Hi folks,
The below is intended for KeySoft writers and HW tech support but
thought you should see this as well for the benefit of the user
community:
Hi, I'm using KeySoft 9.2.1053 on an Apex BT. I (and others)
noticed a number of features that indicates that there are some
Bluetooth profiles that are not utilized yet under KeySoft, or
the readme states Apex supports such profile while PC (and other
devices) say it doesn't. Thus, we'd like to seek clarification
on what's going on in regards to utilized Bluetooth profiles and
are there hidden things which allows other (not shown) profiles
to be utilized by users.
So far, we know that:
* Bluetooth Serial Port Profile is used to allow Apex to act as a
Bluetooth display, print or emboss, and connect to GPS receivers.
* Bluetooth Headset Profile is used to connect Bluetooth
headsets.
* Bluetooth DUN (Dial-Up Network) is mainly used to connect to
the Internet via cell phones with tethering plans.
According to KeySoft 9.0 readme and based on some features
present in file manager, we'd like to know the usage of the
following Bluetooth profiles in regards to known functionalities
present on the Apex:
* Hands-Free: We'd like to know the context in which this service
is utilized and which KeySoft features take advantage of this.
* File Transfer Profile (FTP): we see that, under file manager,
there is a facility to export to and import from a Bluetooth
device. Is this used between two Apex's or can this be done to
transfer files between an Apex and a PC or other Bluetooth
devices?
* Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) service: It has been
mentioned on the 9.0 readme that Apex can utilize this service
for networking with a PC. Could you elaborate on this, what
KeySoft features use this profile and how to use it?
And we'd like to know the procedure on the following:
* It was stated in KeySoft 9.0 readme that Bluetooth can be used
to connect to the Internet via PC's network connection. Could
you explain this a bit further?
* As stated above, a number of users found that there might be
some facility to transfer files between Bluetooth devices using
Apex. We'd like to know how this can be done (either between
Apexes or between an Apex and a PC or other device).
We (the Apex users) hope to get your response soon. Thanks for
your considerations.
Sincerely,
Joseph Lee
