Chapter 3 Bluetooth Software 3 About Bluetooth Software 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. 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.
PC Configuration Ÿ Fax—allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send a fax using a device that is physically attached to the Bluetooth server. Ÿ File Transfer—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection that allows your computer to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth-enabled device—browse, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc.
Broadband Router User Guide Service icons are gray or yellow in color (or gray with yellow accents) in their "normal" state.
