SMC Networks - IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual 13 Bluetooth Glossary Bluetooth Authentication Bluetooth authentication is the procedure to verify whether another Bluetooth enabled device has the right to access your computer. During this procedure, a Bluetooth passkey is requested on both sides of the connection. If the passkeys are the same, the authentication procedure is a success and the connection can be setup.
SMC Networks - IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual Bluetooth File Transfer This is the implementation of the Bluetooth File Transfer profile (FTP). Bluetooth File Transfer enables the transfer files between Bluetooth devices. Bluetooth HCRP This is the implementation of the Bluetooth Hardcopy Cable Replacement profile (HCRP). HCRP provides services to replace the cables between hosts and peripheral devices with a Bluetooth link. HCRP is mainly used for wireless printing.
SMC Networks - IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual Bonding Bonding is the creation of a relationship between two devices, which are known to each other prior to the bonding procedure. A user initiates the bonding procedure and enters a passkey to create a bond between two devices. This differs from the authentication procedure where the user is requested to enter a passkey during the establishment of the link. Connectable Bluetooth devices can be connectable or non-connectable.
SMC Networks - IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual 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.
