Introduction

The term "Bluetooth" refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices within

a Personal Area Network. 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, where 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. A client Bluetooth device

runs a software program that requests a connection to another device as part of its normal operation. For example,

the program may request a connection to a remote computer, a printer, or a modem.

Becoming a Bluetooth client normally requires an action by the device operator, such as an attempt to browse a

remote computer, print a ﬁle, or dial out on a modem. Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be prepared

to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth software is always running in the background on the server, ready to

respond to connection requests.

The D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter is the perfect wireless solution for quick and easy access to Bluetooth enabled

devices. It is a class 2/3 low power device and is bundled with Bluetooth Software which allows you to connect to

several Bluetooth devices at once. The wireless transmission range of the D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB Adapter is

about 30 feet. A PC conﬁgured as the Bluetooth server can support up to 7 Bluetooth client devices with IP addresses

being automatically assigned upon a successful connection. The Bluetooth Software also provides Internet sharing

and security access between the server and clients.

After ﬁnishing the steps outlined in this manual, you will have the ability to share information, obtain network access,

and take full advantage of a wireless connected environment.
