SMC Networks - IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual

Bonding Bonding is the creation of a relationship between two devices, which are known to each other prior to the bonding procedure. A user initiates the bonding procedure and enters a passkey to create a bond between two devices. This differs from the authentication procedure where the user is requested to enter a passkey during the establishment of the link.

Connectable Bluetooth devices can be connectable or non-connectable. When the device is connectable, other devices can connect to it.

DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP.

Bluetooth Dongle A Bluetooth device which can be added onto a computer or notebook to make it Bluetooth enabled, A Bluetooth dongle is typically a USB device.

General Discoverable Bluetooth devices have three modes: General discoverable, Limited discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. A Bluetooth device will respond to a General Inquiry if it is in general discoverable or limited discoverable mode.

HID A Human Interface device such as a keyboard or mouse.

ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) For more detailed information about ICS, please refer to the Microsoft Windows help topic: Internet Connection Sharing.

Limited Discoverable Bluetooth devices have three modes: General discoverable, Limited discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. In Limited discoverable mode, a Bluetooth device will only respond to a Limited Inquiry.

LAN A LAN is a Local Area Network.

LAN Access Point One of entities defined in the LA profiles, the LAN Access Point acts like a router between a Bluetooth piconet and an external network.

NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) is used to re-map IP numbers from one range to another range of network addresses.

Non-ConnectableA Bluetooth devices can be connectable or non-connectable. When it is non-connectable, other devices cannot connect to it. This is used in BlueSoleil™ only when the user does not want another device to connect to their computer.

Non-discoverableBluetooth devices have three modes: General discoverable, Limited discoverable and Non-discoverable mode. In Non-discoverable mode, a Bluetooth device will not respond to any inquiry, so another Bluetooth device will not be able to find it.

Non-pairableA Bluetooth device can be pairable or non-pairable. When it is non- pairable, it will not accept a bonding request from other devices.

Pairable A Bluetooth device can be pairable or non-pairable. When it is pairable, it will accept a bonding request from other devices. After the bonding process is finished successfully, two devices are paired. They now form a trusted relationship. There is no need to exchange Bluetooth Passkeys the next time they connect.

Piconet A collection of devices connected via Bluetooth wireless technology in an ad hoc fashion. A piconet starts with two connected devices, such as a portable PC and an Access Point, and may expand to eight connected devices. All Bluetooth devices are peer units and have identical implementations. However, when establishing a piconet, one unit will act as a master and the other(s) as slave(s) for the duration of the piconet connection. All devices have the same physical channel utilizing the same Frequency- hopping sequence, defined by the master device clock and the Bluetooth Device Address.
