# Verify PBAP functions

> PBAP is a Bluetooth profile for the exchange of phone book objects between a remote and a local device.

<a id="bluez-pbap" />

To perform Bluetooth PBAP functions, you must first complete the steps in the following procedure.

## Prerequisites

* Enable SSH to access your host device. For instructions, see <a href="https://dragonwingdocs.qualcomm.com/Key-Documents/Flash-Guide/how-to-sign-in-with-ssh" target="_self">Sign in using SSH</a>.

* Pair the DUT and the remote device. For instructions, see <a href="perform-bluetooth-gap-functions#pair-with-a-remote-bluetooth-device" target="_self">Pair with a remote Bluetooth device</a>.

* Place the DUT and the remote device in the Bluetooth vicinity.

## Set up the device for Bluetooth PBAP functions

1. Run the SSH in command prompt using the following command:

   ```text theme={null}
   ssh root@<device_IP_address>
   ```

   **Example**

   If the IP address of the device is `10.92.160.222`, run the following command:

   ```text theme={null}
   ssh root@10.92.160.222
   ```

2. Connect to the SSH by entering the following password:

   ```text theme={null}
   oelinux123
   ```

3. Open the Bluetooth test application by running the following command:

   ```text theme={null}
   obexctl
   ```

   To view OBEX functions, run the following command:

   ```text theme={null}
   help
   ```

   This command provides the main menu of **obexctl**. To perform PBAP server and client functions, see <a href="perform-bluetooth-pbap-server-functions" target="_self">Perform Bluetooth PBAP server functions</a> and <a href="perform-bluetooth-pbap-client-functions" target="_self">Perform Bluetooth PBAP client functions</a>.

   **Sample output**

   ```text theme={null}
   sh-5.1# obexctl

## Next steps

### <a href="perform-bluetooth-pbap-server-functions" target="_self">Perform Bluetooth PBAP server functions</a>

You can verify Bluetooth PBAP server functionality using the commands provided in the main menu of **obexctl**. Bluetooth PBAP server functions allow you to get a contact from the server.

### <a href="perform-bluetooth-pbap-client-functions" target="_self">Perform Bluetooth PBAP client functions</a>

You can verify Bluetooth PBAP client functionality using the commands provided in the main menu of **obexctl**. Bluetooth PBAP client functions include connecting to a remote device and selecting a phone book object. You can pull an entire phone book, retrieve the phone book size, and search for a specific contact using PBAP client functions.
