1.2 INTRODUCTION TO BTW
BTW is the solution for the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personal
computers.
For an overview of the features added in this release, see What's New.
Most Bluetooth-enabled devices have the capability to act as:
• A Bluetooth server—these devices provide one or more services, such as access
to the Internet, to other Bluetooth devices.
• A Bluetooth client—these devices use the service(s) provided by Bluetooth
servers.
Bluetooth devices that can act as both server and client can often do both at the same
time.
BTW provides:
• Clients with the means:
! To locate other Bluetooth devices in the immediate vicinity (inquiry)
! Discover the services that those devices offer (discovery)
! Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services.
• Servers with the means to include/exclude individual services in the list of
services they provide to clients.
• Extensive security, including:
! Authorization
! Authentication
! Encryption.
BTW supports
• Windows 2000.
• Windows 98SE (Second Edition).
• Windows Me (Millennium Edition)
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition.
BTW functions the same way, regardless of the supported version of Windows on which
it is running.
