MAP defines the features and procedures to be used by devices that exchange message
        objects.

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

## Set up device for Bluetooth MAP functions

**Prerequisites**

- Enable SSH to access your host device. For instructions, see [Log in using SSH](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70017-254/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/80-70017-13/topic/bluez-perform-bluetooth-gap-functions.html#bluez-perform-bluetooth-gap-functions__section_h4c_1bs_lcc_navyanka_08-21-24-1205-46-507).
- Place the DUT and the remote device in the Bluetooth vicinity.

**Procedure**

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

        oelinux123Copy to clipboard
3. Open the Bluetooth test application by running the following command: 

        obexctlCopy to clipboard

                     To view OBEX functions, run the following command:

        helpCopy to clipboard

    This
                            command provides the main menu of obexctl. To
                            perform MAP server and client functions, see [Perform Bluetooth MAP server functions](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70017-13/topic/bluez-perform-bluetooth-map-server-functions.html) and [Perform Bluetooth MAP client functions](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70017-13/topic/bluez-perform-bluetooth-map-client-functions.html).

    **Sample output**
