Surfing the Web from Your Laptop Computer

1. Introduction

As a technology leader in the wireless networking market, WIDCOMM’s vision is to enable

consumers to easily, conveniently and securely access information and services from their

Bluetooth devices anytime and anywhere – from homes, offices and public places.

WIDCOMM has introduced products that allow you to surf the Web from your laptop

computer.

• BTW™ is a set of software drivers and utilities that seamlessly integrate Bluetooth

technology into your desktop or laptop computer.

• BlueGate™ is the first available server-independent Bluetooth wireless access point in

the world to support extended receiver range capabilities. Acting as a gateway for

shared Internet access, BlueGate creates local “hot spots” of high-speed wireless

connectivity that link as many as seven Bluetooth-enabled devices simultaneously and

connects them to a standard Ethernet network.

This document describes the procedure for using BTW to surf the Web through a BlueGate

2500 Network Access Point. This document was tested using the following configuration:

• A desktop or laptop computer with an available USB interface and running Microsoft

Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, or XP. The Windows Dial-Up Networking component

must be installed.

• BTW version 1.2.1.14 with an attached Psion USB dongle.

• A BlueGate 2500 Network Access Point

The term “LAP” refers to the Bluetooth LAN Access Profile. This profile allows one computer

(the client) to request a Bluetooth connection with another (the server). The client can then use

the server to access a LAN.
