Introduction
The Sandberg USB to Bluetooth™ Link,
referred to as “the adapter”, enables you to
communicate wirelessly with Bluetooth™-
compatible devices. It allows you to transfer
data wirelessly at distances of up to 10
metres. The maximum data transfer speed
is 1 Mbit/s, and up to 7 wireless devices can
be connected at the same time.
Bluetooth™ is built into many devices.
Mobile phones, PDAs and printers are just a
few of the many devices with built-in Blue-
tooth™ support.
There are two versions of the Bluetooth™
standard, class 1 and class 2. Class 1 has a
greater range but consumes more power.
Class 2 has a smaller range but consumes
less power. The Sandberg USB to Blue-
tooth™ Link is a class 2 adapter.

Introduction to Bluetooth™
After the adapter is installed, you can estab-
lish a link to other Bluetooth™-compatible
devices. Establishing communication be-
tween the Sandberg USB to Bluetooth™ Link
and a Bluetooth™ adapter from another
manufacturer depends on the individual
model.
There are several ways of establishing
communication between the devices. These
are described below.
Services
Devices with Bluetooth™ installed will offer
to share their resources with other Blue-
tooth™ devices. These can be used by
double-clicking on the service via the Blue-
tooth™ icon on the Desktop. For example, a
computer with a modem installed will offer
the “Dialup Networking” service. If it also
had a program installed for sending fax
messages, the “Fax” service would also
appear. The service must be enabled by the
computer that has the modem installed.
This is done by right-clicking on the Blue-
tooth™ icon on the desktop, selecting
“Bluetooth Setup Wizard”, then “I want to
configure….” and selecting which functions/
services the computer should offer to other
devices.
Establishing communication via the
Bluetooth™ icon
If a Bluetooth™ device is within range of the
adapter, you can right-click on the Blue-
tooth™ icon on the desktop to start the
“Bluetooth Setup Wizard” and search for
other devices. When you establish a link
with a device, it must accept the request
before communication can proceed.
Pairing Bluetooth™ devices
One option for establishing communication
between two Bluetooth™ devices is to pair
them so that communication starts auto-
matically as soon as they are within range
of each other, i.e. within 10 metres. When
pairing two devices, a connection request
must be sent from one device and accepted
by the other. On the device initiating com-
munication, a PIN code of your choice must
be entered. This PIN code must also be
entered on the device that will accept pair-
ing. If the PIN codes match, the devices are
paired and communication can begin.
Whenever they are within reach of each
other, they will recognise each other and be
able to communicate automatically.
The advantage of pairing is that the devices
will then be immediately recognised as
paired and as such will be “approved” de-
vices that can communicate without the
need for further configuration. Another
advantage of setting up the devices so that
they can only communicate with paired
devices is that it prevents unauthorised
access.

It is not necessary to enter the PIN codes
again after the devices have been paired for
the first time.
The Sandberg USB to Bluetooth™ Link can
be configured to only accept paired devices
as follows:
1. Right-click on the Bluetooth™ icon on
the desktop.
2. Select “Advanced configuration”,
click on the “Accessibility” tab and
select “Only paired devices” in the
“Allow” field.
3. Click “OK”.
Bluetooth™ standards and com-
munication options
In addition to a physical standard, the
Bluetooth™ technology comprises a range
of profiles for various forms of communica-
tion. The Sandberg USB to Bluetooth™ Link
supports several profiles, including:
Bluetooth™ serial port
Enables two serial devices with Bluetooth™
to communicate wirelessly with each other.
During installation, a serial/COM port is
created which can be used for communica-
tion. Software designed to use the com-
puter’s serial/COM ports can thus communi-
cate in the same way as they would with a
serial cable.
Dialup Networking
Allows a modem on another Bluetooth™
device to be used to establish a “Dialup”
connection.
File transfer
Allows files to be transferred between com-
puters in the same way as a traditional
network.
Information interchange
Allows information such as appointments, e-
mails, business cards, etc. to be sent be-
tween devices, e.g. from a mobile telephone
to a computer.
ENGLISH

Network access
Allows access via Bluetooth™ to connect to
a local area network through one of the
computers on the local area network.

The accompanying software provides many
options for communication. The most impor-
tant functions are described below.
Establishing communication be-
tween the computer and other
Bluetooth™ devices:
1. Right-click on the Bluetooth™ icon in the

The following wizards can be launched by
right-clicking on the Bluetooth™ icon either
on the desktop or in the system tray, se-
lecting “Bluetooth Setup Wizard” and
choosing one of the following wizards:
• Select “I know the service I want to
use…” if you wish to use a specific
function on any Bluetooth™ device and
establish the connection to it. Click
“Next”. Select the device you wish to
use, click “Next” and then “Finish”.
• Select “I want to find a specific
Bluetooth™ device…” if you wish to
use the functions on a specific Blue-
tooth™ device and establish the connec-
tion to it. Click “Next”.Select the
device you wish to use, click “Next”,
select the functions/services you wish to
use and then click “Finish”.
• Select “I want to configure the Blue-
tooth™ services…” if you wish to
change the functions which the com-
puter offers to other Bluetooth™ de-
vices. Click “Next”. Select the func-
tions/services which the computer
should offer and click “Finish”.
• Select “I want to change the
name…” if you wish to change the
computer name and/or computer type,
enter the computer name and/or select
the computer type. Click “Finish”.
Pairing
As described above, many processes de-
pend on which Bluetooth™ device you wish
to communicate with. It is therefore advis-
able when pairing with a Bluetooth™ device
from another manufacturer to consult the
user manual for it, in conjunction with this
user manual if necessary.
If you wish to pair two Bluetooth™ devices,
follow the procedure below.
“Pairing” setup
1. Double-click on the Bluetooth™ icon on
the desktop. Click “View devices in
range”.
2. Right-click on the device you wish to
pair with and select “Pair device”.
3. You will then be asked for a PIN code.
Enter a code of your choice. Click “OK”.
4. On the other device, a dialog box will
appear or the Bluetooth™ icon will flash.
Enter the PIN code. This must be the
same code you entered in step 3. After
you have entered the PIN code, the
devices are paired.
The devices can now communicate with
each other automatically.

It is possible to use a range of services
between the two devices (see also section
on this), including file transfer. To transfer
files between two devices, do as follows:
1. On the computer where the file is lo-
cated, double-click on the Bluetooth™
icon on the desktop.
2. Then click on “View devices in range”
and double-click on the device you wish
to transfer the file to.
3. Double-click on “Public folder”. Drag
the file into this folder.
The location of the public folder can be
changed as follows:
1. Right-click on the Bluetooth™ icon in the
menu bar and select “Advanced con-
figuration”. Click on the tab “Local
services”. When you double-click on
the “File transfer” field, you can
change the path as required under
“Bluetooth exchange folder location”.
File transfer, etc. can also be carried out via
the serial profile, which establishes a serial
port using Bluetooth™.
Use Bluetooth™ as a network
access point
If you have a stationary computer equipped
with Bluetooth™, it would be very useful to
use it as an access point for the local area
network or Internet from Bluetooth™-
equipped PDAs or laptop computers. This
allows you to connect to networks without
using cables.
NB: To configure a computer as a Blue-
tooth™ access point, “Internet Connection
Sharing” must be enabled on the computer
through which the network is accessed
before you start to configure the client (the
device seeking network access through the
computer that serves as the access point).
