LAN Access

8.1

Introduction

The Bluetooth LAN Access Profile (LAP) allows Bluetooth-enabled devices to access
the services of a LAN using Point-to-Point Protocol. In this usage model, multiple
data terminals use a LAN access point as a wireless connection to a Local Area
Network (LAN). Once connected, data terminals operate as if they are connected to
the LAN via dial-up networking and can access all the services provided by the LAN.
The LAN application can be used in the following scenarios:
♦ A computer (or PDA) accesses a Local Area Network via a LAP Server.
♦ A computer (or PDA) accesses a Local Area Network via a LAN access point.
Note: Before using the LAN Access Profile in Windows98/Me, ensure that a
Dial-up Adapter and Windows's component direct cable are already installed on the
computer. (See "Section 8.4: Settings for LAN Access Profile (client side) in
Windows98/Me"). Moreover, every operating system should have an installation of
NetBEUI protocol; otherwise, it cannot use computer name to visit other computer.
