BlueSoleil Introduction
BlueSoleil is a Windows-based software from IVT that allows your Bluetooth® enabled desktop or
notebook computer to wirelessly connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices. BlueSoleil allows MS
Windows users to wirelessly access a wide variety of Bluetooth enabled digital devices, such as
cameras, mobile phones, headsets, printers, and GPS receivers. You can also form networks and
exchange data with other Bluetooth enabled computers or PDAs.
In order to connect and share services via Bluetooth wireless technology, two devices must support
the same Bluetooth Profile(s) as well as opposite device roles (i.e., one must be the server, and the
other must be the client). Bluetooth enabled devices often support multiple profiles, and if involved
in multiple connections, can perform different device roles simultaneously.
BlueSoleil supports the following Bluetooth functions (Profiles) in the following device roles:
