8 LAN Access

8.1 Introduction

The Bluetooth LAN Access Profile (LAP) allows Bluetooth-enabled devices to access

the services of a LAN using Point-to-Point Protocol. In this usage model, multiple

data terminals use a LAN access point as a wireless connection to a Local Area

Network (LAN). Once connected, data terminals operate as if they are connected to

the LAN via dial-up networking and can access all the services provided by the LAN.

The LAN application can be used in the following scenarios:

♦ A computer (or PDA) accesses a Local Area Network via a LAP Server.

♦ A computer (or PDA) accesses a Local Area Network via a LAN access point.

Note: Before using the LAN Access Profile in Windows98/Me, ensure that a

Dial-up Adapter and Windows’s component direct cable are already installed on the

computer. (See “Section 8.4: Settings for LAN Access Profile (client side) in

Windows98/Me”). Moreover, every operating system should have an installation of

NetBEUI protocol; otherwise, it cannot use computer name to visit other computer.
