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. If the passkeys are different, then
authentication fails and a connection cannot be established.
Bluetooth Authorization Bluetooth authorization is the procedure to verify
whether you are going to allow (authorize) other Bluetooth enabled devices to use
Bluetooth services on your Bluetooth enabled device. Every Bluetooth service in
your BlueSoleil™ has an authorization setting. The authorization devices list for
each service records the devices that have been authorized for that service. The
user can change the authorization status for each device.
Bluetooth Connection A Bluetooth connection refers to the Bluetooth link that
can be set up between two Bluetooth devices. Connected Bluetooth devices have a
server/ client relationship. One Bluetooth device provides services and another
Bluetooth device uses these Bluetooth services.
Bluetooth Connection Shortcut Connection shortcut is used to save time
used in searching for devices and browsing services. Once a connection has been
established, it can be saved as a shortcut. The shortcut is then used to re-establish
the connection, without having to search for the remote Bluetooth device and
required Bluetooth service.
Bluetooth Device Bluetooth Devices can refer to either of the following:
(1) When referring to the local device configuration, a Bluetooth Device is the local
Bluetooth hardware, e.g. Device, UART device, PCMCIA card or BCSP device.
(2) When referring to the Bluetooth application, the Bluetooth device is the
Bluetooth system as a whole, e.g. a Bluetooth modem, Bluetooth mobiles or a
Bluetooth PDA. A computer together with the BlueSoleil™ and the Bluetooth dongle
would also be addressed as a remote Bluetooth device by other Bluetooth devices.
Bluetooth Device Address A unique 48-bit address that distinguishes different
Bluetooth transceivers. Every Bluetooth device has a unique address so that other
devices can find it and communicate with it. The address appears in the form of
00:03:20:00:0D:0A.
Bluetooth Device Class According to the Bluetooth standard, every Bluetooth
device is assigned a device type, which is represented in the Bluetooth device class.
The Bluetooth device class is three bytes in length in the form of 04:01:00. On the
computer side, the class may be Server, Desktop or Laptop. Users will be asked to
select it during first time set-up.
Bluetooth Device Inquiry To use Bluetooth, the user has to first find the
remote device. The searching procedure is called device inquiry. There are two
kinds of inquiry procedure; General Inquiry and Limited Inquiry. General Inquiry
will find all the Bluetooth devices in 'general discoverable mode' and 'limited
discoverable mode'. Limited Inquiry will find only the devices in 'limited
discoverable mode'.

Dial-up Networking profile (DUN). Using DUN, Bluetooth devices can dial-up to the
Internet via a Bluetooth modem or a Bluetooth mobile phone.
