With BlueView management software you can define and limit access of Bluetooth devices on your personal area network (PAN).

Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is Bluetooth?

A: Bluetooth is the name for a short-range radio frequency (RF) technology that operates at 2.4 GHz and is capable of transmitting voice and data. The effective range of Bluetooth devices is 32 feet (10 meters). Bluetooth

ports, respectively.

Q: Why is the technology called Bluetooth?

A: The heart of the Bluetooth brand identity is the name, which refers to the Danish king Harald “Bluetooth” Blaatand who unified Denmark and Norway. In the beginning of the Bluetooth wireless technology era, Bluetooth

Bluetooth Special Interest Group, were influential in selecting the name.

Q: How is Bluetooth used?

A: Mobile professionals primarily use Bluetooth to wirelessly synchronize and transfer data among devices. Bluetooth can be thought of as a cable replacement technology. Typical uses include automatically synchronizing contact and calendar information among desktop, notebook and palmtop computers without connecting cables. Bluetooth can also be used to access a network or the Internet with a notebook computer by connecting

Convenience & Organization

Eliminates cables – Offers wireless freedom to communicate with multiple devices. No need to hook up

cables to several devices as the cables are replaced by radio links. Organizes data - Automatically synchronizes data (with required application software) among devices

without user intervention; ensures consistent, updated data in all devices. Saves time - Transfers data 3 to 8 times faster than parallel and serial ports.

Adds flexibility – The Bluetooth personal area network is portable and travels with the user and the

devices. Bluetooth devices can be used in the office, at home, and on the road.

Low Cost of Ownership

No lost or broken cables to replace.

No need to stock numerous cables to support various mobile phone and computing device types.

Global Wireless Solution

Bluetooth spectrum (2.4Ghz) is available in more than 95% of countries worldwide.

Q: How secure is a Bluetooth network?

A: Bluetooth employs several layers of data encryption and user authentication measures. Bluetooth devices use a combination of the Personal Identification Number (PIN) and a Bluetooth address to identify other Bluetooth devices. Data encryption (128-bit) can be used to further enhance the degree of Bluetooth security. The transmission scheme (FHSS) provides another level of security in itself. Instead of transmitting over one frequency within the 2.4 GHz band, Bluetooth radios use a fast frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technique, allowing only synchronized receivers to access the transmitted data.

Q: What is Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)?

A: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) is a spread spectrum modulation scheme that uses a narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, they maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears as short-duration impulse noise. More simply, the data is broken down into packets and transmitted to the receiver of other devices over numerous hop frequencies (79 total) in a pseudo random pattern. Only transmitters and receivers that are synchronized on the same hop frequency pattern will have access to the transmitted data. The transmitter switches hop frequencies 1,600 times per second to assure a high degree of data security.

Q: What is a Piconet?

A: A Bluetooth Piconet is a network of Bluetooth devices that share the same master unit and frequency-hopping may grow to eight (8) connected devices. Bluetooth devices must have point-to-multipoint capability to engage in the duration of the Piconet connection. Devices must be authorized by the user to participate in Piconet

communications.

all other devices in the Piconet. There is one master unit per Piconet.

A: Slave units are all devices in a Piconet that are not the master. The slaves receive frequency-hopping

sequences from the master and rely on the master’s clock for the timing of the Piconet.

Q: What is a Personal Area Network (PAN)?

A: A Personal Area Network is another name for a Bluetooth Piconet.

Q: Are different brands of Bluetooth products compatible?

A: Yes. The Bluetooth Logo Certification Program requires Bluetooth products to interoperate with products manufactured by other vendors; those products that don’t interoperate will not be allowed to use the Bluetooth logo. All of Xircom’s Bluetooth products will be certified and carry the Bluetooth logo guaranteeing their interoperability.

Q: Will other RF (Radio Frequency) devices interfere with Bluetooth Devices?

A: No. Bluetooth radios operate on the unlicensed 2. 4 GHz (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) frequency band that is shared among other devices (microwave ovens, cordless phones, garage door openers, etc.). Bluetooth radios switch frequencies at such a rapid pace (1,600 times per second) and the data packets are so small that interference from other RF sources is highly unlikely. Bluetooth is a robust communication system.

Q: Will Bluetooth and Wireless LAN (WLAN) interfere with each other?

A: No, both Bluetooth and WLAN can co-exist. Since Bluetooth devices use frequency hopping and most WLANs use direct sequence techniques, they each appear as background noise to the other and should not cause any perceivable performance issues.

Q: What is the data throughput speed of a Bluetooth connection?

A: Bluetooth transfers data at a rate of 721 Kbps, which is from three to eight times the average speed of parallel and serial ports, respectively. This bandwidth is capable of transmitting voice, data, video and still images.

Q: Is Bluetooth technology only applicable for notebook computers?

A: No. Bluetooth functionality is ideal for a variety of cable replacement uses for mobile and desktop computing solutions and peripherals. Product manufacturers belonging to various industries (automotive, appliance, electronics, etc.) are in the process of integrating Bluetooth into their products.

Q: What is the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG)?

A: The Bluetooth SIG is a group of companies, led by telecommunications and computing industry leaders, cable replacement for a wide variety of mobility-enhancing devices. This group defines a certification program for

products that desire to use the Bluetooth logo. For more information visit their web site at: www.bluetooth.com.

Q: Is Bluetooth practical for use with mobile devices?

A: Yes. One concern for mobile computing users is power consumption. Bluetooth radios are very low power, drawing as little as 0.3 mA in standby mode and 30 mA during sustained data transmissions. Bluetooth radios alternate among power-saving modes in which device activity is lowered to maximize the mobile power supply.

-free specification for seamless wireless connectivity and

Q: Are there any adverse health effects caused by Bluetooth transmitters?

A: No. Bluetooth transmitters are very low power and have been deemed safe for use. Bluetooth transmitters operate at lower power levels than cellular phones and pose no health risks. Bluetooth products must meet

stringent government and industry regulations for safety.
