Scenario 2: Bluetooth Network Environment
A Bluetooth network in your office could look like the follow-
ing:
z You have three computers which are to be connected in
a wireless network. All of the computers have
BlueFRITZ! USB and the corresponding software
installed.
z An ISDN-Controller is installed in one of your
computers, to provide access to the Internet.
z You also have an access point like BlueFRITZ! AP-ISDN,
and both a printer and scanner that support Bluetooth,
which are to be used jointly by all computers in the
network.
z The participants in the network also have devices like
mobile phones and PDAs, which they also use privately.
A functioning TCP/IP network is required for this configura-
tion. In this network the computer which contains the ISDN-
Controller serves as the gateway. The TCP/IP protocol must
be bound to BlueFRITZ! USB on this computer and an IP ad-
dress must be assigned for the device. Once these settings
have been made, make sure that all computers can access
the gateway computer. Do this by registering the IP address
of the gateway as the default gateway on each of the work-
place computers.
Then use the PAN profile to connect all computers with the
access point. The access point takes on the role of mediator
in the network and, in ideal physical constellations, can dou-
ble the range between devices. Each computer in the net-
work can then dial in to the Internet using the BlueFRITZ!
control software.
If you use the FRITZ!web program for Internet access, shar-
ing of this application must be enabled for all network work-
places.
Printers and scanners can then be connected to any comput-
er in the network. A network drive connection can then allow
every computer in the network to use these devices. Network
