sdptool
Use sdptool to check which services are made available by a specific device. The
command sdptool browse device_address returns all services of a device.
Use sdptool search service_code to search for a specific service. This
command scans all accessible devices for the requested service. If one of the devices
offers the service, the program prints the full service name returned by the device to-
gether with a brief description. View a list of all possible service codes by entering
sdptool without any parameters.
29.2.4 Graphical Applications
In Konqueror, enter the URL bluetooth:/ to list local and remote Bluetooth devices.
Double-click a device for an overview of the services provided by the device. If you
move across one of the specified services with the mouse, the browser's status bar shows
which profile is used for the service. If you click a service, a dialog opens, asking
whether to save, use the service (an application must be started to do this), or cancel
the action. Mark a check box if you do not want the dialog to be displayed again but
always want the selected action to be performed. For some services, support is not yet
available. For others, additional packages may need to be installed.
29.2.5 Examples
This section features two typical examples of possible Bluetooth scenarios. The first
shows how a network connection between two hosts can be established via Bluetooth.
The second features a connection between a computer and a mobile phone.
Network Connection between Two Hosts
In the first example, a network connection is established between the hosts H1 and H2.
These two hosts have the Bluetooth device addresses baddr1 and baddr2 (determined
on both hosts with the command hcitool dev as described above). The hosts should
be identified with the IP addresses 192.168.1.3 (H1) and 192.168.1.4 (H2).
The Bluetooth connection is established with the help of pand (personal area networking
daemon). The following commands must be executed by the user root. The description
