Introduction to Bluetooth

The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless
exchange of data between two devices within a short range. In order to
exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection. Before
a connection is established, one device must request a connection with
another, where the second device accepts (or rejects) the connection. The
originator of the request is known as the client. The device that accepts (or
rejects) the request is known as the server. Many Bluetooth devices can act
as both client and server. A client Bluetooth device runs a software program
that requests a connection to another device as part of its normal operation.
For example, the program may request a connection to a remote computer,
a printer, or a modem.
Becoming a Bluetooth client normally requires an action by the device
operator, such as an attempt to browse a remote computer, print a file, or
dial out on a modem. Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must
be prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth software is
always running in the background on the server, ready to respond to
connection requests.
