BlueFRITZ!AP-X – 2 Hardware Installation
2.4 Connecting a PC to BlueFRITZ!AP-X:
Without a Cable
To establish a wireless connection from the computer to
ISDN, two Bluetooth devices are needed: one connected by a
cable to the ISDN line, and another installed in the comput-
er. Bluetooth then provides the wireless link between the
two devices.
The device installed in the computer is the Bluetooth client.
The device connected to the ISDN line is the ISDN access
point. As soon as a Bluetooth connection has been estab-
lished between the two devices, the computer is connected
with the ISDN. BlueFRITZ!AP-X is your ISDN access point. Ev-
ery Bluetooth device is identified by a unique Bluetooth ad-
dress. Access to the Access Point is restricted by a passkey.
The passkey is printed on the sticker on the bottom of the ac-
cess point housing. The client requires this information in or-
der to connect to BlueFRITZ!AP-X.
Install the BlueFRITZ! USB as Bluetooth client in the comput-
er that you want to connect to BlueFRITZ!AP-X over Blue-
tooth. During the installation, the client establishes the
Bluetooth connection to BlueFRITZ!AP-X. For installation in-
structions, see the BlueFRITZ! USB manual.
Bluetooth Profiles
Bluetooth profiles are “agreements” between Bluetooth de-
vices, negotiated when a Bluetooth connection is estab-
lished between devices. This guarantees that all data are
transmitted in the form needed by the application. When de-
vices with the same capabilities, and thus the same profiles,
are connected to each other, the profiles determine all pa-
rameters of the Bluetooth transmission. For the user this
means that it is no longer necessary to configure the details
of transmission.
BlueFRITZ!AP-X supports the profiles CIP, PAN, DUN, CTP and
SPP. This means you can connect to all kinds of Bluetooth
devices. A detailed description of how to connect devices is
available in the manual of the respective Bluetooth client.
