How to solve Error 58 ' The network function is not supported by the system.'

[Urvashi]

Hi,
I am a new user of Lab View.  I am trying to acquire a bluetooth signal using Lab View. For this I tried the program listed in examples/comm/bluetooth.  I ran the Simple Bluetooth Server.vi from the examples, but it is showing me error message 58 , 'The network function is not supported by the system'.

I have bluetooth installed on my comp. Why does this error message comes and how can I go about running this example error free.
Could you please help me with this problem?

Thanks,
Urvashi

Urvashi,

In order to access Bluetooth devices in LabVIEW you will need to fit the following requirements. 

Microsoft Bluetooth Stack (included in SP2 of Windows XP)

• You can check to see if this driver has been installed by right clicking My Computer » Properties » Hardware Tab » Device Manager » Bluetooth Radios.  Expand Bluetooth radios and ensure that the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator appears in that list.

Supported USB dongle:

• Microsoft Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth 2.0 that came with Microsoft Wireless keyboard and Optical mouse
• Belkin F8T012UK1 EDR Bluetooth USB Adapter
• Belkin F8T003 Bluetooth USB Adapter - 10 Meters ( Belkin F8T003 ver. 2 don't seems to work )
• Billionton GUBTCR41 - 100 m (Software included in the package not installed)
• Conceptronic "Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter 200M" CBTU2A / CBT200U2A (Software in the package not installed)
• Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module
• D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth Adaptor
• Encore USB Dongle (Microsoft Stack)
• Exwell BD-U08 EDR Bluetooth USB Adapter
• Exwell BD-U01 Bluetooth USB Adapter - 10 Meters
• Kensington USB K33085 (Microsoft Stack)
• GigaByte Bluetooth USB Adapter GN-BT05D (Software included in the package not installed)
• Hama Bluetooth Dongle 00049207 (Software included in the package not installed). Inquiries seems to hang after a while ..
• IBM Integrated Bluetooth II on ThinkPad T40 (with driver from Microsoft; file version: 5.1.2600.2180, xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
• Trust BT 1300 TP Bluetooth USB adapter (Software included in the package not installed)
• Trust BT 2200 TP Bluetooth USB adapter (Software included in the package not installed) (Microsoft Stack and Widcomm)
• Perfect choice USB Adapter (Microsoft Stack and Widcomm)

Note that in order for any Bluetooth device to be supported in LabVIEW it must be supported by the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply. I checked, and my system has Dell Bluetooth Bus Enumerator. There are no Microsoft Bluetooth devices/radio or the enumerator.
Is it easily downloadable from the net, or do I need to install SP2 all over again?

Thanks,
Urvashi

Uvashi,

From my preliminary search on the topic I could not find much other than it is part of SP2.   I recommend searching yourself and see if you have any better luck.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply. I got the Bluetooth Example running.
There are other errors that come while I run the Simple Bluetooth Client program.
(1) When I type in the address of a bluetooth serial COM PORT, that I am trying to access using the program, it says error 56,  "The network operation exceeded the user-specified or system time limit."

(2) Whereas, error 59, "The network is down, unreachable, or has been reset." when I put in my own computers address in the address bar of the Simple Bluetooth Client program

Can you please tell me how to access a bluetooth module using this set of  Lab View examples.

Thanks,
Urvashi

Have you been able to add a bluetooth device in Control Panel » Bluetooth?

The Simple Client VI also requires the Simple Host VI to also be running.  Have you done this?

[Urvashi]

Hey Mark,
Yes I just tried did that. And the example is working. 
But.....

"Not enough memory to complete this operation "
Error 2
Memory is full
NI - 488 : write detected no listeners

Am I sending too much of data? 

Regards,
Urvashi

It is possible that you are sending too much data.  I recommend using task manager to monitor LabVIEW's memory usage while you are running the VI. 

Screen shots of your block diagram are also helpful.
