetooth icon (located in the taskbar notification area) indicates the working
condition and status of your Bluetooth adapter:
The adapter is working and is turned on.
The adapter is either not working or is turned off.
If the appearance of the Bluetooth icon indicates that the Bluetooth adapter is either not working or
is turned off, click the Bluetooth icon , and then click Turn Adapter On. If the Bluetooth icon does
not display, the adapter has been turned off with a hardware switch on your computer and must be
turned on with the hardware switch. Check the manual that came with your computer for information
about the location of the switch and for instructions on how to use it.

The services of Bluetooth enabled devices that you have add to the computer are displayed on the
device control panel.
To open the device control panel:

1.If you have not already done so, add the device you want to use (see ).
2.Double-click the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar notification area.
3.Double-click the icon for the device, or right-click the icon and select Control.
The operations that you can perform with a specific Bluetooth enabled device are listed under Device
Operations. These operations correspond with the services that the device provides.
NOTE: Because of corporate security policies, some expected operations might not be available
because the corresponding device services have been disabled by the IT administrator. Contact
your IT administrator for more information or if you have any questions.
A Connect button is provided for those operations in which it is desirable for the connection to persist
until you decide to disconnect. When the connection is made, a green check mark is displayed next to
the Bluetooth icon image, the label on the button changes to Disconnect, and the description of the
operation changes to indicate the reverse of what was originally stated.
Under Settings, you can view and change the settings that control the interaction between the device
and your computer. These vary depending on the Bluetooth device type.
The following illustration shows the control panel for a Bluetooth enabled computer.

Play Audio Stored on My Bluetooth Enabled Device
Through My Computer
You can play audio on another Bluetooth enabled device and listen to it on this computer’s speakers or
headset. This may be convenient when this computer is better equipped with sound devices, but the
Internet content, audio file, or DVD you want to listen to resides on the other Bluetooth device. This is
referred to as streaming audio from one Bluetooth device to another.
