LAN
The LAN service is used for accessing a Local Area Network through a dial-up networking gateway. You can use this service to establish a connection to any Bluetooth device which supports the LAN Gateway (Server) role.
The LAN service provides a Bluetooth COM port prepared for Bluetooth dial-up networking. You can use the LAN COM port with Microsoft dial-up networking in order to establish a LAN connection. Please refer to the Windows online help for instructions in how to use Microsoft dial-up networking.
Note that the Bluetooth Software Suite only supports the LAN Data Terminal (client) role. This means that it is not possible to establish a Bluetooth LAN connection between two computers running the Bluetooth Software Suite (as neither of them supports server functionality).
Links can be established by dragging and dropping in the Bluetooth Neighborhood:
Drag the LAN icon from the Local Services bar to one of the following in the list view:
The remote device (or device folder), or
The remote LAN service.
In the following example, a link is being established by dragging the local LAN service to a remote LAN service:
For information on how to set up the program to dial up automatically when a LAN link is established, see “LAN Access settings”.
Note: The LAN Access Profile requires a Bluetooth COM port. By default, the profile is associated with Bluetooth COM port 7. For more information, see “Bluetooth COM ports”.
