NAP (Networking Access Point)
A network access point is a unit that contains one or more
Bluetooth
radio devices and acts as a bridge, proxy, or router between a
Bluetooth
network and
some other network technology (10baseT, GSM, etc).
NAT
Network address translation, which is used to re-map IP's from one address range to
another range of network addresses.
Non-connectable
A
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 other device to connect to their computer.
Non-discoverable
Bluetooth
devices have 3 modes: General discoverable, Limited discoverable
and Non-discoverable mode. In Non-discoverable mode, a
Bluetooth
device will not respond to any
inquiry so no device can find it.
Non-pairable
A
Bluetooth
device can be pairable or non-pairable. When it is non-pairable, it
will not accept a bonding request from other devices;
P
Pairing Devices
Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each time a connection is
set up. Paired devices share a unique Link Key, which they exchange each time they connect.
PIM
Personal Information Management.
R
Radio Signal Strength
Bluetooth
works on 2.4G ISM band. The radio signal is stronger when
the remote device is closer or the remote device has a higher radio output. The radio signal is weak
when the remote device is distant or the remote device has a weak radio output. The strength of the
remote device's radio signal affects the quality of the communication of the two
Bluetooth
devices.
When the radio signal is weak, the
Bluetooth
data transferring speed is slow. However, if the two
devices are too close and the radio signal is too strong, the
Bluetooth
data transferring speed is also
slow because the "sound" is too loud to "hear". The radio signal strength is always referred to as
RSSI in
Bluetooth
.
Remote Bluetooth Device
All the other
Bluetooth
enabled devices are called remote
Bluetooth
devices in the term of my
Bluetooth
device. They could be a
Bluetooth
modem,
Bluetooth
mobiles
or a
Bluetooth
PDA etc.
T
Trusted Device
Device having unrestricted access to all services on the server.
