Connect Using
Clicking the arrow on the far right of this field shows a drop down list of the available service options. It should be
noted that this feature does not actually query the remote device for its supported services, so you must be sure
that your remote device actually supports your selection.
This feature can be used to connect to remote devices that support DUN, LAN or FAX services i.e. some Bluetooth
phones will only let devices that are Dial Up Networking clients to connect to them. Although Brainboxes Bluetooth
Adapters do not actually include all the software necessary for it to support DUN, LAN and FAX fully, these are all
based on SPP, which the Brainboxes devices do support. The additional software can come from the Operating
System such as XP.
For example, a Bluetooth phone can be used by an RS-232 Bluetooth Adapter to dial out to the internet on a PC if
the Connect Using feature is set to DUN, partner address is the phone’s Bluetooth address and the Adapter is in
Client mode. When the phone confirms that a Bluetooth connection is present, a modem can be installed on the
PC, which would use the COM port that the Adapter is connected to. Some Bluetooth phone’s such as Nokia and
Sony Ericsson have a special Bluetooth modem driver that you can download from their website. Once installed
you can then use the Create a New Connection wizard from Control Panel/Network Connections to dial out using
the new modem. You will require an ISP with username and password for this.
