Bluetooth Client Connectivity

The current firmware release supports general AP functionality. From a Bluetooth client, you can perform Device Discovery and Service Discovery on the AP, and attach to the network via LAN access over PPP profile. The AP has a built-in NAT router that supplies clients with internal IP addresses and routes Bluetooth clients over the LAN interface to network resources and the Internet.

The AP will use its host name (name) when discovered by clients. The default name for a unit is Belkin_XYZ, where XYZ is the last three bytes of the Ethernet (MAC) address printed on the unit’s label. For example, if the unit’s address is 00:06:66:00:12:34, then the Bluetooth name for the unit will be Belkin_1234.

You can change the host name via the web manager to any name you prefer, just remember to use unique names for multiple units in proximity of each other on your network.

The AP is shipped without any requirements for name and password for connecting from a Bluetooth client (such as a PC). However, this can be changed such that the AP will require a username and password. The only settings required by PPP are a login
