bluetooth communication in matlab

hello, i am working on a college project in which i need to communicate with a bluetooth device through MATLAB. i tried to use the inbuilt adaptor of the laptop to discover the other object. but my matlab version (instrument control toolbox) doesn't seem to support bluetooth interfacing. can someone tell me what can be done for this? i have MATLAB 7.12.0(R2011a) version installed on my laptop (64 bits-windows 7).

bluetooth is supported in the Instrument Control Toolbox form R2011b. You can also try and connect it as a serial port (if the bluetooth device shows up).

so the problem is with the version used ie- R2011'a' ? 'b' supports it?
