About Bluetooth driver
OS standard driver of Microsoft should be used for the Bluetooth driver.
※When using Bluetooth, Bluetooth function is required for the personal computer.
We use following USB-Bluetooth Adapter
BT-MicroEDR2X, BT-Micro4 (PLANEX COMMUNICATIONS INC.)
http://www.planex.co.jp/product/bluetooth/bt-microedr2x/
This procedure is necessary for
performing a file transfer by Bluetooth

・Library : NfcWifiCtrl.dll
※Supported OS : Microsoft Windows 7 SP1
(5) Copy WiFi control library(DLL) to a personal computer.
※When using WiFi, WiFi function is required for the personal computer.
We use following USB-WiFi Adapter
WLI-UC-GNM2 (BUFFALO INC.)
http://buffalo.jp/product/wireless-lan/client/wli-uc-gnm2/
About WiFi function
Our development kit uses "Virtual Wi-Fi (wireless hosted network)" that is Microsoft Windows7 standard function.
So Virtual Wi-Fi-enabled WiFi adapter is required.
(Our development kit supports one Virtual Wi-Fi-enabled WiFi adapter)
※After the PC software startup (startup as administrator),
you can see whether your PC has Virtual Wi-Fi-enabled WiFi adapter.
If your PC has Virtual Wi-Fi-
enabled WiFi adapter,
IP address is displayed.
If your PC doesn't have Virtual
Wi-Fi-enabled WiFi adapter,
"NO Adapter" is displayed.
This procedure is necessary for
performing a file transfer by WiFi
