DUN

The DUN service, i.e. dial-up networking, is used for accessing the Internet through a DUN gateway. You can use this service to establish a connection to any Bluetooth device which supports the DUN Gateway (Server) role.

The DUN service provides a Bluetooth COM port prepared for Bluetooth dial-up networking. You can use the DUN COM port with Microsoft DUN in order to establish a DUN connection. Please refer to the Windows online help for instructions in how to use Microsoft DUN.

Note that the Bluetooth Software Suite only supports the DUN Data Terminal (client) role. This means that it is not possible to establish a Bluetooth DUN connection between two computers running the Bluetooth Software Suite (as neither of them supports server functionality).

Links can be established by dragging and dropping in the Bluetooth Neighborhood:

Drag the DUN icon from the Local Services bar to one of the following in the list view:

The remote device (or device folder), or

The remote DUN service.

In the following example, a link is being established by dragging the local DUN service to a remote DUN service:

Bluetooth Neighborhood help0076 DUN

For information on how to set up the program to dial up automatically when a DUN link is established, see “DUN Access settings”.

Note: The Dial-up Networking Profile requires a Bluetooth COM port. By default, the profile is associated with Bluetooth COM port 7. For more information, see “Bluetooth COM ports”.
