Perform Bluetooth PBAP server functions

​

Pull a contact from the server

Before you begin, do the following:

• Pair the DUT and the remote device. For instructions, see Pair with a remote Bluetooth device.
• Create a PBAP directory on the server.
  In the BlueZ stack, PBAP server functionality can’t be tested or verified directly as you can’t create contacts on the server. Hence, you must create a PBAP directory on the DUT. For more information about creating a PBAP directory, see Sample PBAP directory.

To pull a contact from the server, do the following:

1. Initiate a connection from the remote device to the DUT.
2. Accept the connection request on the DUT as follows: a. Run SSH on the DUT. b. Open the bluetoothctl application by running the following command:
   bluetoothctl
   
   c. Authenticate the connection request.
3. Pull the intended contact from the server to the client.
4. Open and verify the retrieved contact on the client.

Sample PBAP directory

You can create a sample PBAP directory to verify PBAP server functionality as follows:

1. Run SSH on the DUT.
2. Create a telecom folder for each phone book repository at the root by running the following command:
   mkdir telecom
   
3. Change the current directory to telecom by running the following command:
   cd telecom
   
4. In the telecom directory, create subfolders for different phone book objects. To create a subfolder at telecom, run the following command:
   mkdir <subfolder>
   
   Parameters <subfolder> is the name of the subfolder. For example, pb. Use the following folder names for phone book objects:

5. In each subfolder, create sample VCF files.

The following figure shows a sample PBAP directory. It contains telecom directories for two phone book repositories. In the telecom directory, there are subfolders for different phone book objects. These subfolders contain VCF files.
