Networking (DUN)
Blue Manager supports Dial-up Networking by utilising virtual COM
ports in lieu of physical modems or physical COM ports. To use Dial-
up Networking you simply use Microsoft Windows’ DUN utility in
conjunction with a COM port associated with the virtual modem. This
will work for analogue, ISDN, ADSL, Cable and mobile phones
including GPRS and GSM.
Note: You must start Blue Manager first
Setting up your DUN connection
1. Right click on ‘My Network Places’
and then click on ‘properties’.
This will bring you into the ‘Network Connections’ screen. You will
now see that, as part of the installation of Blue Manager, three
additional connections have been created:
- (Dial-up: - Bluetooth Dial-up Connection);
- (Dial-up: - Bluetooth GPRS Connection);
- (Direct: - Bluetooth LAN Connection Client)
2. Right click on Bluetooth Dial-up Connection...
and click on ‘Properties’. The 'Standard 56000bps V90 Modem'
(ComX) check box should be selected. (The ‘phone number’ will
default to 0 and the ‘Use dialing rules’ option will be unchecked.) We
recommend selecting ‘Use dialing rules’ to save confusion later on;
then input the ‘Area code’, ‘Phone Number’ and ‘Country/ region
code’ of your ISP. Click ‘OK’.
3. Double click on ‘Bluetooth Dial-up Connection’
and a dialogue box will appear asking you for a ‘User name’ and
‘Password’, these are the ones supplied by your ISP.
(The user name, password and phone number can normally be
copied from any existing modem connection you have with your
current ISP.)
4. If you want to connect now then click ‘Dial’.

5. A Blue Manager selection window will either pop up or will
flash in the Task Bar.
Open the window, select your phone / modem and click ‘OK’. Wait
until dialing and authentication are complete.
6. You are now connected to the Internet.
You can browse the web
or read your email as you would normally.
7. Remember to close the connection when you are finished.
8. Automatic dialing
is supported but watch out for stage 5;
sometimes it appears hidden on the Task Bar.
9. You may want to create a short-cut
to the DUN connection
you’ve just configured for ease of use later.
Using your DUN connection
1. Click on the short-cut or Bluetooth Dial-up Connection’

Mobile Phones and GPRS

typically use: Username: ‘web’, Password: ‘web’ and Number: ‘*99#’.
