2. Install Bluetooth Remote Midlet on your phone or device
You have two options for installing the Bluetooth Remote Midelt onto your device:
- Over the air from the Vectir WAP site. Enter the following URL into the web browser on your device: www.vectir.com/wap/index.wml. Attempt to download and install from the BTRemote.JAD file. If there was a problem, attempt to install the BTRemote.Jar file directly.
- Download the Bluetooth Remote Midlet from the hardware plugins download section and install onto your device from your PC. The installation method will vary between devices. Refer to documentation supplied with your device on how to install Java applications.
3. Run the BTRemote Midlet and select the Bluetooth Sever
If you did not start the Bluetooth Remote from the end of the installation, select the directory that it was installed to and run the Midlet now.
After the splash screen has been displayed, the Midlet should start searching for Bluetooth devices in range. You may see the Bluetooth address of each device show up before the actual device name. It is recommended that you wait until the name of each device is displayed. The midlet will remember each device name for subsequent connections.
Select the device that is running the Bluetooth Remote server. The Midlet should now search for all Bluetooth serial port services provided by the server PC.
4. Select the Bluetooth COM port
Note: This step only needs to be performed once. After the Midlet has successfully connected to the server, it will remember the COM port for subsequent connections.
You should now see a list of all Bluetooth serial port services (COM Ports) provided by the server PC. Select the COM port that you setup in the Bluetooth Server section.
The Midlet should now attempt to connect to the Bluetooth server over this COM port. You may get a message from the Bluetooth software on your PC asking if you wish to allow connections from your device. It is safe to allow always allow connections from your device. If the connection was successful, you should see a list of all remote profiles that are provided by the server.
5. Verify connection on Bluetooth Server Dialog
Verify that the Bluetooth server has correctly identified and accepted a connection from your device. This information is available on the "General" tab of the "Bluetooth Remote Server" dialog.
The Bluetooth icon should have illuminated green and you should see details of your device in the "Client Device Details" section.
You are now ready to map commands from your phone to commands in Vectir.
