Initial Configuration

 

Prerequisite:

      - Bluetooth signal must be turned on both on your BlackBerry and on your PC

      - Remove existing pairing on both devices if already paired

 

 

1. Disable DUN (Dial-Up Networking)

Go to the "Manage Connections" page on your BlackBerry and select "Bluetooth Connections".  Press the BlackBerry MENU key and select Options to bring up the Bluetooth Options page.  Make sure "Dial-Up Networking" is NOT checked.  Save the changes.

 

2. Start DUN service on BlackBerry

Start Bluetooth Tether Bridge, press BlackBerry MENU key and select "Start-DUN" command.  Press BlackBerry ESCAPE key (NOT the Close command) to leave it to run in background.

 

3. Start bluetooth pairing on BlackBerry

Go to the Bluetooth page and click "Add New Device" to bring up the "Add Device" pop-up.  Select "Listen" (not "Search").

 

4. Start bluetooth pairing on PC

Click the bluetooth icon in the Sytem Tray and select "Add New Connection".  Select your BlackBerry from the list of bluetooth devices it has found and click "Next".

 

5. Confirm pairing code on BlackBerry and PC

 

6. Automatic connection attempt from your PC

Your PC will make an automatic connection attempt to your BlackBerry. A permission window will pop up on your BlackBerry. Check "Don't display this prompt again" to avoid this in subsequent tether sessions and click "Yes" to accept the connection attempt. Go back to the Bluetooth Tether Bridge app on your BlackBerry and you will find the connection has failed.  Just exit from the app on your BlackBerry. On your PC, you should now have the "Advanced Modem Settings" window.  Click "Next" to bring up the "Create dial-up connection" window.  Enter "*99#" without the quotes for Telephone number and click "Finish".
