Introduction
Introduction to Bluetooth
The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange 
of  data  between  two devices  within  a  Personal  Area  Network.  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.
Introduction to the DBT-120 Bluetooth USB Adapter
The D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter is the perfect wireless solution for quick 
and easy access to Bluetooth enabled devices. It is a class 2/3 low power 
device and is bundled with Bluetooth Software which allows you to connect 
to several Bluetooth devices at once. The wireless transmission range of the 
D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB Adapter is about 30 feet. A PC configured 
as the Bluetooth server can support up to 7 Bluetooth client devices with IP 
addresses being automatically assigned upon a successful connection. The 
Bluetooth Software also provides Internet sharing and security access between 
the server and clients. 
After finishing the steps outlined in this manual, you will have the ability to 
share information, obtain network access, and take full advantage of a wireless 
connected environment.
