The process of determining the services that a device provides is called Service
Discovery.
To initiate a Service Discovery, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click
the device and select Discover Available Services from the pop-up menu.
The services supported by BTW are:
•
Bluetooth Serial Port
—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between
two devices. The connection may be used by applications as though a physical
serial cable connected the devices.
•
Dial-up Networking
—allows a Bluetooth client to use a modem that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
•
Fax
—allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send a fax using a device that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
•
File Transfer
—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection that allows your
computer to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth-enabled
device—browse, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc.
•
Information Exchange
—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between
two devices so that they can exchange personal information manager data such as
business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.
•
Information Synchronization
—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection
between two devices and uses the connection to synchronize Personal
Information Manager data between the two devices.
•
Network Access
—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between the client
and a server that is physically connected to the Local Area Network. If the client
has permission (user name and password for the LAN), the wireless connection
can be used as if the client were hardwired to the LAN.
All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services. For example,
network gateways only provide access to the Local Area Network (the Network Access
service).
