1.19. Server: Connecting to adapter from a remote Bluetooth device
Connecting to your adapter will vary depending on your application, but will usually consist of 3 Steps:
1 – Configuring the adapter's communications parameters.
2 – Physically connecting adapter to your device.
3 – Connecting to adapter from a remote device via Bluetooth and transferring data.
There are many different scenarios whereby a connection can be made to an adapter and consequently its attached device.
The application scenarios will also depend on what sort of device you have attached to the adapter.
