Introduction
INTRODUCTION TO BLUETOOTH
The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between
two devices. 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. 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.
