LAN Access
7.1
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 Error! Reference source not found.: Error! Reference source not
found."). Moreover, every operating system should have an installation of NetBEUI
protocol; otherwise, it cannot use computer name to visit other computer.
