Introduction to Bluetooth Wireless Technology

Bluetooth is a short- range wirel ess communi cation technol ogy. It allows wir eless connecti ons between Bluetooth devices such as cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDA), desktop and notebooks computers, input-output devices (mouse, keyboards, and printers), and home appliances. Bluetooth refers to a worldwide standard designed to operate in the internationally recognized ISM (Industrial Scientific and Medical) frequency band. Within the ISM band (2.4 GHz – 2.48 GHz) Bluetooth transmissions hop between 79 separate frequencies 1,600 times every second, and with a communication range of about 10 meters (33 feet) for class II or 100 meters (330 feet) for class I.

Introduction to Bluetooth USB Adapter

Bluetooth USB Adapter is a Bluetooth enabler, that enables your desktop or notebook computer to connect wirelessly to any other Bluetooth enabled computers and devices. It allows a working range of up to 10 (class 2)/100 (class 1) meters (33/330 feet) with a 723 Kbps data rate transmission, and complies with Bluetooth 1.2 and USB 1.1 (support the two lower data-transfer rates of either 1.5 Mb/s or 12 Mb/s)/2.0(support all three data rates: 1.5 Mb/s, 12 Mb/s, and 480 Mb/s. the fast data-transfer rate of 480 Mb/s) specifications. Bluetooth USB Adapter is an ideal solution for home and mobile networking needs. It is easy to install and use for wireless connectivity to such as cellular phones, PDAs, printers, computers, keyboards, mice etc.

Pairing Guide

What’s pairing?

Pairing is a process of associating Bluetooth devices with each other. It allows avoiding entering access information every time when a connection is requested. Bluetooth devices need to be paired with each other before attempting a connection at first time. Paired devices will remain paired, even if:

1. One of the devices is un-powered.

2. A service connection is interrupted or stopped.

3. One or both devices are rebooted.

Pass Key

Paired devices share a unique Pass Key (also referred to as Link Key), by which they authenticate with each other when co nnec ting. The Pass Key can b e alpha numer ic, numb ers, or letters, and must consist of one or up to 16 characters.
