NOTE
: Individual Bluetooth phone manufacturers may use different terminology to

tance.

the Bluetooth icon in the Windows system tray when an incoming call is detected.
Click the balloon to acknowledge the notification, and then, in the Incoming Call dialog
box, click the Accept button to accept the call.
The audio signal from the phone is re-routed to the audio output device (speakers or
earphones) on the computer, and the microphone on the computer provides the audio

Reject button.
6.6.8 Network Access
The Bluetooth Network Access service enables a remote Bluetooth device to access a
Local Area Network that is physically attached to this computer or allows a remote
device to become part of an ad hoc network provided by this computer.
After this computer has been configured to provide the Network Access service to
other Bluetooth devices, it will not be able to use the Bluetooth Network Access ser-
vice provided by another Bluetooth device without being re-configured. In other words,
this computer cannot be both a Bluetooth Network Access server and a Bluetooth
Network Access client at the same time.
