There are three main steps:
1. Pairing the devices
2. Configuring the modem using an AT string
3. Creating a new internet connection using the modem
Let's start with the first step: pairing the devices and using the modem on the PDA.(Photo 1-3)
Now, run a connection wizard on the Desktop/Notebook (New Connection). I am going to show you the procedure in detail, so I opted for the Custom Mode.(Photo 4-6) The device is then checked for supported services. In our case, the Wizard offers only one but very important service, Dial-up Networking.(Photo 7)When you click Next, the devices will try to pair.
If everything goes well, the PC should display a window asking for a PIN. It does not matter what you type in (can be 8888) [Photo 8], you only need to remember this because you will have to enter the same code in the PDA. This protects you against intruders. On the pocket device, first confirm that you realy want to communicate with the PC (Yes) and then enter the PIN (Photo 9-10) .Check the box at Serial Port and tap on Finish.(Photo 11)
We are done with the PDA for the time being but need to do some more setting on the desktop/notebook. A Bluetooth driver from Notebook offers a quick configuration of the newly connected modem (Photo 12). Click on Advanced Modem Settings and enter the following string in the only possible field: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","APN", where the "APN" should be replaced with APN details of your provider (Photo 13).
For Example. APN for 'Peoples' is Peoples.net
Please note that different notebook may have different bluetooth module so that the above photo display may not be same.
The last step involves filling in a form where you enter a name for the connection being created in the first field and specify a dial-up string in the second field and leave the rest blank. In this case, we typed in Dial-up Connection Name : Vodafone GPRS or keep the current default connection unchanged. Telephone number is *99# which is universal setting for GPRS.(Photo 14)
That's it. Now at Notebook/Desktop select Start -> Settings -> Network connections -> Your new connection and then Dial and you should be connected to the internet .
The procedure should be similar with other BT modules.
Please note that all photo is not mine but I tested on my 818pro and Notebook and work fine.
