Introduction

Introduction to Bluetooth

The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless

exchange of data between two devices within a short range. 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.
