BlueSoleil
BlueSoleil is a Windows-based software from IVT that allows your Bluetooth®-enabled desktop or
notebook computer to connect wirelessly to other Bluetooth-enabled devices. BlueSoleil allows
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 devices.
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 can
perform different device roles simultaneously.
BlueSoleil supports the following Bluetooth profiles:
Bluetooth Functions (Profiles) Client Server
AV Headphone* 99
Basic Image Profile 99
Dial-Up Networking 9
Fax 9
File Transfer 99
Headset* 99
Human Interface Device 9

Security Configurations
Pair / Unpair Devices
Once a remote device has paired with your computer by exchanging passkeys, passkeys will no
longer be required for further connections between your computer and the device.
How to pair with another device
Automatically
If a passkey is required for the connection, the devices will be paired automatically the first time they
successfully exchange passkeys and connect. After a device has successfully paired with your
computer, the remote device icon will have a red check mark next to it.
Manually
In the Main Window, right click on the device icon and select Pair Device. In the Enter Bluetooth
Passkey dialog box, enter the same passkey that you enter on the remote device. After a device
has successfully paired with your computer, the remote device icon will have a red check mark next
to it.
How to unpair with another device
Manually
Right-click on the Bluetooth device icon and select Unpair. The red check mark next to the device
icon will disappear.
General Security
To access the security configuration screen, click My Bluetooth | Security…
Security Level
yLow: Low level security allows other Bluetooth devices access to your device without entering a
passkey. However, if the remote device requires a passkey to connect, then both devices need to
exchange passkeys.

14
yMedium: Medium level security allows the user to assign the appropriate level of access for each
specific service. For more details, see Local Services Security.
yHigh: High level security requires passkeys to be exchanged for every incoming and outgoing
connection, unless the two devices have already paired in the past.
Bluetooth Passkey
ySet Default Passkey: Use this setting to set a default passkey for all connections. BlueSoleil will
use this passkey whenever one is required.
Data Encryption
yEnable Data Encryption: If checked, the data transmitted will be encrypted.
