# Verify OPP functions

OPP defines how two Bluetooth devices can exchange objects, such as business cards,
images, wallpapers, ringtones, or videos.

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

## Prerequisites

- Enable SSH to access your host device. For instructions, see [Sign in using SSH](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70030-254/how_to.html#use-ssh).
- Pair the DUT and the remote device. For instructions, see [Pair with a remote Bluetooth device](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70030-13/topic/bluez-perform-bluetooth-gap-functions.html#section-h4c-1bs-lcc-08-21-24-1205-46-507).
- Place the DUT and the remote device in the Bluetooth vicinity.

## Set up the device for Bluetooth OPP functions

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

ssh root@<device_IP_address>
        Copy to clipboard

    **Example**

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

ssh root@10.92.160.222
        Copy to clipboard
2. Connect to the SSH by entering the following password:

oelinux123
        Copy to clipboard
3. Open the Bluetooth test application by running the following command:

obexctl
        Copy to clipboard

    To view OBEX functions, run the following command:

help
        Copy to clipboard

    This command provides the main menu of **obexctl**. To perform OPP server and client functions, see [Perform Bluetooth OPP server functions](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70030-13/topic/bluez-perform-bluetooth-opp-server-functions.html#bluez-perform-bluetooth-opp-server-functions) and [Perform Bluetooth OPP client functions](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70030-13/topic/bluez-perform-bluetooth-opp-client-functions.html#bluez-perform-bluetooth-opp-client-functions).

    **Sample output**

sh-5.1# obexctl
        [NEW] Client /org/bluez/obex
        [obex]# help
        Menu main:
        Available commands:

        mv <source file> <destination file>               Move source file to destination file
        rm <file>                                         Delete file

        help                                              Display help about this program
        export                                            Print environment variables
