Introduction to Bluetooth
The term "Bluetooth" refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless
exchange of data between two devices within a Personal Area Network.
In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a
connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request a
connection with another, where the second device accepts (or rejects) the
connection. The originator of the request is known as the client. The device
that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server. Many Bluetooth
devices can act as both client and server. A client Bluetooth device runs a
software program that requests a connection to another device as part of
its normal operation. For example, the program may request a connection
to a remote computer, a printer, or a modem.
Becoming a Bluetooth client normally requires an action by the device
operator, such as an attempt to browse a remote computer, print a file,
or dial out on a modem. Every Bluetooth device that provides a service
must be prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth software
is always running in the background on the server, ready to respond to
connection requests.
