It is no longer possible to imagine modern mobile technology without bluetooth technology. A simple, convenient and fast connection of a wide variety of devices at a distance of up to several meters allows you to transfer video or music from one phone to another, connect a headset or a GPS module.
Naturally, the owner of a bluetooth-enabled mobile device has a desire to do without inconvenient wires when connecting it to a computer. Fortunately, setting up bluetooth on your computer is easy. Of course, a computer is rarely equipped with a built-in bluetooth module, but a USB module is easy to purchase and connect, and its price is very low. Outwardly, such a module resembles an ordinary USB flash drive.
- We install the USB-module into the corresponding socket on the computer case. As a rule, correct installation is confirmed by a color signal on the keychain body, usually blue.
- Windows will detect the device and try to install drivers for it. It is better to take the drivers from the disk that comes with the module. As a rule, it has an installation program in the form of a wizard that is familiar to the user, which will guide you through all the necessary steps, copy files and make changes to the registry.
- Installation of drivers does not end, but only begins. Now you need to actually configure bluetooth. To do this, you can either use the program supplied with the module, or try to do it yourself in the Windows Control Panel. In any case, the process is quite simple: you need to specify the name of the computer and its type (by default - "personal computer"). This data will be used to map the computer to other bluetooth devices, such as a mobile phone, when searching for available devices.
- Adjust your computer's visibility to other devices. You can make it visible or hide its presence in the bluetooth space. In addition, you can select the services that will be available via bluetooth. Adapters support all services, so everything can be left enabled.
The setup is complete. Now the computer will be detected when searching for bluetooth devices from the phone, and you can transfer photos to it, download music found on the network to the phone, or use the phone as a GPRS modem.
