Wait for the WORKABOUT PRO to complete its scan (approximately 20 seconds).
When scanning starts, the
<Scan>
button will change to
<Stop>
– if necessary, you
can tap on this button to stop the process. Once scanning is complete, all discovered
devices will be displayed in the list box, with Name, Address, Active status, and
PIN information.
Note:
During the scanning process, addresses are located first, followed by
names. Therefore, only the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth
radio coverage range will be retrieved.
The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When
a service is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected
during the scan.
The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.
At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once
you highlight a device in the list box, both the
<Services>
and
<Set PIN>
buttons
become available.
Services

communicate, and you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles
that can be activated include: DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial
service), and LANPPP (LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is
another available profile.

appear to be frozen.
Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box:
•
Highlight the desired service, and then click on <

or <
Deactivate>
, as
required.
Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will
appear in the Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or
COM as the port name. BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but
