6 Getting Connected
88 GeoExplorer 6000 Series User Guide
A client can connect to a number of different services provided by different hosts. The
number of active connections at any one time affects the speed of the connections.
Figure 6.1 shows the handheld connected to different types of host devices using
Bluetooth wireless technology.
Figure 6.1 GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld Bluetooth client connections
In Figure 6.1, the dashed arrows indicate the client device—that is, the GeoExplorer
6000 series handheld—connecting to host devices. The Bluetooth profile (or service)
used for the connection is shown between the arrows, for example, the DUN service is
used for a connection to a cell phone, and the Serial Port service is used for a serial
connection to a GeoBeacon receiver or laser rangefinder.
The solid arrows indicate the flow of information between devices. For example, when
the GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld connects as a client to:
• a cellphone, the handheld uses the DUN or PAN host service provided by the
phone to access the Internet and receive real-time differential corrections or
background map data.
ActiveSync Enables an ActiveSync connection to a computer.
This service is also used for office computers which have the WMDC
installed.
Input Device (HID) Connects the handheld to a physical input device, such as a keyboard.
Wireless Stereo Connects to Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
headphones.
