Network
In this section, we will focus on setting up and
establishing Bluetooth networks. We will assume
that you have some previous experience in
ordinary, i.e. wired networks using Microsoft
networking. If that is not the case, please refer
to the Microsoft Windows online help for
information on Microsoft networking.
Setting up networks
During the installation of the Bluetooth Software
Suite, the installation program assigned a static IP
address to the TCP/IP protocol bound to the
Bluetooth Ethernet adapter.
The settings made during the installation will be
used when you establish a network link as
described in the section "Network link
establishment". You can, of course, change these
settings as you like.
The Bluetooth network works in the same way as
if the computers were connected through a hub
using a wired Ethernet. The settings made in
Windows are used, exactly as if using Microsoft
networking.
Network link establishment
Establishing a Bluetooth ad hoc network link is
done in the same way as you establish other
Bluetooth links: In the Bluetooth Neighborhood
main window, drag the local service Network to
the remote device, device folder, or service:
When a network link has been established
between a master and its slaves, this network is
similar to connecting the same computers through
a hub using a wired Ethernet. The settings made
in Windows are used, exactly as if using Microsoft
networking.
