Wireless PAN (WPAN) Communications with Bluetooth

Overview

Dolphin terminals are available with a Bluetooth radio for WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) usage. When the Dolphin is
first initialized, the *.cab file and module for Bluetooth are installed.

Enabling the Bluetooth Radio

Before using the radio, make sure that the Bluetooth radio is enabled. When the radio is enabled, the Bluetooth icon appears in
the task tray on the Today screen.

Note: Radios are enabled in the Radio Manager; tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Radio Manager.

Setting Up Your Bluetooth Card

Note: If you use the Get Connected! Wizard, which is recommended for normal usage, then this step is not necessary. This step

would be used to change the friendly name of your device.

1. Tap the Bluetooth icon that appears in the task tray on the Today screen.

2. In the pop-up menu, select Advanced Features, then My Bluetooth Device. (If you installed OBEX, the menu also lists

Transfer via Bluetooth.)

3. In the My Bluetooth Device screen, you can modify the Friendly Name and make any desired configuration changes.

When done, tap OK.

In normal phone connect operation, Discoverable mode is not needed and should be disabled.

If you do enable Discoverable mode (e.g., for ActiveSync), note that it does not shut off by itself. To save power, remember
to disable it when not needed.

Connectable, Use Authentication, and Use Encryption are also not required for printing or dial-up networking applications.

Check Use Authentication to enable the Use Encryption option.

Assign COM Ports

Follow these steps to view and/or modify the Bluetooth COM ports.
