Link establishment

When you have carried out service discovery, you can establish a link to the remote device. You can make use of any service that both your device and the remote device support. Drag the local service to the corresponding remote service:

In the above example, a DUN (dial-up networking) link is being established by dragging the local DUN service to the remote DUN service. (The remote device could be a Bluetooth-enabled modem, which would allow you to access the Internet.)

Alternatively, if you know in advance that a remote device supports a particular service, you can skip service discovery. Just drag the local service to the remote device:

In this example, a DUN link is being established by dragging the local DUN service to the remote device.

For information on how to make use of each of the local services when a link has been established, refer to the section about the local service in question.

If link establishment is not carried out successfully: The remote user may have set up his device to reject link establishment attempts (cf. “Trust”), the distance between the two devices may be too far, etc. A message box will let you know what went wrong.
