Introduction Introduction to Bluetooth The term "Bluetooth" refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices within a Personal Area Network. 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, where 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. Introduction to the DBT-122 Bluetooth USB Adapter The D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter is the perfect wireless solution for quick and easy access to Bluetooth enabled devices. It is a class 2/3 low power device and is bundled with Bluetooth Software which allows you to connect to several Bluetooth devices at once.
