The Network Access service permits a Bluetooth client to use a Local Area Network
connection that is physically attached to another Bluetooth device (the server).
Possible Network Access servers include:
•
Bluetooth-enabled computers that have an Ethernet connection.
•
Stand-alone Bluetooth Network Access Points such as those in WIDCOMM’s
BlueGate series.
The Bluetooth server must be specifically configured to provide the Network Access
service.
After a Bluetooth device is configured as a Network Access server it cannot act as a
Network Access client without being re-configured.
