Ch a pt e r 1 I n t r odu ct ion INTRODUCTION TO BLUETOOTH The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices. In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request a connection with another. The second device accepts (or rejects) the connection. The originator of the request is known as the client. The device that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server.
The PC configured as the Bluetooth server can support up to 7 Bluetooth client devices with IP addresses automatically assigned when they connect. The bundled Bluetooth Software also provides Internet sharing and security access between the server and clients. After finishing these steps outlined in this manual, you will have the ability to share information, Network Access and take the full advantage of a “connected” environment.
