ABOUT BLUETOOH
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. Many Bluetooth
devices can act as both client and server.
A client Bluetooth device runs a software program that requests a connection to another
device as part of its normal operation. For example, the program may request a connection to
a remote computer, a printer, or a modem.
Becoming a Bluetooth client normally requires an action by the device operator, such as an
attempt to browse a remote computer, print a file, or dial out on a modem.
Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be prepared to respond to a connection
request. Bluetooth software is always running in the background on the server, ready to
respond to connection requests.
About BTW
BTW is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personal
computers.
Most Bluetooth-enabled devices have the capability to act as:
A Bluetooth server—these devices provide one or more services, such as access
to the Internet, to other Bluetooth devices.
A Bluetooth client—these devices use the service(s) provided by Bluetooth
servers.
Bluetooth devices that can act as both server and client can often do both at the same time.
BTW provides:
Clients with the means:
To locate other Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity (inquiry)
Discover the services that those devices offer (discovery)
Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services.
Servers with the means to include/exclude individual services in the list of
services they provide to clients.
Extensive security, including:
Authorization
Authentication
Encryption.
BTW supports:
Windows 98SE (Second Edition).
Windows ME (Millennium Edition)
Windows 2000.
- 14 -
Windows XP Professional
Windows XP Home Edition.
BTW functions the same way, regardless of the supported version of Windows on which it is running.
The services supported by BTW are:
Bluetooth Serial Port—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between two
devices. The connection may be used by applications as though a physical serial
cable connected the devices.
Dial-up Networking—allows a Bluetooth client to use a modem that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
Fax—allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send a fax using a device that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
File Transfer—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection that allows your
computer to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth-enabled
device—browse, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc.
Information Exchange—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between
two devices so that they can exchange personal information manager data such as
business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.
Information Synchronization—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection
between two devices and uses the connection to synchronize Personal Information
Manager data between the two devices.
Network Access—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between the client
and a server that is physically connected to the Local Area Network. If the client
has permission (user name and password for the LAN), the wireless connection
can be used as if the client were hardwired to the LAN.
All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services.
To determine the services provided by a Bluetooth device:
1. On the client, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth
Neighborhood.
