The iPazz is made Discoverable by pressing the reset button that is at the bottom of the device. So I grabbed the iPazzPort and turned it on. Yes, I tend to call my systems “Asimov”.Īt this point you need to get another Bluetooth enabled device and make THAT discoverable to the computer. By default, it suggests a name based on what you have already named your system. The software suggests naming your computer as part of the pairing process. I then click on that Bluetooth icon to bring up the Preferences to click “Make computer visible”. Once I plugged in the IOGear the Bluetooth icon appears on the panel The software is ready and just waiting for new hardware: Before I plugged in the IOGear I accessed the Menu/System/Preferences/Bluetooth program. Ubuntu kernel sets up so that the Bluetooth Manager is one of the StartUp Applications. So first I installed the IOGear on my Ubuntu 10.04 lucid using the default Bluetooth programs. Partly because it’s So tiny and cute, but also because it has some very nice specs There’s a variety of Bluetooth receivers out there and I decided on IOGear for mine.

If you are like me and you need to get a Bluetooth receiver I will go through the process of installing the software in both Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. If you happen to have a computer with Bluetooth already as part of the Hardware you are good to go.

I tried this out on my Ubuntu as well as my Windows7 systems. The iPazzPort is a nice small keyboard/mousepad (85mm x 135mm x 10mm) which can be used in a variety of situations with any devices that use Bluetooth technology for connection.
