Glossary ....................................................................................................... 47 User’s Guide 1. Introduction 1.1 Bluetooth Technology The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices. 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. 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. 1.2 MSI™ Bluetooth USB Hub MSI BTUB (Bluetooth USB Hub) is designed for providing wireless connectivity and USB 2.0 Hub function. Integrating a bluetooth module, it becomes a Bluetooth-enabled USB hub. It extends one HUB port of PC / Notebook to 3 USB ports and 7 Bluetooth device notes.

Personal Area Networking The Bluetooth Personal Area Networking (PAN) Profile enables PCs, laptops, PDAs, and other Bluetooth enabled devices to form either of two kinds of PAN networks. In a Group ad-hoc Network (GN), which functions as an isolated network, multiple PAN Users (PANUs) are linked together via a GN controller. Alternatively, a PAN can consist of multiple PANUs linked to a Network Access Point (NAP), which provides access to external Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure. BlueSoleil supports all three of these device roles — GN (controller), PANU, and NAP. Typical Usage - Group Ad-hoc Network (Peer-to-peer networking) One device acts as the GN, and others function as PANU devices. These computers can visit each other or use an application based on TCP/IP. - Access a LAN via a Network Access Point (or a Computer Acting as a NAP) After the computers connect to the NAP, they become members of the LAN and can directly communicate with other computers in the LAN. 27 MS-6871 Bluetooth USB Hub Connecting the PAN User (PANU) Step 1: Connect to the server’s Personal Area Network service. Step 2: Wait a few seconds for BlueSoleil to obtain and display your computer’s IP address. Configuring the NAP/GN Click Bluetooth Service | Properties and click on the Personal Area Network tab. Scenario 1 Group Ad-hoc Network Select Set up Bluetooth Personal Area Network and Enable DHCP Server. A DHCP server will be started on the GN.
