Connection Scheme
in “NAP” operating mode
(access point)
Wait (MAC): Based on the MAC address, other devices
can connect to the access point very quickly in this
operating mode.
Wait (Name): The access point waits for connection
requests based on the network name. Bluetooth clients are
able to dynamically connect to different access points. In
this case, enter the Bluetooth name (“network name”) in the
“Local Name” field.
In addition, this mode considerably facilitates device
replacement since the configuration of clients must not be
changed.
In order to establish connection on the basis of a network
name, the partner must be “visible”, i.e., it must respond to
a scan. The EPAs are “visible” up to the point where the
maximum number of connections is reached. Thereafter,
the devices will no longer respond to a scan.
For all Bluetooth networks, it is in general not possible to
ensure a maximum time limit for changing from one
wireless cell to another (roaming). The roaming times will
increase with increasing Bluetooth network utilization.
Connect to
Select the operating mode of the partner to which a
connection should be established.
NAP: The partner is in the NAP (“Access point”) mode.
PANU: The partner is in the PANU (“Client”) mode.
SCAN
Search for available Bluetooth devices.
Tabelle
After “scan” the available Bluetooth devices are displayed
with MAC address, network name and RSSI value (receive
field strength).
Select an entry. The MAC address and network name are
shown in the corresponding fields.
Name / Local Name
Bluetooth network name (used for connection establish-
ment)
Only those characters of the network name that have been
entered in the “active” device will be compared. The net-
work name of the “passive” device (i.e., the device waiting
for a connection) can be longer.
E.g.: (active -> passive connection)
TestName -> TestName yes
Test -> TestName yes
TestName -> Test no
