Client IP Setting
When connecting to the AXIS 9010, your
Bluetooth
client (e.g. laptop) needs an IP
address in order to be identified on the network.
Depending on the client, two network profiles are possible: the Local Area Network
(LAN) access profile or the Personal Area Network (PAN) profile.
6.1 PAN Profile
The PAN profile defines a means of enabling
Bluetooth
devices to participate in a
personal area network. The AXIS 9010 can be used as a network access point and
acts as a bridge between a
Bluetooth
network and Ethernet. The AXIS 9010 will
provide network services for each of the connected
Bluetooth
devices.
• Bridging
An AXIS 9010 which supports Network access point services can provide some of
the features of an Ethernet bridge. The AXIS 9010 will forward Ethernet packets
between each of the connected
Bluetooth
devices. The AXIS 9010 with the PAN
profile has an additional connection to stationary network in which the Ethernet
packets are exchanged via bridging.
Note
• IP Masquerading
For the PAN profile the AXIS 9010 will assign IP addresses for the
Bluetooth
clients through IP Masquerading, within a Private network. If the PAN profile is
used, the client should use DHCP for IP setting.
Note
If a DHCP server is available on the network, the client should be configured to
use DHCP.
If no DHCP server is available, the client could be configured to use manually
assigned IP addresses.
If masquerading is disabled, all network traffic from the client is bridged and
the client will not be assigned an IP address from the AXIS 9010.
