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.
