Bluetooth is a worldwide standard for digital wireless communication and data exchange between two devices. Bluetooth compliant devices exchange data by establishing a relationship with each other, the first device acting as a client, requests a connection, while the second device acting as a server accepts or rejects tht request. Bluetooth devices can behave as client and server; however there are many Bluetooth devices that can only behave as a client. Client Bluetooth devices can only request a connection from other Bluetooth-enabled devices such as a computer, modem, printer, cell phone or PDA. Server devices are usually more complex that client devices since these are the one that determine what services can be used by others. Server devices are aware of the number client device requests since they are constantly monitoring activity to determine whether the accept or reject a request.
