Bluetooth Wireless Devices
(Select Models Only)
A Bluetooth wireless device provides short-range wireless
communications that replace the physical cable connections
that traditionally link electronic devices such as
■
Network access points.
■
Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA).
■
Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone).
■
Imaging devices (printer, camera).
■
Audio devices (headset, speakers).
The devices are represented in the Bluetooth for Windows
software by graphical icons that resemble the physical features
of the devices.
The Bluetooth for Windows software provides the following
functions:
■
Personal Information Management (PIM) item
transfer—Enables the exchange of information files such
as business cards, calendar items, notes, and message items
between Bluetooth computers or devices.
■
PIM synchronization—Synchronizes PIM data between a
Bluetooth wireless device and a notebook, PDA, or cell
phone using Bluetooth.
■
File Transfer—Enables the exchange of files between
Bluetooth computers or devices.
■
Network access (Personal Area Networking
Profile)—Enables 2 or more Bluetooth devices to form an
ad hoc (peer-to-peer) network. Provides a mechanism that
enables a Bluetooth device to access a remote network
through a network access point. The network access points
can be traditional LAN data access points or group ad hoc
networks that represent a set of devices that are attached only
to one another.
