13 Bluetooth Glossary Bluetooth Authentication Bluetooth authentication is the procedure to verify
whether another Bluetooth enabled device has the right to access your computer. During
this procedure, a Bluetooth passkey is requested on both sides of the connection. If the
passkeys are the same, the authentication procedure is a success and the connection can
be setup. If the passkeys are different, then authentication fails and a connection cannot
be established.
Bluetooth Authorization Bluetooth authorization is the procedure to verify whether
you are going to allow (authorize) other Bluetooth enabled devices to use Bluetooth
services on your Bluetooth enabled device. Every Bluetooth service in your BlueSoleil™
has an authorization setting. The authorization devices list for each service records the
devices that have been authorized for that service. The user can change the
authorization status for each device.
Bluetooth Connection A Bluetooth connection refers to the Bluetooth link that can be
set up between two Bluetooth devices. Connected Bluetooth devices have a server/ client
relationship. One Bluetooth device provides services and another Bluetooth device uses
these Bluetooth services.
Bluetooth Connection Shortcut Connection shortcut is used to save time used in
searching for devices and browsing services. Once a connection has been established, it
can be saved as a shortcut. The shortcut is then used to re-establish the connection,
without having to search for the remote Bluetooth device and required Bluetooth service.
Bluetooth Device Bluetooth Devices can refer to either of the following:
(1) When referring to the local device configuration, a Bluetooth Device is the local
Bluetooth hardware, e.g. USB dongle, UART device, PCMCIA card or BCSP device.
(2) When referring to the Bluetooth application, the Bluetooth device is the Bluetooth
system as a whole, e.g. a Bluetooth modem, Bluetooth mobiles or a Bluetooth PDA. A
computer together with the BlueSoleil™ and the Bluetooth dongle would also be
addressed as a remote Bluetooth device by other Bluetooth devices.
Bluetooth Device Address A unique 48-bit address that distinguishes different
Bluetooth transceivers. Every Bluetooth device has a unique address so that other
devices can find it and communicate with it. The address appears in the form of
00:03:20:00:0D:0A.
Bluetooth Device Class According to the Bluetooth standard, every Bluetooth device
is assigned a device type, which is represented in the Bluetooth device class. The
Bluetooth device class is three bytes in length in the form of 04:01:00. On the computer
side, the class may be Server, Desktop or Laptop. Users will be asked to select it during
first time set-up.
Bluetooth Device Inquiry To use Bluetooth, the user has to first find the remote
device. The searching procedure is called device inquiry. There are two kinds of inquiry
procedure; General Inquiry and Limited Inquiry. General Inquiry will find all the
Bluetooth devices in ‘general discoverable mode’ and ‘limited discoverable mode’. Limited
Inquiry will find only the devices in ‘limited discoverable mode’.
Bluetooth Dial-up Networking This is the implementation of the Bluetooth Dial-up
Networking profile (DUN). Using DUN, Bluetooth devices can dial-up to the Internet via a
Bluetooth modem or a Bluetooth mobile phone.
Bluetooth FAX This is the implementation of the Bluetooth FAX profile (FAX). Using
FAX, Bluetooth devices can send a FAX via a Bluetooth mobile.
