Varieties of BluetoothTM wireless technology devices you can use It is important to understand the concepts of "services" and "profiles" in order to determine whether an intended function can be properly utilized when you use a BluetoothTM wireless technology device. What is a "profile"? Examples of BluetoothTM wireless technology devices include mice and keyboards (input devices), printers (output devices), and wireless modems (communication devices). Functions that can be utilized by such devices are called "services." In order for these services to be used reliably, BluetoothTM wireless technology devices are provided with common specifications known as "profiles." For example, when a PC makes a connection to a device, it obtains the profile of the corresponding device and thereby ascertains which functions (services) the device offers. As an example, imagine someone who travels overseas. The traveller is only able to converse properly with their counterpart if both speak a language (English, Japanese, Chinese, etc.) they both understand. However, no dialogue will occur if they do not share a common language. In the above example, the traveller and his/her counterpart correspond to the devices, the languages to the profiles, and the dialogues between the two people to the services. The former example refers to a situation where a service can be performed because the devices support a common profile, whereas the latter example refers to a situation where a service cannot be performed because a common profile is not supported. In other words, you will be able to use BluetoothTM wireless technology devices that have a profile supported by a PC (the BluetoothTM Utility in this case). If the profiles belonging to the device are not supported by the PC, the functions corresponding to those profiles will not be able to be utilized. Also, a device can only be used if its profiles are supported by the PC. Types of profiles The following profiles are supported by the BluetoothTM Utility: Term Definition DUN Dial-Up Networking Enables you to establish a dial-up BluetoothTM wireless technology connection to the Internet or other networks with a wireless modem station, mobile telephone, or similar device.

Varieties of Bluetooth

wireless technology devices you can use

It is important to understand the concepts of "services" and "profiles" in order to determine whether an intended function can be properly utilized

when you use a Bluetooth

wireless technology device.

What is a "profile"?

Examples of Bluetooth

wireless technology devices include mice and keyboards (input devices), printers (output devices), and wireless modems

(communication devices). Functions that can be utilized by such devices are called "services."

In order for these services to be used reliably, Bluetooth

wireless technology devices are provided with common specifications known as

"profiles."

For example, when a PC makes a connection to a device, it obtains the profile of the corresponding device and thereby ascertains which functions

(services) the device offers.

As an example, imagine someone who travels overseas.

The traveller is only able to converse properly with their counterpart if both speak a language (English, Japanese, Chinese, etc.) they both

understand.

However, no dialogue will occur if they do not share a common language.

In the above example, the traveller and his/her counterpart correspond to the devices, the languages to the profiles, and the dialogues between the

two people to the services. The former example refers to a situation where a service can be performed because the devices support a common

profile, whereas the latter example refers to a situation where a service cannot be performed because a common profile is not supported.

In other words, you will be able to use Bluetooth

wireless technology devices that have a profile supported by a PC (the Bluetooth

Utility in

this case).

If the profiles belonging to the device are not supported by the PC, the functions corresponding to those profiles will not be able to be utilized.

Also, a device can only be used if its profiles are supported by the PC.

Types of profiles

The following profiles are supported by the Bluetooth

Utility:
