Limited Discoverable Bluetooth devices have three modes: General discoverable, Limited
discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. In Limited discoverable mode, a Bluetooth device will
only respond to a Limited Inquiry.
LAN A LAN is a Local Area Network.
LAN Access Point One of entities defined in the LA profiles, the LAN Access Point acts like a
router between a Bluetooth piconet and an external network.
NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) is used to re-map IP numbers from one range to another
range of network addresses.
Non-Connectable A Bluetooth devices can be connectable or non-connectable. When it is non-
connectable, other devices cannot connect to it. This is used in BlueSoleil™ only when the user
does not want another device to connect to their computer.
Non-discoverable Bluetooth devices have three modes: General discoverable, Limited
discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. In Non-discoverable mode, a Bluetooth device will not
respond to any inquiry, so another Bluetooth device will not be able to find it.
Non-pairable A Bluetooth device can be pairable or non-pairable. When it is non-pairable, it will
not accept a bonding request from other devices.
Pairable A Bluetooth device can be pairable or non-pairable. When it is pairable, it will accept a
bonding request from other devices. After the bonding process is finished successfully, two devices
are paired. They now form a trusted relationship. There is no need to exchange Bluetooth Passkeys
the next time they connect.
Piconet A collection of devices connected via Bluetooth wireless technology in an ad hoc fashion.
A piconet starts with two connected devices, such as a portable PC and an Access Point, and may
expand to eight connected devices. All Bluetooth devices are peer units and have identical
implementations. However, when establishing a piconet, one unit will act as a master and the
other(s) as slave(s) for the duration of the piconet connection. All devices have the same physical
channel utilizing the same Frequency-hopping sequence, defined by the master device clock and the
Bluetooth Device Address.
PIM Personal Information Management.
Radio Signal Strength Bluetooth operates on the 2.4G ISM band. The radio signal is stronger
when the remote device is closer or the remote device has a higher radio output. The radio signal is
weak when the remote device is distant or the remote device has a weak radio output. The strength
of the remote device's radio signal affects the quality of the communication of the two Bluetooth
devices. When the radio signal is weak, the Bluetooth data transfer speed is slow. However, if the
two devices are too close and the radio signal is too strong, the Bluetooth data transfer speed is also
slow because the "sound" is too loud to "hear". The radio signal strength is always referred to as
RSSI in Bluetooth.
Remote Bluetooth Device My Bluetooth device sees all other Bluetooth enabled devices as
remote Bluetooth devices. For example, a Bluetooth modem, Bluetooth mobiles or a Bluetooth
PDA .
Start Bluetooth Service Start the selected Bluetooth service. Only after the service is started, can
other devices browse the service and connect to it.
Stop Bluetooth Service Stop the selected Bluetooth service. After the service is stopped, other
devices cannot browse the service or connect to it. The existing connection will be disconnected.
