Device Ico ns Devices are physical things, su ch as computers, cameras, headsets, etc. Devices can be represented by icons in My Bluet ooth Places. Each type of device is represented by a different icon. The device icons have three states as described bel ow: Normal : Devices that are present in the vicinity are represented by a plain icon. For example, this icon represents a desktop computer in a normal state. Connected : Devices that are conne cted to this computer are represented by an icon with a green tint and / or a small butting arrows box added to them. For example, this icon represents a cellular telephone that is connected via Bluetooth to this computer. Paire d : Devices that are paired with this computer are represented by a normal icon with a small check box added to it. For example, this icon represents a Personal Digital As sistant (PDA) that is paired with this computer. NOTE: There are some diffe rences between the device icons used by Wi ndows 9x, ME, and 2000, and those used by Wi ndows XP and Vista. Service Icon s Services are what a Bluetooth device can do for other Bluetooth devices, such as provide access to a local area n etwork, or th e ability to send a f ax. Some devices, su ch as headsets or netwo rk access points, may provide on ly a single service. Others, such as desktop and lapto p computers, can potentially provide all of the Bluetooth servi ces. Single-service devic es often use virtuall y the same icon f or the service as that used for the device. For examp le, the headset service icon is identical t o the headset device icon. Multiservice devices use a different icon f or ea ch service that they provide. Service i cons have three st ates as de scribed belo w: Normal : This plain icon indicates that a specific service is p otentially available from the selected device. For example, this icon indicates that the Bluetooth serial port service may be available. Connected : This type of icon indicates that this comp uter is connected to this service. The icon has a green tint and / or a small butting arrows box added to it. For example, this icon indica tes that this computer is connected to the PIM item transfer service of the remote device. Not Available : This icon indicates that t he service that it represents is not available. Services that ar e not available are r epresented by a normal icon with a small X box added to it . For example, this icon indicates that the Bluetooth faxing se rvice is not currently available. Chapter 2 16 HP bt500 Bluetooth USB 2.0 Wireless Printer Adapter
NOTE: A service may be unavailable because it ( or the required hardware) is in use, or because th e requir ed hardware is not installed. Exam ple: i f the f ax mode m is bus y, or not installed, then the fax service will be unavailable, even though Bluetooth supports that service. NOTE: There are som e differences bet ween the service i cons used by Window s 9x, ME, and 20 00, and tho se used by Wi ndows XP and Vi sta. (continued) General Windows Bluetooth information 17

Bluetooth device ide ntity Every Bluetooth de vice has a unique Bluet ooth Device Address (BDA) assig ned to it during the man ufacturing process. T his address cannot be changed. The BDA i s usually displayed in hexadecim al format; 00: D0:B7:03:2E: 9F is a valid BDA. Each Bluetooth device also has a configurable, user-friendly nam e to help distinguish i t from other d evices. The user-fri endly name ma y be up to 99 al phanumeric charact ers in length and may con tain spaces. My Perso nal Computer is a valid user-friendly n ame. Encryption Encrypting data tr anslates it into an unreadabl e format using a secret key or pa ssword. Decrypting th e data requ ires the same key o r password th at was used to e ncrypt it. Link k ey A link key is a unique, internally gene rated access code based on a passkey, the Bluetooth D evice Address, and an int ernally generate d random number. Li nk keys are generated automaticall y when devi ces are pa ired. After a link key is genera ted, manual entry of the passkey is not req uired. Pairin g dev ices Pairing allows you to avoid manually ent ering access informati on each time a co nnection is attempte d. Paired devices sha re a unique li nk key, which t hey automatical ly exchange each tim e they conne ct. Paired devices att empt to determ ine the feasi bility of an operation be fore actuall y executing that operat ion. In the foll owing example of a feasibilit y check, Authoriz ation, which requ ires the receivi ng device to approve th e connection (eve n though t he devices are p aired), is ena bled. 1. A file is selected and sent to a pa ired remote service. 2. Before actually sending the f ile, the sending d evice transparently q ueries the server. 3. The server transparently replies th at it has a file of t hat name in th e folder to which the sender is at tempting to w rite. 4. The sending device disp lays a Conf irm File Replace w indow, which the user must acknowled ge before the co nnection can pro ceed. 5. The server displays an Aut horization b alloon over the notification area, which is located at the far right of the taskbar. The server user mu st acknowledge t he Authoriz ation balloon or the conne ction will fail and the fil e will not be t ransferred. Chapter 2 48 HP bt500 Bluetooth USB 2.0 Wireless Printer Adapter
