Bluetooth Networking Overview
Bluetooth wireless technology lets you make short-range (within a distance of 10 meters) wireless
connections between your computer and other Bluetooth enabled devices, eliminating the need for
cables. Because Bluetooth communications are broadcast over the air, Bluetooth devices exchange
PIN codes and encryption to verify identity and provide security against the interception of sensitive
data. Bluetooth functionality on your computer is enabled by the Bluetooth network adapter that is
installed on your computer.
Types of Bluetooth enabled devices you can use with your Bluetooth enabled computer include:
•
Audio headsets and headphones
•
Human interface devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or game controller
•
Mobile phones
•

Terminology
audio headset
A wearable hands-free audio device that has a speaker and a microphone. Some audio
headsets can be used both for telephone calls and for listening to high-quality stereo audio.
Other types of audio headsets can be used only for telephone calls and for voice playback and
recording.
authentication
A Bluetooth security feature that is used to verify identity. During the initial authentication
process, the Bluetooth device that initiates the connection requires the remote device to supply
a Bluetooth PIN code.
BDA
Bluetooth Device Address (assigned by the manufacturer)
Bluetooth device
Bluetooth enabled hardware such as a computer, printer, fax machine, mouse, keyboard,
mobile phone, headset, headphones, camera, or PDA.
Bluetooth Exchange Folder
The highest-level folder on a Bluetooth enabled computer to which another Bluetooth device
has access. Devices that have been granted access to Bluetooth Exchange Folder also have
access to all subfolders contained within that folder and all files in those subfolders.
NOTICE: By default, Bluetooth Exchange Folder is placed in My Documents. If you relocate
Bluetooth Exchange Folder, do not place it in the root directory or a system folder. Relocating
Bluetooth Exchange Folder to the root directory or a system folder creates the potential for
remote devices being able to harm the operating system on your computer.
Bluetooth Exchange Folder is used to store received files. The location and name of the folder
can be specified on the tab of . If you change the location or Share Bluetooth Configuration
name of the folder, the path is automatically updated. If you select as the Save to folder
place to store received PIM items, received PIM items are also stored in Bluetooth Exchange
Folder.
Bluetooth security code
A secret key that is exchanged between your Bluetooth enabled computer and other Bluetooth
enabled devices each time they connect to verify identity and encrypt the data that is
exchanged. The key is initially exchanged during the pairing process. Also referred to as a
passkey, password, passcode or PIN code.
Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology is a standards-based that allows short-range (within a distance
of 10 meters) wireless communication between Bluetooth enabled devices, eliminating the
need for cables.
Dynamic Host Control Protocol
A protocol used by a server to assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address to a connecting device.
encryption
Encryption translates data into an unreadable format using a secret key or password.
Decrypting the data requires the same key or password that was used to encrypt it.
HCI
Host Controller Interface
Human Interface Device (HID)
An input device such as a mouse, keyboard, or game controller that sends user input to a
computer.
internet telephony
A technology that uses the Internet to place and receive telephone calls.
link key
An internally generated unique security key that is exchanged by paired devices as proof of
identity before a connection is established. Link keys are generated automatically when two
devices pair.
paired devices
Bluetooth enabled devices must be paired before they can establish a secure (authenticated
and encrypted) connection. Paired devices share a unique link key, which is exchanged
automatically each time they connect.
PDA
personal digital assistant
PIM
Personal Information Manager. An application, such as Microsoft® Outlook®, that is used to
manage contacts, send and receive mail, create notes, and schedule events and tasks.
Secure Connection
A Bluetooth feature that requires the exchange of a passkey or link key between two Bluetooth
enabled devices each time you attempt to connect one with the other. All data exchanged over
