Bluetooth Services versus Bluetooth Applications
Bluetooth Services are services that this computer provides to remote Bluetooth devices. The
Bluetooth services on this computer are referred to collectively in the Bluetooth configuration
panel as Local Services.
Bluetooth Applications are software applications on this computer that allow this computer to
use the Bluetooth services that are provided by remote devices. The Bluetooth applications on
this computer are referred to collectively in the Bluetooth configuration panel as Client
Applications.
Bluetooth Services and Bluetooth Applications usually have coinciding names; e.g., there is a
File Transfer service and a File Transfer client application.
How this computer provides a service to remote devices is configured on the Local Services tab
of the Bluetooth configuration panel.
How this computer uses a service that is provided by a remote device is configured on the
Client Applications tab of the Bluetooth configuration panel.
BLUETOOTH EXCHANGE FOLDER
This is the highest-level directory on this computer to which a remote Bluetooth device has
access.
Devices that have been granted access to the Bluetooth exchange folder also have access to all
subfolders contained within that folder and all files in those subfolders.
Note: The Bluetooth exchange folder is shared by the PIM Item Transfer and the File
Transfer services and can be configured from the Properties page of either of those
services. When the Bluetooth exchange folder is reconfigured for either of these services,
the other service will be updated to use the new location. This is also shared by the
Imaging service.
